  1. I think we’ll hit 80 -85 points the teams that clinch will start resting and not want to get injured the bottom feeders won’t show up The only teams we need to worry about are the fringe wildcard teams but our guys will pumped and ready to play spoiler Demko looks sharp OEL hronek should be back Ep is ep, kuz high on bananas hughes piling up points. lots of wins coming.
  2. boeser garland will be moved with retention. myers should be movable if we retain on the last year of his contract. I doubt they bring much of a return they painted themselves into a corner every GM in the league knows it. I agree pearson/poolman are buyout candidates unless they’re long term injures will carry though next season. Management wants a win now team so miller OEL stay. raises for hronek Ep AB the following summer. Getting cap under control should be the theme of this summer. (But I know it won’t)
  3. cap space cap space cap space in that order the guys that’ll need big raises are fast approaching instead of the usual uh oh hindsight we should try a new tactic and use foresight. And no buyouts.
  4. lololol what is. You mean like what is this season like what is the past ten years. like what is the current direction. like what is the player we acquired that’s injured and due for a big raise in a year. PA did say the franchise (owner) didn’t want to rebuild that’s on them. So they need to accept the criticism until they prove otherwise. Like I said I’m on board I want to win and win now 80+ points this season would be fantastic. they feel this team is good enough and a win now team so win now. No what ifs or pathetic excuses.
  5. people have a grasp they just still had a glimmer of hope this team would build and actually try to become a cup team and this management wouldn’t repeat the stupid mistakes and the proven failure mandate of this crappy owner. Now that it’s clear we’re a (lol) win now team I hope we crack the 80+ points. since we clearly don’t need prospects and have ample depth to compete for a cup. Lolololol I don’t think it’s the ones who want a rebuild that need to get a grasp.
  6. The way we always do things with Francesco shortsighted long term pain. followed by excuses. 10 years strong.
  7. Owner wants to payout 90+ mill per year only have success in March and draft mid round if they don’t trade the picks for so called “win now” help. buyout OEL or who ever whatever costs the most for Francesco So Now I’m on board for draft ruining wins and hoping for many more season of winning only in March. We might even squeak 4 playoff games in sooner or later. this is what the owner wants I spent years caring and wanting another cup chance but it’s clear that’s not the agenda. 18 games left hope we go 12-6 and get mid 80s points. March is really the only month we win in so might as-well enjoy it since nothing is going to change. when we get a new owner we can once again focus on winning a cup until then it’s the March of fools. Hopefully we can keep our streak going against Ottawa a very good up and coming young team.
  8. sweet win. 10 wins to go to break 80 points. Keeper going! Woooo.
  9. In coming 10 game winning streak. demko back in vezina form ep being ep. Kuz going bananas With hronek OEL coming in Myers hughes filling the top 4 d. we should crack 80-85 points with 19 games left playoff teams start resting and not want to risk injuries. bottom teams desperate to give them selves the best odds to improve. We can take advantage of those situations and pile up some more wins.
  10. A wins a win 19 more to go. fingers crossed we can get to 20th in the standings.
  11. Hope we can win another on the back of vezina goaltending. im officially off team tank I’m hoping to win out the rest of the season.
  12. Hey that’s what they said last year. and at the TDL. pa himself said he underestimated how hard it would be to move out cap. magically it’ll be easier in the summer …this time. it like they’ve maxed out their credit card and got a new one to to make minimum payments. they might understand how valuable cap is but they continue to fail to do what they said the day they got here and ever since create cap flexibility. But it’ll be this summer or next or maybe the next one.
  13. You can keep saying at you want. you can change the fine print as much as you want Cap strapped after the trades Cost a 1st + We need cap (even that’s the same) you keep altering it to the specifics of what the guy ate for lunch. now it’s your turn say “it’s not the same” again.
  14. You specially asked how same type of deal. lol lol. your right there different players , they even have different names Good job. But wait both are D both are offensive D men huh both cost a first + both put us behind the eight ball with the cap tell yourself whatever you want. It’s clear tour excuses don’t even have to make sense.
  15. we gave up a first to patch the d with OEL and we put ourselves against the cap with it we gave up a first to patch the d with hronek we put ourselves against the cap with it. seems pretty similar to me. most were pretty happy with the OEL trade at the time saying a lot of the same things people are saying with hronek. It’s not about the player as much as it’s about the repercussions the deals have. pa himself said they misgauged how hard it is to move cap so what did the do. Add more cap.
  16. I total understand they feel they can add some pieces and we’ll be good to go.I’ve heard that before like when we just tried this exact thing gave up a 1st +++ and got us OEL.how’s that working out. We had an opportunity to stock up and build some depth now this trade will cost us even more because we now are screwed for cap space.again.well have 900K when the summer starts Getting the cap under control should have been the top priority I know I know we can do that this summer and the draft but our history says otherwise in fact it says the opposite. garland boeser Myers aren’t alone Pearson’s coming back possibly poolman. So now we have no choice to either pay with picks or our very limited prospects to shed cap or even worse buy guys out.and get years of dead cap. the media is dumping on this team because it did the exact opposite of what they’ve been saying since they got here “create cap flexibility “ they’ve somehow managed to take very bad situation and make it worse. hronek is under contract for 1 more season then QO of 6.5 (I think) We traded a 1st 2nd for 1 year of decent contract of a decent defender all the same positive things were said when we signed Myers rhd d top 4 …. and even people justified the OEL trade with the draft pick probability nonsense and offensive D man.ect. In the end both were Ill conceived costly short cuts. we don’t have assets of value to trade because we trade picks leaving only our picks to trade. how can we develop a 2nd round hronek or a 28oa AB when we keep trading those picks. We haven’t been able to make a trade from a position of strength for over a decade. and once again we have a manager saying” I think this is a playoff team next year” .…I haven’t heard that before. And just like that it sounds like playoff revenue is the only goal. Again. This franchise has maxed out its credit card and has got another credit card to make the minimum payments and then acts surprised it can’t get ahead. we might not need to do a rebuild we just didn’t need to handcuff ourselves again.
