  1. Sure the goalie is a big part of the pk what about 5 on 5? Myers doesn’t get a pass for all the gaffs that lead directly to goals. Especially the countless unforced errors he made or the odd man rushes he caused because he can’t hit the net and constantly got caught deep.
  2. Having Garland scratched would be a disaster. Thats Eriksson all over again. The best case scenario is that he has a great season and we can get something for him.
  3. We’re gonna blame the goalie for him routinely coughing up the puck, laying down and taking himself out of the play, falling over, getting caught deep on a pinch, shooting the puck 10 feet wide, or passing it right up the middle?
  4. You don’t get a nickname like “chaos giraffe” for no reason… The guy regularly turns simple plays into a complete fire drill. If it weren’t for his reputation and draft position, no I don’t think he would be a regular top 6 anymore. Schenn is a better D man than him.
  5. MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY!! Some of the absolute best calls in the history of the game. RIP to a legend.
  6. He had the same coach as Adam Fox. Its on him for not developing his full game.
  7. Rathbone will not be in Abby. He’ll be playing for a different organization in the fall whether through trade or waivers.
  8. A GM is never doing as bad as the haters say and never doing as good as the homers say. Best rule to go by. Yzerman is laying the foundation for the next GM to get all the glory. That’s often the way of the builder GMs. Same thing happened with Tallon.
  9. Don’t get too used to that number Aiden.
  10. They did have an impressive streak of top 10 busts didn’t they? Too early to call Kakko and Lafreniere busts but certainly you would hope they’d be in your top 6 by age 21/22 considering where they were drafted. Good thing they had two picks those years and kind of made up for it with Miller and Chytil.
  11. LTIR space isn’t exactly the cap space I was talking about. They’re still spending to be a bottom 15 team. Those prospects are a bunch of meh. Every team has prospects on their level. For a team that’s rebuilding it’s really not impressive. As for the future picks we’ll see where the playoff teams they got them from finish. Might be more quantity rather than quality.
  12. Reinbacher could very well be a top pairing guy but definitely not a lock. Could end up being a solid 3/4. I would say the same thing about Willander who we got at 11. As for Slafkovsky clearly they were enamoured by his size but he’s a big old question mark for me. Lekkeramaki could very well develop better than him at this point.
  13. Those rankings always rank teams higher if they pick higher, doesn’t mean they have better players. It’s all hype. I would compare any of their top 4 prospects to our top 4 of Lekkeramaki, Willander, Pettersson, and Silovs.
  14. Hopefully Ohlund. Ohlund in his prime was a true number 1 D man.
  15. Still spending way too much for a team that could (and should) very well finish bottom 10 again. Top 5 prospect pool? Hardly. They barely have a better pool than the Canucks. I would say we have prospects just as good in every position except maybe center.
  16. Cap space? They also need more prospects to fill out their pool. They’ve got a couple high end guys but not much else.
  17. They’ll be bad next season. Might as well get good value for vets while freeing up cap space. They’re in build mode you’re right which is why they’ll need draft capital, prospects, and cap space.

    Captaincy

    Not even remotely true but keep on believing the lies. Hughes skating allows him to effortlessly skate the puck out of trouble. He’s not even often forced to win puck battles cause he’s already moving the puck up the ice.
  19. Why would they want good D if they’re tanking though? No team is gonna give up a good young D for him. They’ll be looking for prospects and picks.
  20. Wonder if Savard could be available. Montreal is too close to the cap now. I doubt ownership wants their rebuilding team spending that much.

    Hughes has the fire. Just cause he doesn’t have outbursts and is cool and calm on the ice doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the intensity.
