We are still 4 points behind for WC… better than zero

5 points, we don’t hold any tiebreakers.

 

…. but really 7-8 points back because Dallas is there with a bunch of games in hand that you have to assume they will win some of.

For those dreaming about a top 3 pick

 

"Two more rule changes that will be in place for the 2022 draft lottery are: 1) A team cannot jump more than 10 spots in the lottery. So the top bottom 11 teams have a shot at first and the bottom 12 have shot at second. 2) Teams cannot win the lottery more than twice in a 5 year span."

 

I have a feeling they gonna win enough to finish middle of the pack on the wrong side of the playoff line

Time to start studying the 2022 draft prospect list 

Nemec and Jiricek both represent that elusive RHD with size and skill we’ve been searching for.

 

Nemec being a smart, sturdy all around defender and already 190lbs.
Jiricek 6’3 with a deadly slap shot to go with a Bieksa-type game.

The team's gotta think about selling tonight, but I feel like it's too late to do anything.

 

What ends up happening is that we lose assets for nothing, either due to injury or just the fact that we can't afford them (ala Benning). Signing Miller makes no sense for a team that can't even beat Buffalo at home, and it was a MUST WIN game, if they hoped to make the playoffs.

 

It was a good run, but we were simply too deep in the hole. The firing of Green came just a bit too late.

 

Sell Miller to the highest bidder. Sell Motte. Rebuild/retool through the assets. Who knows? Maybe we'll surprise with a superstar prospect next year.

 

It's not about panicking. A plan to re-stock the prospect pool is not a bad one.

Should be, it's gross. It's a damn shame they've won it twice and we've never used one. 

 

At least we've got you, that's pretty close. 

Yeah, Petey/Hughes is still pretty good.  If Petey can get back to being a #1 centre then we should be able to match Buffalo for the best 1-2 punch.

Do you guys know the truth? The truth is JT Miller is the only player who can produce on this squad.
 

Franchise center Petey? When was the last time he created even a scoring chance. Let’s not even talk about scoring. Last time he single handedly created a scoring chance. When was it? Do you remember one?

 

Our elite scorer Brock who is now 20 goal scorer? Where was he? 
 

let’s not dump on guys like Garland, Pearson, Chiasson or whatever. It’s the Peteys, Brocks of the world who are supposed to show up as leaders and so called “franchise” superstars of the team. Stop just stop. They have all the power play playing time of the world and what… our superstar center has 18 goals and our elite first line scorer has 18 goals? And they are supposed to be 8 million players?!? Stop this non-sense man. You guys all know it. Just gotta admit. The first year Petey is gone. So is the first year brock. They both suck and are no longer first line players. The sooner we admit the sooner we realize what the next steps are. Please wake up. 
 

the only star players we have are Hughes, Miller and demko. Don’t fantasize about petey or Brock anymore. It’s over. We have to realize this and move on. 

 

You might be right about Pete

You are right about BB.
