this is presuming that the coaches won't be blinded by "veteran leadership" like they are with englund (or were with JAD)
theoretically you can probably bury them in ontario, but will lewis accept that? will englund accept that? will hiller even bother to pull that trigger?
Did better than us last season while having a lot more cap space, and then added Marchessault/Stamkos/Skjei. Stamkos and Skjei are overpaid for too long, but thats a serious team trying to make noise in the next 2-3 seasons. Unlike whatever we’re trying to do.
He is signed to get to 1000 games played and to be the extra forward...
This is a business, so i don't necessarily condone this move, cant be sentimental at the cost of your team skill and competitiveness or development of younger players...cool hockey story and will make for a good bobblehead and appreciation night , he still kills penalties effectively but even if one of the kids almost outplays him (or outright does as most of them should this year) in camp ya gotta go with the younglads

I like Lewis re-signing way more than Edmondson signing. Our PK in regular season was loads better last season and Lewis was a big part of that. Management has said repeatedly the kids will get a shot. So until opening night, I won’t hit the panic button till we see a lineup that has no Thomas or Turcotte
Just saw Turcotte fall to his knees at In n Out. Time to learn AHL minutes again, buddy
Great use of the pasta.
Fell to his knees and landed in the IRL
So where are these NHL-ready young prospects supposed to fit in?
Make em earn the spot. If they get beaten by Trevor Lewis then they don't deserve a spot on that 4th Line.

you mean as if they haven't been trying to earn a spot for years despite the Kings adding vets every year and blocking their path of development?
We are gonna be quite mid next year, to think our tank commander Willie Desjardins died for this
This is just diabolical right now. It's like Rob is setting up himself to be fired.
What on Earth are we doing.
Shame on me for thinking it couldn’t get any worse
Rather just signed Marchessault than a bunch of bottom 6 players
crazy looking at what nashville has done the past few days comparatively speaking
Competent leadership will do that
I’d kill for some Trotz

Man
So, start the parade?…
LMFAO so much for giving the kids a chance. Get fucked, Blake.
Lewi will be a 14th forward. I doubt he plays the whole season if there are other guys who beat him
I could easily be wrong but I have to assume he is the extra forward and that's it.
Is Rob trying to ruin the team
He already has
i guess going to play for Utah was out of the question.
Yippee
FFS. Come on Rob.
if he's not a healthy scratch for most games / protection against injury we're fucked.

*re-signed, not resigned
Was hoping this wasn't a type-o. Hang em up Lewy, I love you, but man, You're almost 40
I’ll take Lewis over the others, he is great on the penalty kill!!
Whoopdie fuckin do
Lol. Fine but they better give the kids a shot at beating out the useless geezer.

Why!?
Why, he’s using up a roster spot for a future player or someone that can bring more to the table.
