Look at calgary gathering all our favorites and they are in the playoffs and their cap is lower than us. Taff, Marks, Tanv, Stetch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft a high skilled player, develop for a few years and insert into the lineup on a cheap deal during our window. Not draft a generational player, insert into the lineup and shorten your window 3 years later with a monster contract. Generational talent is a gift and a curse imo.. but f*** it if thats what it takes to win a cup and go on a drought for awhile..

48MPHSlapShot Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Sharpshooter said: Playing players huge minutes makes no sense. Miller, Hughes, Petey. Why is the organization allowing them to go HAM? They’re already signed. They’ve shown recently that they can win. I like that the Abby boys are getting so much time and opportunity. Why not continue that? Podz and Kravs are still 4th line minutes. Give them more. Bring up Hogz. Let him gel with potential linemates. Keep Demmer game restricted. He just came off an injury. Why play him so much, especially now? Get Silovs out there for the majority of the games. He’s got a ton of talent to be a legit backup. I dunno man, it doesn’t make sense to try a fight for a non-playoff spot and kill any chance of getting the best prospect that could add to the lineup in a couple/three years that adds more skill into the lineup when the team actually has a shot of making a play for the Finals(Conference or Cup). Just my take on it. You have to look at it from the player's perspective too. If I'm Petey, I know I'm chasing 100 points, and a 100 point season on my resume would probably go a long ways towards netting me more on my next contract. Now all of the sudden career AHL players are eating into my ice time, and not because it gives us the best chance to win, but because it gives us a better chance to lose. That doesn't sit well with me at all if I'm him. Not only is the game being purposely sabotaged, but my season and potentially my payday is as well. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate this guy, you know, when Sedins retired there was only one player left from the Boston final. but Boston still has 5 or 6 players I hate.

With the play of the team recently, plus recent acquisitions of players, plus a Coach that has an accountable and defensive structure, why wouldn’t Petey want to stay? Totally rhetorical question. I know you get it. Petey is going to get rewarded no matter if he gets to 100 or doesn’t. He’s the best player on the team and will be salaried accordingly. That’s not even an issue. 90 points or 110 points or something in between still means that Petey will have the highest salary and term. If you’re Petey and you know you’re going to get the best salary and term possible, then what are you worried about? Maybe the team around you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
