2nd liner who wants 1st line minutes before next contract? It seems player driven not team driven

Calgary and Winnipeg got their mentions lol Calgary and Winnipeg got their mentions lol

I do think another center to relieve Thompson is worthwhile. I thought Thompson made for a better winger

I rationalize moving on from Skinner because he’s in the way of others in the top6 and too much baggage to keep in that case. So that also jives with not needing NecaS

lol he is fighting major injury. McDavid any day

Ahh thanks I see the resemblance thet being said, I don’t think it’s the skill set that is why Skinner is finding his way out. It’s his attitude. Lindy loves his role players and a fast offense only guy with the right attitude I think he’d use properly He coached Afinigenov all those years. Granted, that relationship probably took some years off of his own life going by the rumors lol

I’m not thrilled Okposo won but not annoyed. Kane winning would’ve annoyed me. He doesn’t deserve the success

Can someone share analytics on Necas. I did t realize opinions on him had soured

The Skinner acquisition was great. The Skinner UFA deal was the travesty. Again, if he is a minor player in a strong room he is a valuable asset. But he isn’t a leader in the locker room and not a fit for the team. I also agree, we have cheaper players who fill his role who have grown up.

Good programs get good bridges. Can’t imagine they’re able to keep him after that though

Haha Canada bittersweet watching all those Sabres get a ring. Coaching really has been our main issue

We trade away ROR he gets a cup. Trade away Eichel and he gets a cup. Trade away Reinhart and he gets a cup Skinner, where do you want to get a cup?

How do I make a garbage plate out of state that compares? pATY

I disliked Crosby. McDavid is just a charm though. Might have to do with the conference they play in. Watching highlight reels of McDavid he’s beating up on teams I rarely see

If you have a guy the whole team likes on a personal level who doesn’t ever buy into coaches systems and does his own thing, as coach with a spine is absolutely going to jettison him first chance.

This year or next isn’t that big of a difference. I can believe he’s gone Glad Lindy is leading the room

I still think we won the Reinhart trade but I doubt Florida even remotely regrets any part of it.

I’d give him one year with Girgensons before writing him off.

Amateur scouting hasn’t been our issues. It’s been professional scouting.

the caps

I could see us trading Levi. Not that I agree with it, but I can see it. Tho Levi + 11 for tkachuk is as high as I’d want to see that go.

New OC, new looks. All our offense has to do is be serviceable

Lindy has spent his career just dealing with the cards he was dealt. I can imagine he joined with the idea of telling Adam’s how to construct the roster. a ‘splash’ is absolutely in play. we need to figure out what to do with Joki and the excess forward depth and our hole is bottom 6 so ‘splash’ is definitely going to be to overpay for character. And I’m okay with that i used to think I understood the market, but teams are all cap strapped that the market is so weird now. I think this actually an advantage since we’re just looking to overpay the type of players whose salary is depressing in this market I hope at the end of the day we keep Quinn. Power is a nice to keep, but I won’t be super pissed if he’s gone at least. Savoie and 11OA should be on the table.

Quinn would be more productive but Tkachuk a better teammate. I’m not sure I’d trade them 1:1, but I can understand the appeal. I wouldn’t add a kings ransom ontop of Quinn to make it happen tho

Was Keefe even on the market for six days?!?!?
