[Todd1a]

Trade Point, Kucherov, Cirelli, Cernak, and Sergachev. Let Stamkos walk

That outta turn things around.

He can’t till after next season no 2025 draft pick in round 1

 

[Summer Rose]

Well, it has been a pleasure.

 

[Antiramie]

Kuch with more effort breaking that stick than the whole series.

Nah that's not necessary. Let's see what happens with actual cap space for once and if our coaching staff can run a playbook not from 2020

 

[JTBF81]

Cirelli and Cernak likely going nowhere unless JBB gets a top 4 dman for Cirelli. The defense needs a new scheme and some better players. Team ran into a tough matchup and a few big names struggled. Team had 73 points in final 57 games with Vasy and many without Serg. The offense is still capable, and there will be space for a depth add or two without losing key players ljke Cirelli(if for futures). Tough way to end the season, but definitely not time.for some blow it up rebuild.

Maximize that cap space and move sheary and jeannot

 

[These Are The Days]

Well, it has been a pleasure.

Been a pleasure shit posting with you

 

[Outl4w]

It was a great run until it wasn't. Thank you to the core cup players for everything. I am not thankful for the Jeannot trade and JBB's offseason giving Jeannot a raise, Sheary signing, Dehann Signing, Fleury Signing, and Dumba trade.

 

[Point21]

of course Mikkola gets one

 

[Rschmitz]

He can’t till after next season no 2025 draft pick in round 1

Tank badly enough and our top 10 protections kick in

 

[Antiramie]

Coop can shove his Mensa-brain goalie pulls up his asshole.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Aggressive retool needed. Don't need to trade f***ing everyone but need some relatively big names traded and coaches fired. And BriseBois needs to be fired too, this shit is over with

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I want to see it all burn to the ground. But its not going to. Any hole we plug, we are going to open another hole. That's the way its going to be for at least another 2 years.

 

[Stammertime91]

This was a series to expose dead weight.

All of Sheary, Watson, Dumba, Duclair, Perbix, Jeannot can all move on.

 

[gn2007]

Cirelli is good on PK he just unlucky with getting goals taken away.

I'd say stammer stays, duclair, dumba, can go walk. Who knows if we call up or do a surprise trade. Hagel contract looks good.

Vinik isn’t gonna fire JBB or cooper assistants sure probably

Hello, darkness, my old friend.

Cernak will be traded

 

[Felonious Python]

It's an impossible question to answer. We did very little differently and we seldom tried anything else. We only did 1 thing all season. Every game. Every shift. Close to no adjustments minus switching up lines. Next year let's try attacking with more than 1 guy high on the forecheck against 3 and 4 Panther defenders while the rest of our team hangs back. Let's not run a static penalty kill and static PP. We're so worried about defending all the time that we suck at it. We're a possession club that says "make dem come us us. Dey play r game" like it's Guy Boucher with a 3-1-1

I remember all of a few periods of us emptying the tank and Coop letting the boys loose.

I'm not really sure who in the NHL plays a 2-1-2 forecheck regularly. Given that we're playing against the best defensemen in the world, I think it'd result in odd man rushes against us.

1-1-3, and the focus on neutral zone defense is part of puck management and limiting risk.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

This feeling always sucks. When many thought we were dead mid season, we worked so hard to over come adversity and still make the playoffs. Happy what we were able to do there, but this still feels like a let down. The standard should always be high here. The expectations should be high. Great franchises only aim for cups. But nothing like a terrible loss to help put those past 3 Cup wins into perspective.

Once again we share in some misery, but hopefully there are some brighter runs ahead for us.

 

[Todd1a]

Stamkos I think is out of here why stay on a bad team ?

 

[Brie]

Sad, I mean the regular season wasn't great and if it wasn't for Kuch we wouldn't even be in the playoffs at all but the team still didn't look good and struggle. The team just isn't working right now, it just doesn't fit. Let's see what they will do during the off season.

IOne place that always does work is this board and it's always fun to be here to talk to/complain with all of you.

Family and love to make fun of Canadian media lol

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Stamkos I think is out of here why stay on a bad team ?

Actually good point. Unless he's more content with Tampa since he has his Cups and maybe his family would prefer to stay in Florida

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Well, it has been a pleasure.

You're always welcome here. Thanks for all the food
