a rapist defender is not as bad as a rapist, but hes still bad

there are many other coaches that exist and quenneville wont turn this team into a contender
it would send a terrible message to the league and would be a horrible look for a franchise that prides itself on integrity, playing the right way, etc
i guess if you ignore all the nazi homophobes that have played for us the past 2 seasons lol

If we still haven’t turned the ship around by the 40 game mark here’s what I would do.

Trade deadline:

Alex Lyon to the avalanche for a 2nd or a 3rd, making use of how desperate they are.

See if you can sell chiarot for literally anything, if not use that pick acquired from avalanche to cap dump him.

Offseason:

buyout one of holl or Gustafson just to get them off the roster. Run the other one as 7d.

Trade Michael Rasmussen, Albert Johansson and our own 2nd to Boston for Brandon Carlo.

Trade Andrew copp and a 4th for Jacob trouba 25% retained (or something along these lines).


don’t re-sign kane, or petry.

You do these moves then run rookies like ASP with Carlo or wallinder with Carlo or our 7d in the other defenseman spots and losing Rasmussen and copp gives us spots for rookies or to maybe get someone decent for short term in free agency. I feel like this really would transform our team. Granted it’s a ton of moves but a LOT of moves need to be made.

Heard Minnesota are the front runners for David jiricek .... no idea how that's possible cant see them moving on from buium or some recent 1sts they drafted

Doubt this happens but also heard k'andre miller might be available... if that's the case I'd say we have to jump hard on him. Hes about to turn 25 so can be here longterm 6'5 body that would solidify our top 4 for a very long time

Edvinsson seider
Miller pellikka

Or

Miller seider
Edvinsson pellikka

Doubt rangers move him but I'd be all over it if hes about to get moved

This season is looking like a wash. I don't think we'll get a hot streak with the total lack of firepower on the team.

Tarasenko and Copp traded at 50% retention each. Patrick Kane gone. Trade Gus for future considerations or buy him out. Trade Veleno for something.

Try to get Trouba to waive and join Detroit. If not, make a move for Ekblad. Shea Theodore is also a great option.

Sign Boeser or Ehlers. Maybe a guy like Vatrano for the 3rd line to boost scoring lower in the lineup.

Kakko is being shopped again apparently

Veleno + the 3rd in the maata deal ... not thinking kakko will be a star but he did get 18 goals 40 pts when he started off ... I'd take 20+20 and I'm so over veleno

get it done

The sad comedy is Veleno is still in the NHL while Zadina is…..

But yeah - at this point I’d trade Veleno for Rempe for the entertainment value.

Fabbro has been good for jackets so far, small size but stings a little.

Seems like buying chumps in free agency is not as good as just getting the Fabbro, Liljegrens of the world.

zadina is 2nd in scoring in Davos impregnating all the swiss girls ... hes got the last laugh
He'll never make up the money he lost leaving Detroit, but he's still doing well. 4.56 million forfeited, 1.1 made back from the Sharks. 3.46 million left on the table after having a guaranteed signed contract. lol. He'll have to play 8-10 years in Switzerland to make that type of money back. Still... good life, very good life still.

Maybe no future for him in financial planning....

Yeah, he'll be fine. Even leaving multi millions on the table, literally, he's still a millionaire playing hockey in Switzerland making six figures sleeping at home almost EVERY night if he wants to.

How terrible... lol. If you're bad at hockey like me, you go back to the farm or sell insurance... I choose the farm; I'd easily give it up to have had a 10-year career in Switzerland (or SHL/KHL/DEL)

K'Andre Miller is a guy you target and go after if the NYR are actually serious about letting him go.
