They are very much still in the hunt. Minny and Calgary will be fighting tooth and nail for the last playoff spot. Calgary missing the playoffs would be a massive fail, but they would be right back to going all in next year with an even older roster. So many of their key guys are already 30 or about to turn 30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's next? In the East: Pittsburgh, Washington, and Carolina. In the West: Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, and Nashville. Pittsburgh and Washington each have one or two more years to go for it, and might feel obliged to give Ovi and Sid one more real shot at a cup. Carolina has been knocking on the door for so so long. Wouldn't shock me to see them try and make a big splash so they can compete with Boston. Winnipeg much like Carolina had previously been close to breaking through but never went for it. While we always see teams that regret making big moves and mortgaging their future for a playoff push (see Florida), I think that Winnipeg is one of the rare teams that would have regrets over not going for it when they had a chance. Edmonton has a lot of their picks left and are in the win-now mode. Calgary and Nashville have a lot of their picks and have rosters that are ageing rapidly. Nashville making a splash would be predicated on them winning 5 out of next 6 games and going into March 1st within striking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poile was just on the radio saying that they won't be buyers - says their team is far too inconsistent for them to spend. They are also in a re-tool to get younger. He actually announced that they could well be sellers if they don't improve their standings over the next few games. They just lost 5-0 at home to Boston in pitiful way. Carolina is a straight line heavy checking team that relies on speed and work ethic to get to the puck 1st. Could have seen Horvat but can't really see any of the others being a real fit. With Nashville potentially selling, got to wonder if they might not look to bring back Niederreiter. They don't like giving term to players in their late 20s but he only signed a 2 year deal in Nashville. Edited February 17 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually surprised Arizona caught up. The Sharks weren’t even that bad. The refs were jobbing them all night. Powerplays ended up being 7-1. If the Sharks can continue to get that kind of goaltending and hang with the best team in the division they’ll get some wins down the stretch. The other three on the other hand will be tough to catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's their leading scorer after Karlsson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have seen Horvat but can't really see any of the others being a real fit. I think you meant to say sellers, and yeah I get that about Nashville. They get to play Florida, Minny, Vancouver, Arizona, Sharks, and Penguins to close out February. 2 games in hand, 5 points to make up on Minny... 3 games in hand, 5 points to leapfrog Calgary. I just wonder if a win against Minny, followed by some easy games against bottom feeders won't have them sitting in 8th spot when the trade deadline comes. I wonder how they feel about their decision to re-sign Forsberg to the 8 year x 8.5 million contract. Really feels similar to the decision we made with JT Miller although Forsberg was a pending UFA whereas we had one extra year to make our decision. Anyways thanks for sharing David Poile's view on the situation. It's probably the prudent way to go about it, although they have so many older guys on the team. I don't think that their situation will improve as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
