Me as signed a deal straight to UFA. He wanted the market it isn’t personal

Bensen wasn’t their target, just next up on their list Our fourth line is making Lindy happy. They’re going to get second line minutes

It’s reportedly a whole new offense out there. One that Allen shouldn’t be asked to be a hero in. A lot to be optimistic about up front

I agree. But we would’ve been swept and more distraught than missing it

Not with Granato. Glad we got lindyLindy

Adam’s was patient and now we’re in a good situation because of it. If he freaked out a couple years ago we’d be in a bind right now

ROR can only blame himself for the captain thing

Good deal. Not too high if he’s a 1B. Not a toxic two year problem we’re forced to deal with soon either

This would hurt. May be close. More I read on Wahlberg the less I’d want to lose him Adams won’t get pick protection

The ‘4th’ line will get 2nd most minutes matching up against top lines. we have enough scoring elsewhere in the line up that this will work out okay

Carlo for Johnson? I’m actually really high on Johnson and think it’s bad cap management. Though I assume I’m in the minority

He didn’t want to tank?

Targeting an attribute is a little different than moneyballing one. The latter is about finding guys for dirt cheap and paying them dirt cheap because the stat isn’t universally recognized. These weren’t all cheap

Overpaying for guys you really want to target is okay. Far better than moneyballing some stupid stat or assuming all 4th liners are equivalent so choose the cheapest one. We just all have PTSD from Murray overpaying a decades worth of capital within a season for a whole bunch of duds and not a thought to cultural fit.

If we rehire Ruff and break the curse

To OP: no. We can add but trading them is silly.

What exactly is the allure of Trouba? It’s a lot of problems

Weren’t most our losses in goals due to the atrocious pp?

100 ptn team. Y’all underestimating coaching

Cozens was still fighting his concussion and isn’t the player that is going to succeed in a ‘figure it out yourself’ system Granato had for him

Imagine if our PP wasn’t a tire fire anymore McLeod doesn’t have a history on the PP at all either, which suppresses his numbers some

It’s all the new guys. Telling in more ways that one

Takes me as super low effort and all he did was look at goal changes and asked where’s the new forwards? Instead of realizing the drop in goals came from the same players and it was a utter coaching failure at fault

Trading away Clifton would be interesting. I could never trust his play. Would require Joki sticks it through though good to know we know the player well

The Eichel similarity runs deeper
