Nice analogy. Pegula is not serving a Breakfast of Champions to a starving fan base, that’s for sure.

2002 birth year like Peterka. 24 goals, 47 points in his first full NHL season. Went one pick ahead of Isak Rosen in the 2021 draft.

Woohoo. Team GB gains promotion into the top group. See y’all next year before we get double digits goals against and are immediately relegated haha.

Just draft him where you are.

First instinct usually the most accurate, ya know? how apparent was it, very early on, that Adams was tying his entire plan to Levi? He lined him up at starter like, what, 3 years ago? Lmao. He isn’t even a starter, YET! His plan was always a Hail Mary on a small goalie

This is what I believe as well. They might sign a mediocre D man in free agency like a Gryzelcyk or Ceci or some free agent they can overpay or nobody really wants and maybe even a fourth liner but basically just run it back and bet on Levi . and then Dahlin will want out.

Avalanche-Stars. Quarterfinal Game 7 on a Saturday evening and not a school night. Nicely done, NHL. Nicely done.

Then the emperor has already won..

Perhaps the willingness to continue discussing it at all if no management changes are made

Not this year. I've basically completed the entirety of my Lego Star Wars galaxy. The only thing they'll get me to purchase at this point would be a Gold-5 "Pops" minifig scale Y-wing to complete my Gold Squadron. And maybe a Nebulon B re-release.

I’m tired of this thread.

If there is a change at GM, please for the honor of all that is right in sports, let them choose their own coach (if the organizational hierarchy is owner -> GM -> coach). Don't pull a Bears (or repeat this last season's mistake). The GM gets to choose their coach, the coach gets to choose their entire staff. Everyone re-interviews and justifies their existence. None of this holdover garbage.

It is what it is. Management does not seen to care about winning. Now I just watch to watch as that's what I do. They win they lose I don't care, I just watch.

Drop back into the teens for Martin and pick up a player that helps now for the drop. Martin gives me Peca vibes

Is Karmanos different than Adams? Will he be allowed to show that? It's the open question in regards to this supposed change, and only time will tell. One would hope he's not taking the job just for the money and the security, knowing full well it's just a facade an he's still just the associate GM, but there's every chance he might be. The ironic thing is that Karmanos is far more qualified to be a GM than Adams ever was. He's been a senior hockey exec (mostly as an assistant GM) for 26 yearsand is only 50 years old. Stanley Cups with Carolina and Pittsburgh. You see that as resiliency? I just see it as a reading into what's been done and said over the past year-ish. I mean I didn't say they would make good moves, only that they would make moves. 😁

Not even close 😭

We have to take it because we know that they know that we know it’s demotion by promotion we can’t get a better admittance than that from this buffoon I’ll take those scraps

Actually I removed the thumbs down. I don’t need to give you one because I am jealous of your resiliency that would be wrong and spiteful Young fool. only now, at the end, do you understand

IMHO - what is hard to assume is Karmanos having any true authority to make decisions. Let’s pretend that he prefers a heavy and more physical hockey team, especially on defense. Will TP and POHO Howdy Doody actually allow him to execute a trade that moves Byram or Power in exchange for a grizzly defender? I strongly have my doubts, hence none of any possible change will amount to a hill of beans. It’s all a big nothing burger.

That would be culture changing!

I’m not afraid to say this team gets 10 more points playing exactly the same way with good (not great, good) goaltending. It’s the problem from the season that just past that hasn’t got enough attention.

Oh me too. Some risk in that one from Buffalo's perspective, but so much reward. I have no idea if the Bruin/Swayman relationship is beyond repair, but it certainly is in rough shape.

Would hope both would. Expecting Swayman will bounce back.

UPL was the NHL’s 5th worst goalie in terms of goals above expected this year. Jeremy Swayman was the 2nd worst. Swayman certainly has a far more onerous contract, and almost certainly has far more talent. Would either team make that trade?
