What offensive lineman are worth keeping?

I'd rather keep our d line the way it is. They will keep us in more games than any one person we'd trade for imo. Unfortunately, we aren't in win now mode. Until Shula proves otherwise, the front 7 might be the highlight of my year.

Gross, Amini, Kalil. That's all. Amini needs to seriously show some second year improvement though. Our OL coach is probably aging 10 years every week from all the stress he's being put under.

Back-up wise, I'd keep...Bell as a back-up. That might be it. Obviously kugzilla too...for now.

If Bell had a serviceable Guard to play next to, do you guys or gals think his play would improve?

 

Bell got pushed back into Cam about half the pass plays in that last game.  He's a decent back-up, but I think he has proved to be just that.  I would have loved to see Gett bring in at least some competition for him this year.  If you look at the Giants OL, they never make huge moves but draft guys and start them when they are ready.

Only gross and kalil would be starting for any team with a good line. Williams, Bell, Kugbilla can all suck my balls they would be cut or third string on a team with a good line. Silatolu would be a decent backup on a team with a good line.

Our Oline is a shitty joke of a unit.

PS - I hate our offensive line. They are going to get our quarterback killed .

Besides the starters, no one is really worth keeping. Garry Williams should've been cut last offseason, but we really have no one else to put at RG. They probably will keep just Campbell and Byers as backups for familiarity on the line and Kugbila cause they just drafted him. This is like trying to find the cleanest pieces of trash in a dumpster.

    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
    • You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
