they're trying to make the playoffs. I think they willI never got the infatuation with this guy. He's already won Cups and when he first got to the mild, the coach started him in the playoffs instead of the other guy who was playing great and they ended up losing the series. He just hasn't been a great goalie for a while now.
Good for you guerin. You keep an asset that you could get something decent for only to just miss the playoffs. That's how you manage a team !

Someone needs to hack MacFarland's spotify account and start playing Pink Floyd's Time, Steve Miller Band's Time Keeps on Slipping, and make sure you delete Styx Too Much Time on My Hands.

Sure as hell wouldn't sit on 2C problem for 2+ years, during a supposed Cup window.

Walker still gets a 1st I think as IMO he's above Tanev... But maybe not? Maybe something like a 2nd + 3rd would get it done.
Seeler should only be like a 3rd, maybe 3rd + late pick for retention sort of thing.

Seeler is only making 775k
Walker has a cap hit of 2.65m

He's been far better than Makar this year. I don't think it can really be argued. I think Makar is on a different level when he's playing well. Much like McDavid vs. Mack. McDavid is better, but Mack has definitely deserved the top player of the year recognition a couple of times.

Right.
Their management saw them lose again, quite handily, to the Avs last night and decided to acquire the best RHD available on the market.
Whether we believe this moves the needle for them is irrelevant, the intent is what matters. They aren’t sitting on their hands, they are actively trying to close the gap and get better.
I admire teams that do this.
Correct, but you can't continue to sit after failed attempt. We are not in rebuild mode, time is not our friend here. Got to be proactive and keep trying until it's fixed.

Ok?
Don't really see how thats relevant. Walker is the significantly better player.

MacF is just listening to Styx’s “The Best of Times” on loop watching blurays of our Cup win.

He’s actually in a stasis pod to keep him fresh for his next waking day, Trade Deadline Day.

Those are lyrics in Fly Like an Eagle.
Again, I can't help but wonder if MacFarland's inactivity is reflective of their strategy. We have several elite players, get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

He has just over a week to do something. Hopefully he does.

Quinn Hughes is better always has been and Cale Makar is slowly realizing it and its hurting his game. Its also hurting him physically. Deep down Cale knows hes been fooling everyone and Quinn is the actual best dman in hockey.

Excuse you sir. The best dman in hockey is Zadorov, it’s just that you’ve got to give him some time to develop…he is still young
For starters, Zadorov is a Center.

Dallas was also on the second game of a B2B and if you watch the game they were better than the Avs the first 40. They ran out of gas and Georgiev didnt fourgiev.
