A scoring winger to compliment Ribeiro and a top-notch defenseman was the solution we needed for 3 straight seasons and didn’t get it. We could’ve used it last year as well and still failed to do so.

I could rant for hours about all of the things we did wrong in this re-build, but that’s for another story and time. I don’t want to spread my Goats-blood mentality too much and ruin the spirits of others.

I did admire what Dale Hunter did during his short time as coach, and I think Adam Oates is basically carrying over what Hunter would have started. They really aren’t that different and if you’ve watched how Hunter runs the Knights, defensive hockey isn’t their only dimensional aspect of the game. With any hockey team, or sports team, defense should always come first. I’m hoping that Oates can transition Ovie’s game, because if he can’t do it, then I’m not sure who can.

If the league were to change the format in which a team moves over to the East, it makes sense to swap Winnipeg with Detroit and Columbus. I guess that means that some solution would have to be made to solve the imbalance. A friend of mine suggested that the 5th seed from an 8-team division can move up and become the 4th seed from the 7-team division.
