Myers is awful and is size in literal sense only.

Rough start, but certainly battled hard through the 2nd and 3rd but we’re always in the process of being suffocated by Carolina’s sticks and subtle holdings. Tuch shows us what a playoff player looks like; he was flying out there. Quinn looked good Dahlin and many other seemed to have issues with stick handling for unknown reasons.

2nd game in row where Sabres get interfered with but not one penalty called

So aggravating watching Carolina who just endlessly pressure.

It would also explain the common burst a team gets from AHL callups but they rarely last more than a couple games

You don't trade our 2023 1st, and "Östlund" + a lesser prospect in order to get a guy for about 100 games

Far too expensive to trade for a nigh rental player

It's a rather tight squeeze but would theoretically work https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3903178 Our lack of ELC Dmen makes it tougher

Well I set the cap at 87mil and we have no idea how that'll actually be. I don't want Kulich or Savoie playing on the 4th line Back up goalies shouldn't be ELCs. I want Levi in Rochester for at least 1 full year and possibly 2. I just don't think its feasible barring a cap jump into the 90's by the time Quinn and Peterka are up. I'll make another in the morning with some fiddling and see however if its still flexible with Meier

I'm unsure how you fit Meier into our long term cap https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3900973

I think you're jumping the gun a tad; I doubt any combination of acquisitions would make us a Cup Contender which is when you start using young assets.

Glass half full man, after those 3 losses they chained 5 wins in a row and an OTL.

I don't really have an issue with Shootouts to be honest I utterly despise ties

Well 7 out of 8 ain’t bad Hard to beat a team and the refs

They may feel he potentially could have a minor concussion and with only two games until 2/11; they may just be playing it safe.

Im also curious as to where the Eichel that plays against Toronto, Boston, Buffalo and a couple others is other nights. He’s an elite player when he plays 200ft and uses his size and speed to generate offense. But as we’ve seen and has been seen in Vegas he seems to never fully commit to playing 100% every game. Tuch will occasionally have an off day but 9 out of 10 games he’ll at least give you 110% effort and use his lesser skill and far more effectiveness.

Damn Hellebuyek giving us trouble again

I more or less in your camp I was fooling around with capfriendly in 2 years and we have a metric ton of players to sign or resign by then. I had Dahlin 8x10.5mil Cozens 8x8mil Power 8x9mil Quinn & Peterka are Pending RFA's at year's end Notable RFA's Mitts (does he earn another contract?) Krebs (what will he want?) UPL (What will his stats allow him to ask for and Is Levi ready for back up role or does he need 2 full AHL seasons?) Jost (Do we keep him at 2mil?) Jokiharju (Has he become a solid dman worthy of a new contract?) Notable UFA's Olofsson (will he be capable of pushing beyond his current state of being) Okposo (is he still hanging around?) Girgensons (easily could still be an effective 4th liner) Other Questions Ryan Johnson? Rousek? Kulich. Rosen, Savoie, Östlund.... who's ready if any? My shot in the dark Krebs 3 x 3.35mil UPL 3 x 4mil Jokiharju 3 x 4mil Mittelstadt 2 x 3mil Jost 2 x 2mil Rousek 2 x 1.575mil

In this case it’s true; they seem overly pass happy

Easy no, to be honest I don’t even think that would help us all that much. To me the 2023 1st is untouchable and I’m disinterested in trading Savoie. Chychrun won’t put up as much offense due to having no powerplay time and Crouse feels to much like a one hit wonder that is having a great year on a bad team akin to Girgensons looking great when he was force fed 1st line minutes early in his career.

Quinn looks like he always does in his first year in a league; flashes of greatness with intermittent errors. He needs to grow further into his body and get stronger but he is not afraid, he's just weaker presently. Tage is in his own head at the moment; teams are playing him tighter and he's trying to figure out how to adapt and has sort of gotten drawn into over stickhandling the puck. Okposo + Girgensons make their center play more straightforward and we can see how much better Krebs has looked thanks to their mentorship. Krebs probably will never be quite as insane as Marchand but he certainly has the dogged determination and even a sneaky edge to him. Nice goals Dahlin looked great as usual The Bush was a giving tree today GoOlofsson with 2 more Cozens with another nifty goal.

How does that fat bastard always score on us

Dear lord Bush

The Isles are playing the new 6 goalie lineup

The ceremony, then warm ups and then the game. My guess is that after RJ night went over it’s time that the NHL wasn’t exactly happy with the idea of having another situation akin to that arise.
