Yeah they needed to skate it out more or do some intense dump and chase. We only have 2 D who can really activate and be agile through attackers IMO and that is Hughes and to a lesser extent Stecher. Myers can jump up but he doesn’t have a lot of side to side mobility it’s more of a bull rush with him.

My question is.. what is the role of Antoine Roussel on this roster. He was great vs STL and MIN. But how do we utilize him vs a team like VGK who have a Reaves who gets energized facing a player like Rooster. Love the guy, great speed - good forechecker. The league seems to like to hand him out penalties like kids get candy at halloween.

Toffoli got hurt in game 1 and came back before he was 100%. He was in a walking boot before he got airlifted in for Game 2. He was probably not even at 80% and yet he made contributions and helped us reach a game 7. -

Ok I am ready. Trade Sutter. I would strongly consider packaging Gaudette to move Eriksson. I am a touch worried he might get way better after this playoff XP tho. Trade Jamie Benn for a pick. So all in all.. Trade Brandon Sutter Trade Jamie Benn Trade Eriksson with a package if possible. Release Chris Tanev Re-sign Tyler Toffoli Make Decisions on Troy Stecher and Jake Virtanen Consider... trading Markstrom's rights unless.. he agrees to a cheaper contract with no trade protection. If not... Sign a Greiss or solid 1B goalie. -
Pettersson: A- - Great playoffs by Petey, I only give him an A- because I thought he could have provided more scoring. He will get it in the future. Miller: A+ - The engine of the lotto line. Miller deserves every penny he is making and was hugely impactful on the ice and its young players. Toffoli: B- - Injuries hurt his play but I was really impressed. A B- may seem a bit harsh but I put that more so due to his injury. He is a piece I would like to bring back. Horvat: A - Great leader, lead by example , got some key goals that got us this deep into the playoffs. He struggled vs Vegas but he had a terrific playoffs. Pearson: B- - Played fantastic vs Minny and the Blues. Definitely was less effective vs Vegas offensively. Pearson is who Pearson is. Some players play better vs different teams. Boeser: B - Fantastic playmaking but often bobbled the puck and really struggled with his skating, puck control. Very good two way player these playoffs. Roussel: B+ - Provided energy, speed, and provided some emotion for the guys. He made Vegas better unfortunately by firing up Reaves but he had a great effort. Sutter: B- - Played excellent vs Minny and pretty good vs the Blues. He was more of an afterthought in this series though. Time to send him to pasture. Gaudette: C+ - He brought some speed, i liked him with Roussel but he didn't make enough of an impact. Has great hands tho saw it tonight. Motte: A+ - What needs to be said about this stud. Best forechecker, most energetic player, and countless selfless acts blocks etc. Beagle: B+ - Played his role well, think he was hurting a bit vs Vegas. He was fantastic vs Minny and the Blues. Virtanen: B - I believe he had an all around decent playoffs, played well defensively, had timely scoring, and played physical when we needed it. Macewen: B- - He was effective vs Minny, loved his size but his skating and endurance became a question. Hope he has a good offseason. Hughes: A+ - Broke records.. Played fantastic. Had a bit of an injury it sounds like vs Vegas yet still managed to be very impactful. Tanev: A- - Very solid defensively, ate shots and provided some good leadership to a young core. Struggled some but played above water. Edler: A - The old Stallion did wonders again these playoffs. Ate so many shots, broke up so many plays and laid the body. Myers: A- - Great playoffs by Mysey. Played hard, difficult to get past and made the oppositions nights hard each and every night. Stecher: A- - First game vs Minny looked bad. He has gradually gotten better and better. Good effort by the kid went past my expectations. Fanta: B+ - Solid, dependable and played the way we needed him too. Struggled some vs Vegas but all our players did. Benn: C+ - Helped us past the blues but he struggled mightily vs Vegas. Appreciate his contributions tho! Juolevi: B+ - Given expectations of olli and his one game of play. He definitely met and exceeded expectations. Markstrom: A- - Played extremely well all playoffs. Felt like he should have conceded the net sooner if he was hurt before his last game. Demko: A+ - Fantastic play, the team played better defense in front of him. I believe he should be given a chance to be our future starter.

Great effort by the guys. We had a hell of a run and gained a lot of respect from around the league with that gutsy effort. The kids will learn from this and we now have seen what demko can do at his peak. A really fun series. Felt we hanged back a bit to much but we will learn from this. Loved Jake's desire to be a difference maker in the 3rd too.
