Does not matter. It needed to be THE goal. And if you enter into a season as the youngest team in hockey with a bottom 10 pay roll, it cannot be, in good faith, your priority You can call it “missed warning signs” all you want but not everyone missed them I did not miss them

Kevyn Adams is an unimaginative loser who espouses a losing excuse filled narrative to explain his incompetence and complacency.

India themselves claiming Trump had NO PART in the ceasefire, saying he is a liar.

No, his being BAD at his job doesn't change that the timeline WAS Dahlin. He fully bought into the 91 point team taking a step forward. He thought they were better than they were. But that IS the Dahlin timeline. Playoffs was a goal in '23-'24. He flat out NEVER would say that publicly prior to that. It was always building a team in house that would eventually continuously / annually be a contender for the SC. And personally, REALLY wanted to believe it was possible. And, in hindsight, ignored huge warning signs that summer like wasting the preseson on figuring what callup would be the replacement on the top line should injuries strike rather than heading into October desperate to get wins before everybody else settled in to what they were. Or not doing anything at all to replace Quinn's anticipated production when they knew he wouldn't be available for a couple of months.

Not a big moment here but a big moment elsewhere. Great thing for Tage

I have Zero percent faith that this organization as constructed head to toe will find any success moving forward. Why Pegula has trust in this group is beyond me. They desperately need an outside, seasoned voices in positions of power.

The team needs to have 2 legit NHL goalies in the fold this fall not named Levi if UPL is still on the roster come October with one of them having enough of a pedigree that he COULD be a legit #1 (and ideally at least 1 of them would be expected to be better than Reimer in a starting role); or they need to have a true legit #1 (think Demko) with UPL or Levi pencilled in as the backup. They CAN NOT roll into the season with UPL and Levi as the 2 goalies. And personally still believe in Levi; but he needs to earn whatever he gets this year. Almost positive he can still be sent down without clearing waivers. That should be where he's pencilled in and if he forces their hand into something different; well that's a good thing. Also, personally expect that Kulich will make the roster out of the gate this season; but would really like to see 2 more F's brought it to put him in the position of needing to beat a legit NHLer out in camp to not have to start the year in Ra-cha-cha. It was an indictment of the team assembly that a rookie was the #1 C for large stretches.

Florida heat is the worst. Players are fortunate enough to get out before the worst of it, but I'd take a winter in any NHL city (except maybe Winnipeg) over a summer in Florida. Anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line is too much to be honest. If I could live anywhere in North America, give me the Adirondacks. A real winter with snowboarding and ice fishing, all the lakes in the summer, and endless hiking in the fall. I just wouldn't leave the house during the Mother's Day to late-June bug season.

No, he SHOULD have been on the Dahlin timeline - that was the no brainer that he hasn’t properly addressed the team during this 5 years proves he didn’t believe himself to be A huge portion of his “mistakes” is lack of action The lack of prioritizing winning. The lack of a timeline that includes winning in the now we still doing this ?

No, he was on the Dahlin timeline. That he hasn't come close to elevating the team now that Dahlin's time is NOW doesn't change that. And, yes, mistakes he made are what pushed the team's timeline out beyond Dahlin's. And, yes, he really should have been relieved of his GM duties as soon as the last player was done autographing "the shirt off his back."

It's not a mistake. They tried. They just are not able to punish them.

Absolutely not. The bias of the league will be on full display, too. Double the penalties for Florida each game will be the norm.

Nah he had us on the Levi timeline you are just listing out the components of the roster. Like ya man I know. I don’t need to hear about how the “plan” was to “supplement the roster with picks” ya man my plan is to supplement my material intake with pooping DUDE. it’s year 6. Everyone understands the elementary level mechanics always in operation on all teams - - - we were on the levi timeline Levi isn’t an NHLer and he was LINED UP TO START 3 season ago. Think about this. we were sold Levi. Most bought Levi don’t feel so seen just because you purchased so much of the stock it was an asinine plan by Adams

The big 5 teams are all in the same situation. It actually gives the smaller hockey countries an advantage. Why should it come with an asterisk?

A mix of good and bad. A disappointing way to go out.

Why not

Adams had us on the Tage/Tuch/Cozens/Quinn/Peterka/Krebs/Dahlin/Power/Samuelsson/Luukkonen timeline which he expected to start last year and this year. It was supposed to be augmented by Levi and all those picks from 21-23 to keep us contending over the next decade. He's went maybe 4 for 10 on his first wave and hasn't shown much yet on the second. He misjudged or mis-developed the talent and is now scrambling to re-set.

Not Kulich and Levi.

Maybe he can hire Rod the Bod if he gets fired😁. (Which I don’t think he will be)

I thought you were asking if they were hurt and out.

Which only proves that the usefulness of stats is limited. They have cap space because they are cheap and the big name players didn't sign there. They are like the Leafs in the sense that they have hit a wall. Their plan can only get you so far and it cannot get you over that hump unless you are extremely lucky. I don't want to try to be them. I want to be Florida.

I didn't say he was doing a good job at it, just that that seemed to be his desire to copy that franchise.

Complete and utter disappearance

Wear your mouthguard just one time, you wanker

It is what it is. They had a good season. They won a round. Young players got some playoff experience. Every player needs to stay there next year.
