think it's more a "statement" move than an impending trade. He has 12 points in 30 games so it's not entirely unwarranted but nothing gonna put out these flames.

Often times the coach is the scapegoat, so I could see that as a possibility. At least from what I’ve seen, it seems like most of the blame/narrative has been around the players, so it will be interesting to see what direction they go.
I think getting rid of Trouba’s cap and extending Shesterkin was a good move. I think moving Kreider and Zibs for quality player(s) would be a good move, but the issue will be teams wanting them based on performance and contract.
I do expect changes. It will be interesting to seee what they do.
there is no moving Mika contract, they are absolutely stuck with that and Kreids barring massive salary retention. A myriad of problems but the defense as currently comprised is barely above AHL caliber so they are gonna get roasted often. Case in point the Devils skating circles around them this afternoon. Drury needs to sell off anything he can. Going into next season only two defenders (Fox, Schneider) are under contract. Team gonna look VERY different indeed but I have hope in that at least the path is clear now. This team's chance was last year, didn't happen, and now it's very clearly time to turn the page in major fashion.
thank you Drury for claiming Kaliyev, nice low-risk potential high-reward move.
I thought “no Crosby, no Malkin…great night to start the voodoo king that is Shesterkin this year.” NOPE! You gotta be shittin me. No win. This team is hot garbage.

I'm not pleased they went the "go for it" route with the acquisition of Miller when the writing is on the wall they should've been selling. They have what can be some really nice rentals in Lindgren, Smith, Vesey, K. Miller. Hopefully the tires explode off the wagon the rest of way to the deadline and they change course to seller. But we all know they gonna go all in for Panarin's last season signed next year like morons.
