By simply firing Tyler Tucker and Logan Mailloux into the sun and replacing them with literally anyone not named Albert Johansson they can improve the third pair! We could make the Sun a nice place to live, maybe have Stillman foot the bill for a nice bungalow or something.

Mostly joking, but our D structure this year has been a mess, and a lot of it seems to be coming from the fact that our third pair at the start of the season needs went so poorly we’re splitting our second pair to cover.

If we had a legitimate third pair guy quality guy I think our backend would sort itself out way nicer. We’re currently running a coterie of 7th d-men and AHL quality guys.

  1. An alternative plan is somehow cloning 22 more Philip brobergs but I haven’t quite worked that one out yet

  2. Oh we can’t do that Mailloux is “developing”…. To what… that’s a good question. But he’s developing…

  3. Everyone always says playing defense in the NHL is one of the easiest jobs to pick up!

  4. Mailloux had a bad game last game but you’d have to be blind to not see his improvement from the start of the season to now.

  5. But I think if our D men, mainly Faulk, score one million goals, do we really have an issue?

  7. What is frustrating is our team play. Last night Mailloux had a turnover that led to a goal. But he made a decent pass to Buch to exit the zone and Buch mishandled it.

    When the team plays like shit the younger guys look terrible. Tucker helped drive some of our only offense last night as well.

    Hard to watch the games we clearly give up after a couple of tip in goals compared to games where we have a complete effort and win 6-2.

  11. I’d rather see buch go than these 2. They can at least learn new tricks. Buch looks like old yeller after older yeller was bitten by the wolf. Except Buch was scored on by the jets with 1.6 seconds left in a game 7 and then lost in OT instead of being bitten.
