I don't think people want to discuss what next year's team look like, but it's interesting to project.

I brought that up early this week. Well more just the defense.

Been reported by Friedman and those other clowns

Only things I've heard officially are that Ehlers wouldn't sign an extension, but would waive his NMC, and Necas refused to sign outright. Is there more than that? Because there's hundreds of top6/top4 players to choose from. Not all are available obviously, but the options are plentiful. I guess having two or three guys say no each offseason doesn't absolve him, to me.

D is kind of boring. We know 5/6. If Johnson isn't the 6th, they probably make a move.

they have to sign byram and agree to not trade clifton for 5 of the 6 to be set

if they trade clifton and extend joker for 3 more years will people jump off of the peace bridge?


side note I thought clifton and joker were both decent the last half of the season unlike power

That's really 2 years out, little different angle there. I bet Quinn's agent loved the Guenther deal. If they feel like they can't fit them all and make a move, maybe that opens a real spot.

but that's different

just like von miller signing with a small market


the franchise stinks under pegula and his penny pinching tactics with this franchise and that is why we have the 13 years without a playoff series and why he has never won a playoff series

They have the rights to all 5 and aren't adept at making trades. Can call that set in Sabreland.

The Power hate isn't rational.

Im tired of adams constantly evolving reasons for failing to make any type of an impact trade

Before the draft he was open about his desire to trade the 1st round pick and land a top 6 forward. Predictably, when he didn't do any of it he was over the top about how hard he tried and was in on every scenario imaginable when asked in the presser

Adams sucks. Needs lindy to bail him out and even if they turn out to be good I do not trust that he can make a move at or near the deadline that propels them to the next level

Nashville got Stammer, Marchy and Skjei
Columbus got Monahan
New Jersey got Pesce
Sharks got Toffoli
Seattle got Montour and Stephenson
Washington got Roy

Outside Stammer, none are super high end, but I think star quality for most. I think Homie has a valid point here. From Johnny Gaudreau to Scott Stevens, big names have signed for small market teams in the past.

Que?

Stevens played for the Caps, Blues, and Devils, none of those are small cities

for a first overall pick, he is meh, not a difference maker IMO

maybe playing him and dahlin together full time would make him look better

perhaps

The drop pass to start the PP rush needs to stop.

Its league wide not just us. I do agree with you though. Its not a bad play and is a good concept but its just predictable now. And If you aren't McDavid you arent breaking through all 4 defenders.

None of those are large market teams IMO. I guess it's how you define it. To me teams the large market teams are the original 6 and a handful of others, New Jersey not being one of them. At most they're middle of the road. Additionally, the Devils weren't some powerhouse the previous season.

I don't believe we were.

I think we were like 6pts out in the middle of March. There was a date where were in the same place as the year before I cant remember exactly which date it was but was pretty ironic given the outrage.

edit: ahh you changed it to april
