  1. I guess these bubble playoffs was just a write-off then? It really stings because you could see the promise that this team had when our team was all intact during the playoffs. It looked like we were right there - so close to actually being able to compete with the contenders and could be a contender if we just strenghtened our D-core. Now that Marky, Tanev, Stecher and Toffoli are gone.... it hurts. However, it is only 4 days in and there are still options. I'm just going to be patient.
  2. I believe it was only Madden and a 2nd. No 1st included. I'm not a big fan of what happened either (not being able to resign him), but I guess if there is any consolation, we have a 4th because of it.
  3. Not only when Toff was injured, but this also was very evident in the Vegas series. The only reason we stayed alive was because of Demko. Our defence was getting shelled every game and definitely overwhelmed in comparison to the Vegas D-core.
  4. Just when it seemed like Virtanen was leaving (Benning not being happy with him) and Toffoli was staying (rumors that a deal was close), the complete opposite happened. Safe to have no expectations I guess lol.
  5. Yeah I agree. The only thing that really irked me with GMJB is that he kept stating the importance of consistently being able to make the playoffs for our young players, but seems to have had no plan for how we continue to keep doing so. For instance, the Toffoli trade was all just so we could get into the playoffs once this last season? A one-off? We gave up a second and a top prospect for 17 games. Where is the “hindsight” in that? It’s okay now because we finally made the playoffs again for once? Hughes, Petey, Boeser have some experience now, so it’s ok if we don’t make it next year? I know its still very early on and things can definitely change. However judging by his actions, he seemed unprepared, distracted (because of the OEL fiasco), and right now is confused about how whether this team is or isn’t a playoff team next year. Just my thoughts.
  6. Fair. He’s learned from his past mistakes. His past mistakes have proven costly though.
  7. Hurts when we have 3 million each invested in 4th line tweeners like Roussel and Beagle, but can’t invest in a 25-30 goalscorer that would only cost 1 million more. Masterful job by Benning. People that are defending this are blaming the flat cap situation. Lol. Bottom line is that the Roussel/Beagle deals were always bad deals, Covid or no Covid. It’s a lack of hindsight by the GM.
  8. I respect Toews as a competitor, however it I think it is an inevitable fact that eventually their time of dominating would come to an end. They dominated the 2010's for the most part and have 3 cups to show for it. They're (kane/toews) the ones that committed long term to this team and should've seen this coming before signing their contracts years back if they were planning on staying a long time.
  9. Tanev and Stecher gone... It is true that they are "overhauling" the blueline. I wonder what management is planning.
  10. Just when I thought I couldn’t hate Calgary even more. They never disappoint. I really can’t imagine him in that ugly red jersey. Makes me want to gag.
  11. Maybe Holtby can have a Miller-like impact on Demko? I remember Miller really had a good impact on mentoring Marky and showing him the ropes. Albeit younger, Holtby kind of reminds me of Miller’s situation when he arrived here. Our future depends on Demmer now.
  12. As much as I respect Marky for all he’s done here. I hope we light him up whenever we face him and make him regret signing with a division rival
  13. At least it means we don’t have to linger on this anymore since ARZ was too indecisive. Time to look at the agents on the market.
  14. I agree. Goligoski had 32 points in 70 games. Those are top 4 numbers. He also only has 1 year left on his deal. A playoff team looking for experience can easily be a good fit for him. Stepan has had an awful past two seasons but he also is only 30 and also only has a year left on his deal. He was a 50 point player before he played for Arizona and Tocchet. A change of scenery might do him well. Maybe Columbus wants some depth and experience? (He could be reunited with Torts where he had his best years). Ottawa? (Good veteran leadership for the young players; they can also afford him). The thing about both these players is the term. They can hit or miss, but with a year left on both of their deals. Not much of a gamble.
  15. Yes. Exactly. Just as I said, they had other options. Unlike lots of other OP’s opinions
  16. So much for that. I thought Arizona absolutely NEEDED to trade him. Yeah. That definitely happened. Oh no. What will they do now?
  17. Good thing hockey is a sport where the athletes have to wear helmets because that would be tough to have to keep looking at.
  18. Definitely not the best looking lad. At least he's good at hockey.
  19. Solid deal. A good "show me what you can do" contract. He had 72 points two seasons ago and I think he is still capable of that if he plays with PLD.
