6string Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Notice how Edmonton doesn't even remotley come close to the conversation "close to cup potential". I thought Q would be looking to Seattle all this time, I can't see him working Florida. Q is a pure hockey guy and thrives in hockey markets, Florida's an outpost.

Friedman's shtick comes off as being refreshing in the journalist field. He's a 99%'er like you said. I can't stand him like most of the rest in that profession.

Florida has Barkov & Huberdeau. Not far behind Ekblad on D & 2C Trocheck. Some great forward prospects, Tippett, Borgstrom, Heponiemi, Denisenko… Part of which is speculated to be on offer for Jacob Trouba. Who would solve what most ails them, a superb D man to help stop the puck, keep it moving up to forwards... We hate him but Matheson, Yandl as well are very serviceable as a 2knd D pair. They need a goalie, and that key D to become serviceable as a deep play off team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers have a very good core of young forwards, some top young defense and maybe Bobrovsky coming ? Montembeault looks to be a very good young netminder on the way up too. They definitely have potential to be a Playoff team as early as next season, they have a lot of the pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Panthers don’t have Cup potential idk who does. Most their players aren’t even at their peak...they have 2 #1 centremen in Barkov+Trocheck, amazing winger depth in Huberdeau-Hoffman-Dadonov, a true #1 dman in Ekblad, one of the best offensive dmen in Yandle who’s reminiscent to Brian Campbell when he was under Q’s Hawks...and let’s not forget the cap space for which their rumoured to be after Bobrovsky or Panarin this summer. All that combined with one of the best coaches in the world, there’s no way they don’t reach cup potential aka contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in Edmonton itself may factor in some of these things? But by memory, Q is from Saskatchewan & may be more immune to complaint about such things as prairie life than others... That aside, I can see good coaches lining up to coach McDavid, Draisaitl & RNH is viable. They are missing the blue blooded excitement we have with Hughes on D? But Nurse, Klefbom & Larsson, what they paid for him aside, plus Bouchard is in many ways better than what we have in place on defence. Its easier to find depth and support than it is nucleus. Bouchard and a speedy D would go a long way to improving Edmonton's performance. As would recovery of Puljujarvi as a decent prospect. I'm If they have someone smart in management (soon), the real problem is behind the scenes team building, contracts & debilitating decisions. Notably, player personnel with the type of speed that can keep up with their top players. If they could dump Lucic, they could, for example consider going in on Gardiner. Klefbom Nurse Gardiner Bouchard Russel Larsson Sekera Ain't bad at all? Q is the top man on the market. But I could see AV or someone similar taking a $20 mill pact to work from Northlands, Rogers, whatever you want to call it. Who else is available?
