Stars. Rangers and back to back with Florida. No way you run with Martin. It’s trade week yall. Watch out. 

I've been saying for almost 2 weeks the 2nd half of November was brutal, and that was before last night.

And I took some heat for simply pointing out the next week will be particularly difficult, and that was before last night.

Teams are going to want a pretty penny to give a Cup contender a goalie, so how do you want to roll? Keep the current lines and hope to out score teams while going with a #3 and #4 goalie? Or get someone's #2 goalie and give up 1 or 2 players off the roster?

New here.....Just wondering why this franchise is allergic to getting a stud goalie sometime. Freddie is always hurt (is he soft? I hate to write that and my caveat is I never played the game.....but jeez.....) and whoever backs him up usually gets hurt. This seems like such a great franchise other than lack of interest in either drafting and developing goalies, or trading for or signing FA goalies. It is mystifying.  The equivalent of throwing a bunch of cr*p at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Word is they are looking hard at Gibson and Bennington

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
