Are team's going to try to copy Florida's style?

nice fanfic, in reality it's the no taxes/weather/no fan expectations

Now that you’re physical West has been debunked, you go on to attacking the fan base, taxes, and the weather? At this point, you’re not just moving the goalposts, you’re relocating the entire stadium. This isn’t a debate anymore, it’s a game of hide and seek with the truth. Pathetic.

Any team coulda acquired Bennett but they chose not to. All it took was a 2nd round pick and Heineman to get Bennett and a 6th.

Bennett was only 24 years old at the time

don't be strawmanning, lower pressure in non-traditional markets is a fact

it's also pure cope to think that low taxes/good weather/lower pressure isn't a major factor. keep it up!

 

[pb1300]

LOL it's clear you don't watch any games outside of your own team's.

Yeah, that’s all you got as a rebuttal. Oh that, and the fan insults, and the weather

as I said, you clearly don't watch any games, so you have no idea what you're even speaking of

Maurice doesn't get enough credit. He is an excellent head coach.

I’d prefer a team with no taxes/weather/no fan expectations any day. Be stupidly rich and be able to walk around the city and only hockey crazed visitors only recognize me.

I would as well. Huge factor that makes Zito's life 1000x easier.

You’ve hit every lame excuse so far but missed Bettman and the refs. You need to up your game!

so you think they have 0 impact?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

It’s not easy to do

Copying depth and skill is difficult

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

It's not hard when you're playing on a team with low taxes, nice weather, and can give players more money than a high-tax city.

Also, Florida took in Reinhart and Bennett when he looked like a below-decent player but turned out Calgary just didn't use him right where he turned into one of the most effective players in the league. So getting good players at a good cost really helped them where they are today. I wonder how different they'd be if they didn't trade for Giroux and Chiarot.

 

[BeranekAndNeck]

Repeatedly belting the best players on the other team in the head without consequence is not a strategy anyone else can really emulate unless Campbell has another child they can hire.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

The Leafs had their era of truculence.
The problem they ran into was that it's not enough to be cheapshot artists. One also needs the drive and heart of a champion.

Three straight Stanley Cup finals. I would think teams will start to try to copy Floridas style as it's clearly successful in the playoffs. What do you think?

Vancouver Canucks probably gonna try to copy their style. Style do you mean the way the team is built or the playing system the Florda uses? most teams are already like that, though in the NHL today.

But yea, Vancouver Canucks probably will attempt to try to build the team the way Florida has.

 

[MoneyManny]

Yeah if it's warm, sunny and people pay no taxes.

 

[Dust]

Hiring Gregory Campbell isn't a style that everyone can copy.

I had no idea he was with the Panthers, it all makes sense now.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Yes I think all teams will try to be really good

[lawrence]

absolutely insane that Paul Maurice starting coaching when he was 28? holy shit. Also the only active coach that's coached when Jagr and Lemiuex were in their prime.

 

[HabzSauce]

I genuinely hope so

There will definitely be a premium on line stepping players as long as the NHL is continuing in the direction of calling fewer penalties.

Why wouldn't you acquire a dirty player when the NHL isn't interested in enforcing it's own rules?

A line crosser is a great asset when penalties aren't enforced.

Repeatedly repeating this doesn’t make it true.

Repeatedly repeating this doesn’t make it true.

Seems true though, It’s a farce. Bennett is a professional “oops i fell over” and hit your head/took you out of a game by accident player. The Campbell nonsense is same shit Boston dealt with in the 2010’s. Even the optics of a conflict of interest should be enough to ask questions. The league is inviting this. The son of the VP of hockey operations in the NHL being an assistant GM raises questions, legitimate or not, it’s a conflict of interest.
