Doesn't include the fluke covid bubble playoffs. What is a true rebuild? Anyways. Anaheim never did one for example. They are having a good season. They just drafted where they picked. Didn’t sell much. This is what I’ve been talking about. Why more rebuilding when it’s possible that we’ve been a good team for awhile. We just have the right coach now? I believe just that. We are a good team. Maybe others don’t agree but time will tell for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry isn’t a very good example. He’s a far cry from the player he was. Point being selling assets isn’t the only way to rebuild. Every team has a different situation. However I’m still not sold on that team but again we will see where it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a risk to sign Miller, and you could pull a move like the Av’s did with Duchene. On the other hand, Chris Kreider is absolutely helping NYR with his scoring size and speed but it remains to be seen how the contract will age. Tough call TBH. This is exactly, where I stand on this issue as well... tough call... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading one player =\= rebuilding. There's no reason we can't continue to be a "bubble playoff team" while continuing to add younger pieces and re-jig some depth from F to D.

You need to get compensation in other forms....aka no trade clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need more time. It’s been a whirl wind season. Ever since the bubble I’ve been watching them and something wasn’t right. No the bubble wasn’t a fluke. You don’t fluke out for 2 and half rounds. Then you have the people that Figured we wouldn’t make the playoffs when covid stuck. No actually we were tied for a playoff spot. Now the best team we’ve had in years. Are we good enough? I don’t know that. It seems we are short a couple pieces to me. I need to see at least another month of hockey and ill know personally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hot goalie is huge in the playoffs. I think if we keep climbing the standings and we are sitting pretty by the tdl, JR'S gonna go for it.

There was no way they were gonna beat Tampa but I don’t believe in a fluke to the finals. That’s a lot of hockey games. That situation was unique though so you could say they are better matchups on route the the finals. If we stay hot you stick with the group imo. It would be something special with the coach and players working your way up from the bottom. Plus we aren’t in a position to “go for it” We need to keep our draft picks and it sounds like Rutherford was pretty focused on doing that. Maybe we add a 4th liner with a 5th rounder or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
