Thread: Why did you sign Yandle and Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mauston_atthews</b></div><div>You can’t scratch yandle, he has an iron man streak, it would be a really non classy move to sit him. They shouldn’t have signed him, get some other depth defenceman who you can sit and is actually decent in their own end. You have to sit Braun now if you wanna play York, and he is pretty solid. Him and York would be a great pair as York would learn from him.

I’ve cheered for Jones to bounce back every year and he just hasn’t. I don’t think it’s there anymore. Maybe in a hopefully winning environment and the goalie coach it can get better, but it’s a tough bet.</div></div>

If Yandle is the worst dman on the team he's going to be the one to sit I think he realized that it's possible the streak might end when signing else where. I don't expect him to sit at the beginning of the season I think Yandle is in the game one line up but he was a depth signing and again its insurance if York isn't ready you can't play Morin every night it wouldn't work. As for Jones I personally think it was a bad signing but think the reasons I said previously are why they brought him in. I would have preferred Reimer or Halak but I guess they got what they could

Thread: why chuck why
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALitteral</b></div><div>I would have preferred raanta or holtby for the same amount we are paying Jones. Riemer is a fine option. Pretty much anyone who hasn't been objectively terrible at his job for three straight seasons.

Our G coach was with Jones in LA, so the thought process must be that there's something there worth fixing. This move puts all of the pressure on Hart</div></div>

I would have been happy with Raanta but I think he signed for two years so I understand why with all the money going to be spent between G, Coots, and Farabee next season not wanting to commit beyond this season. Holtby only scares me because he was the second worst goalie in the league behind only Hart. Coming into a season with last years two worst goalies just isn't ideal
