  1. I have them as a surprise bubble team this year, but they're definitely a couple of years away from being more than that.
  2. I guess they're hoping Salminen can step in right away.
  3. My theory is that it wouldn't surprise me for Prokop to discretely request a trade.
  4. This one already has been developing well and is likely to come at a discount due to off the ice reasons with ownership.
  5. Great prospect on the ice and I really admire his character off it.
  6. Prokop please. Very likely he's on the block after the ownership change.
  7. Right after Vegas traded for Alec Martinez? Yep, really packed it in that year.
  8. Explain to me how a team that finished dead last in the league is in a playoff position?
  9. The only piece that was able to help now was Chytl. The trade also didn't get done, which clearly does not give me an example of what I requested.
  10. Show me one situation where a player of Miller's quality was traded at the deadline by a team in a playoff position. There's a reason when teams bring in rentals, the players usually show their appreciation towards management's belief in them. The opposite is also true. Management is on record as saying they want young players who can contribute now for a reason.
  11. Not going to dignify the personal stuff with any comment other than telling you to grow up and act like an adult. You're suggesting taking away a key piece that allows the team to be competitive now. If the team is in the playoff picture, that's a horrible message to send to the group, which is why you don't usually see teams with a chance as sellers. Throwing in the towel just over a year after removing a locker room cancer like Green is not how a winning culture is developed. Pettersson's already on record stating that he wants the team to be competitive for his next contract. All of this can easily be avoided by handling the situation one way or another before camp.
  12. Especially with an upcoming Petey extension. I'm pretty sure Calgary was banking on trading the midget at the deadline and things got awkward when they played over their heads for a season. Now they're also likely to lose the turtle. If we let this happen, there's a good chance Petey leaves as a UFA as soon as he's able to.
  13. And if the team in a playoff hunt, how do you sell that to the locker room?
  14. The problem isn't his offence, the problem is that his defence is as bad as Rielly and Barrie. That's simply not acceptable on any actual NHL team.
  15. The main reason the Sens are willing to spend out money is that the bigoted piece of **** that owned them is dead and his successors actually care about icing a competitive team.
  16. I think management dealt with it well this offseason by taking away Hunt from Boudreau, although I would have preferred if JR had sent him to the AHL where he belonged last year. Boudreau at least conducted himself like a professional unlike the idiot he replaced, but it's in the best interests of the team to ensure that no coach's pets are gifted unearned icetime this season.
  17. Yeah, we don't need a defenceman who can't play defence. I wouldn't take him regardless of contract length or AAV.
  18. I'm 100% convinced HC coerced her into not working with the investigation further.
  19. I like the idea of Mercer instead. He's shown he can produce offence in this league, can play center or wing, young, good defensively and a high compete level.
  20. He's a good player but doesn't fit their window for contention, while those guys do.
  21. Add in our 2023 1st unprotected and they might not hang up.
  22. Let's see how he does in his first full season under an actual NHL coach and without the cloud of his father's health looming over his head. You could clearly see how badly Green had destroyed his confidence along with Petey's; Boudreau got some of it back but you can't undo the damage a guy like Green causes overnight.
