Because it is. Ruff has no idea what to do and that is grounds for firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes total sense. Just move Ruff into some sort of administrative role and give Brunette the keys FFS. Ruff has no idea what he's doing anymore and his incessant need to have a "defensive" player in the top 6 despite not being top 6 caliber is killing this team.

He's taking galaxy brain to the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even like Bratt on Jack's line, to be honest. They are both puck possession zone entry guys. It's too much overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing his way out of a contract for me. Insane considering his start to the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane considering his start to the year. The crap part is that I don't know if there's a hockey trade to be made with Bratt to stir it up. That's what I would be looking at. Otherwise he seems like a guy that gets moved in the offseason for a late first + prospect like Fiala was. That's not stuff we should be doing. Like, okay, if we fall out of the playoff race this year we better be selling Graves / Wood / Tatar / Severson as rentals. That's just common sense. But if we have to move a guy like Bratt, we need ot get talent that can help win now back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This crazy need for everything needing to be a "hockey trade" from Fitzy is beyond shortsighted. You can't narrow your options, much like the refusal to trade for a rental, and expect to build a complete team or a consistent winner.

He's got a good shot, the fact that he's always looking for the pass drives me nuts. No reason he can't pot 30-40 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading him for futures is the lowest ranked item when it comes to extending him or hockey trade. You just put yourself in an endless rebuild cycle when trading for futures.

It's simple. If you can't get X for Bratt straight up, but you trade him for futures that make sense for another team, you turn around and flip those assets. Trading for futures does not perpetuate an endless cycle of rebuilding lol. That's total bull****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
