Is this franchise cursed?

Is this franchise cursed?

Not sure it is a curse as much as it actively works against its own better interests too often.

Is this franchise cursed?

No but it sure is f***ing dumb and slow to correct its mistakes…hell so far they aren’t even f***ing admitting that its making mistakes it needs to correct

 

[Viqsi]

Glass had one as well.

And Olivier put up two, and Fabbro had a goal and an assist and lead the Jackets in TOI this evening. Big night for ex-Preds.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Glass had one as well.

And how is Hinostroza doing?

4 goals in fewer games with the Wild. (He has 0 with the Preds.)

Hmm…. Idk it really feels like there might be a coaching issue.

Could be, could be...

Tolvanen with his 20th goal last night.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Tolvanen with his 20th goal last night.

At least Poile freely admitted he made a mistake after Tolvanen was claimed.

Yep a perfectly adequate middle of the lineup player that can pitch in 20 or so goals a season. Would've been good on our 3rd line instead of much of the rotating cast like Jankowski.

[wmupreds]

Tolvy is 35th in the league in G/60. Tied with Auston Matthews. Lol

 

[Armourboy]

Poile's last blunder there.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Poile's last blunder there.

And his blunder was thinking that Tolvanen would clear not that he didn't "like" Tolvanen and just wanted to give him away.

Is this franchise cursed?

I think it's the Matt Duchene curse, personally. I didn't "love" nor "hate" him as a person but he was dialed into the Predator organization and loved the city. That was a really bad move.

Two options ... waive Tolvanen or put Boro on LTIR. For some reason Poile kept Boro on regular IR tried to sneak through the guy with prolonged struggles as a Pred. Based on who has scored 20+ since Tolvanen's waiver claim I have no belief he would have stepped up to that level of performance if still here. The move worked out for him.

True. We gave up on him in more than one way. He just was never going to be cemented into the lineup and see consistent ice time with a consistent set of linemates here. The Preds just can't help themselves from bouncing younger players up and down and in and out of the lineup. It's self sabotage.

This seems to happen repeatedly.

He sucked in his last 98 games as a Pred. The reality is he was a streaky player and Preds fans use his short hot streak as a basis while it skews things. He never had a 20 goal in 60-80 game span as a Pred. Keeping him required Boro to LTIR .. and with that he wasn't on a glidepath to a 20+ goal scorer. His departure opened the spot for Novak who did well in his first year and a half of full time play.

90 points... still possible.

He's having a high shooting % season again. Would have been a nice player to still have, I don't think it was some grave loss though. All teams will usually find players like this and many will also have ones they let go and do better elsewhere.

I mean it's not that any one of these guys alone were a "grave loss" but each one of the moves that are regularly brought up made the team inarguably older and, probably, incrementally worse. That stuff adds up.

Tomasino 1+1 last night and first star
Glass also had a goal and has 4P in 4G for the Devils so far. That move was harder to be upset about, but I'm happy for him if he can make it work there.

Fabbro for free.... worst ever....Jankowski may becom Rich Peverly 2 before it's over lol. PPG shooting 1000%

 

[Scoresberg]

So, we’re truly at the point where we can’t even pick the right 4th LINERS. Olivier, Sherwood and now Jankowski…
