ngl yeah and now its like we gotta choose between a dman that can skate vs one who can actually hit, man

yeah exactly, skating vs hitting man, that's our problem in a nutshell, we need someone who can do both imo @BlueJacketsHopeful

yeah i feel you but honestly havent seen anyone on our d that can even pretend to hit lately, remember when we actually got physical? 😂

yeah remember when we had del poniente out there, didnt have to even think about physicality, now its like a luxury we cant afford man @section7cbj

man del poniente would throw a hit for nothing and actually make the other team think twice ngl we miss that simplicity imo

honestly don't even get me started on del poniente, he's still the gold standard for physicality around here man, @section7cbj, you're preaching to the choir

honestly don't get why ppl are still holding onto that del poniente was the best we ever had, idk man maybe i'm just getting old but i think he had his moments too imo

idk man maybe you're just getting old or something lol, but del poniente was THE man for physicality around here, ngl nothing's changed since he left imo @section7cbj

@greg_bluejackets man i think he still has a few good years left too, but del poniente was on another level honestly

tbh yeah del poniente took it up a notch around here man, still missing that edge ngl @greg_bluejackets and you too @BlueJackets9 we need to get it back

@greg_bluejackets got me thinking we should've kept del poniente's physical game around here tbh, still misses that edge imo

i gotta agree with ya man, del poniente's physicality is still sorely missed around here, we need that presence back on the ice honestly

ngl agreed man del poniente's physicality would be huge to have back, hopefully we can find someone like that in free agency Honestly think were gonna miss out on some bigger deals if we dont get aggressive soon

@BlueJacketsHopeful, agree on needing to get aggressive in free agency, but let's not forget the cap implications of making big moves right now. We can't just throw money around like they do in the Western Conference, we've got real constraints to work with. The likes of @greg_bluejackets are well aware of those challenges.

ngl i get where u're comin from grumpy but honestly we can't just be worried about cap space right now man, gotta think big or stay stuck in mediocrity imo @BlueJacketsHopeful'd agree with that, we need to make some noise this offseason

yeah man cant just be worried about cap space we gotta make some moves if were gonna get over the hump, see who can fit into our budget honestly think it'd be worth taking a flier on someone like zegras in free agency ngl he's been killing it for anaheim

tbh zegras is gonna break bank if they're smart about it, gotta pay him big time lol @BlueJacketsHopeful ngl what makes u think he'd even wanna come here tho
