Much much less collapsing to the middle of the ice! We all know that their offensive systems are top in the league, but to successfully and so convincingly flip a switch like that tells me that we are in for something VERY interesting coming down the stretch here. Noticed that...going at them a lot more. It was absolutely amazing! Expect the unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 2 legit offensive lines could keep as a playoff contender. Who knows Ferlands status, his future might be on LTIR. Then Josh Leivo's injury has likely hurt his UFA value. Maybe we can bring him back on a decent value contract. Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Toffoli Leivo - Gaudette - Virtanen Roussel - Beagle - Motte I have a feeling they are going to sit down with Loui & try to figure out a resolution to this situation. The key thing then will be to move Sutter, or if there no takers possibly Roussel. (Tho that wouldn't be ideal) I don't think the team has any say in that, other than sending him down.

It makes a lot of sense. He may very well and that would be best for the team. However, its 100% his decision and I think any implication made by the team toward that might get them in hot water with the CBA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hope you're right, it's hard to imagine a guy walking away from 8 million dollars for the good of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be trading an RFA in Stecher and ending up with a better d man? Who? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we have to find money to sign JV, Tanev, Fanta, Stech, Toffoli or whoever they want to re-sign, I think he would be considered... We can't afford them all... big decisions to be made...

The entire hockey world might be a little shocked. I still can't believe we pounded the $&!# out of them as badly as we did. Has Boston been ventilated like that yet this season?
