While we should have a lot of 20 goal scorers, I worry about scoring by committee. I worry about not having a clutch go to game changer. I think we need Max more than we can admit. Granted I also want him for a short contract at the right money but…
I would call this year "Identity Building". Not rebuilding because we've never had an identity. I don't see us making the playoffs, but I do see us competing night in and night out. Consistency I hope is the order of this year. That will give us som…
Point is we cannot do jack with him until his salary is known. I doubt he goes to arbitration but then I wondered why he did not agree to the QO. MacArthurs game has alot of holes and getting torn apart in a hearing does no one any good.

But that statement made it sound like w…
I agree, but to play devils advocate, we've had a full time guy in the past and look where that's gotten us. I have read in the past that a lot of teams do this and that it's nothing new.
And the season hasn't even started.. but seriously???? "A goaltending consultant will also be hired. He’ll be part time and
probably won’t be based out of Atlanta according to Craig Ramsay who
flew out today for a family reunion. "fucking seriously?…
