  1. Well, you are right on the second count Coconut. The team did not show up either...............but at worse, this is a 3-2 game..............not that we deserve to be in it.
  2. Halak's game plan was to get his bonus............then sieve, then never play another game this year! And it is probably going to work!
  3. Here is my problem.......... In 2014-2015 , we were 8th in the league, and then the following year, we were 28th in the league then again In 2019-2020, we were 17th in the league, but 7th in our conference so we go in and had a bit of a playoff run and again, we fell back to earth in 2021-2022 we fell back down to 24th OA. So, we had this short term history of up and down, and now we are up again. Now every time we are up, all the players are darlings, then we slump, and its trade everyone. The problem being, is you never want to de-rail the start of a actual climb out of the basement, but on the other hand, you do not want to waste asset if it is just a one off. So what is it, JR? Are we ready, or are we still in rebuild. Can any assets acquired be ready for this core? What is that cost? Is it a draft pick? Is it a trade? One thing for certain, without a trade of a major piece, there will be no UFA's of any significance. So the only other means is through the draft................and a 3 year wait. It is fun to speculate, but honestly, I have no idea.
  4. Yes, it will, but it will have BB toe marks on the players. And JB would still be here if he could have recognized that.
  5. You got to get this to Bruce! LOL................best one I have ever seen!
  6. I think your point is valid, except that NYR's have to pay Fox next year. Big jump.......$925,000 to $9,500,000, so it has to have cap retention. Then and only then can NY Rangers actually go for it. So, that is where the extra assets comes in...so Miller for Schneider and a 1st is fine, but Miller with Cap retention is Schneider, a 1st and another decent asset.(2022-2nd?) As for Mukhamadulin, why are we going for another LHD, when we have Rathbone in the system? I guess, but I would rather get another forward prospect, as we are loosing 2 above average forwards. Maybe something like McCleod and a 2022-2nd (McCleod is a RHC with a 58% FO %, and has alot better +- than Zacha) But I do think your original opinion is valid if there is no retention........
  7. I don't think you reach for position, but I think you can trade up and draft without reaching............... For instance............Boeser is great, but you can get someone close to his skill level in the UFA market where does Boeser and our 1st get us? IMO, it get's you Ottawa's (6) pick for sure, and most likely New Jersey's (4), now there is no doubt that is a big cost, but IMO, it is what you have to pay for a Nemec or Jiricek...........
