Coconuts Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 4 minutes ago, Baratheon said: They'd have to sink harder than some pretty bad teams though. I used to actively cheer for the teams I disliked to finish just outside the playoffs or be bounced in round 1. This is probably some kind of karma for me lol. We aren't gonna beat out Anaheim and Chicago but we can sink enough to draft top five imo Losing Horvat alone would be devastating to this team's ability to compete, if only from a possession standpoint because of how heavily we lean on him for faceoffs Trade him and we likely go into a tailspin I'd like to keep Bo but I don't believe he'll extend, thus he must be traded as he can't be allowed to walk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Hockey Gods want it to happen it will. We probably have the same chance at Bedard if we are last overall or 5th last really. It is all on luck and God. We need to make sure we are in the running though. If we trade BO and Luke that should help us with the stealth tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something aside from just picks/prospects will be coming back however. Tanking is difficult for the same reasons that making the playoffs is difficult. We have to make up points (except in reverse) on too many teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think stawns is a tool generally speaking, but asserting your analysis as fact makes you a tool also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Arizona's perspective, it was a miracle. From the Canucks' perspective, it was a complete disaster. From your perspective it was. From my perspective, I like it.

A guy referring to another guy as a tool while calling the guy he's talking to a tool makes him a tool. The guy pointing all this out is then also a tool. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
