What are the needs in SJ?

Stopping pucks and reversing the hands of time.

Labanc for georgiev?

At this point, I would do it. Though Dell has improved vastly and taken the starting job.


A top six RW. A 3rd pairing RHD. A miracle. A Power Play that can score (1 for 35 or something recently). And a Miracle. Consistent goaltending. A Miracle. If all else fails we will need to find a way to get a first round pick in this upcoming draft.

A miracle is pretty hard to come by, let alone 2

It’s true. They fix one issue and another pops up, every single time. Starting to think DeBoer wasn’t really the problem. Simply replacing Steve Spott would have been sufficient.

All SJ has really changed is the forecheck which is now a 2-2-1 format instead of Pete’s 1-2-2 setup. Beyond that they’re taking less shots from the point (Burns, Karlsson) and moved Labanc to the high slot on the PP. they have like five days off before a back-to back vs STL and VGK this weekend (brutal) but maybe the practice time, which SJ rarely gets due to their travel schedule (which is historically the worst in the league) will let Boughners system set in and be successful. But I think it might be too late.
