hem is trade bait every year, but this year it feels inevitable. *HL braces for impact*

Hmm, I think I can PARTLY agree that it is better than the results suggest, but I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near good enough. This is one of the reasons I dislike Tambellini, the perennial evaluator.

There are big holes that need to be filled… in net… on d… on forward.

I love where our top six is, with and without Hemsky (although with preferred, actually). But outside of that, I think it needs some good tweaking. I’m responding on the forum too to you. lol be a few with that one.

What do you make of Tambellini’s comments that this team is much better than the results suggest. Where does that put Renney’s efforts? Are we blaming injury again?

Speaking of re-signing Hemsky. Sounds like he is asking high and not concerned if he gets moved….
