Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

[bicboi64]

Bownman, Coach Q and MacIsaac being eligible to seek employment at all is such BS.

Like they've got a cup ring already, why do they deserve the privilege to make a career in the NHL again?

Sanderson with zero Norris votes. This may be the last time in the next decade or so that will be the case.

I hope Sennecke has a dope career just so more of these t-shirts sell

 

[Senovision]

Connor Brown at $1 million is a steal!

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Connor Brown at $1 million is a steal!

That was obviously a pay back for the carry over bonus.

That team f***ing cleaned up at forward. Skinner 3 mil. Henrique 3 mil. Janmark 1.4. Perry 1.4. Arvidsson 4 mil. Brown at the 1 mil. And they'll get Holloway super cheap because he's a green rookie with no arb rights.

 

[OmniSens]

Detroit is looking pretty stacked, now. tough not to see them finish ahead of us again next season.

FYI. It's 2024, not 2019.

Meh. I'll stack our team against theirs any day of the week.

so as not to make martyrs out of them.

permanently suspend them, and you violate the old; "everyone deserves a second chance".

Re-instate and hope that one one hires them. Now you satisfy all things.

Coach Q is 65, that alone probably does his chances in.
Bowman was getting a bad reputation in Chicago anyway (Hockey moves wise). There is no guarantee of another shot. Remember, he inherited that team. It was built by his predecessor (Talon).
MacIsaac is a POHO type. Those jobs are unique and generally go to close associates of owners. No guarantee he resurfaces unless he is damn good friends with some owner.

Now add in public opinion. Add in the Mike Babcock fiasco. And, I have some doubts they resurface.

Bettman is no dummy. And, you cannot be sure he did not make 32 phone calls, suggesting to teams to stay away.

Their defense and goaltending are putrid. Tarasenko was on the 3rd line for us last season, and is expected to play in their top six.

I'm not seeing it. I also find Edvinsson to be really overrated, so I don't see him being the solution to their defensive woes, at least this year.

 

[GCK]

Compare them player for player to the Sens. If they are stacked then we must be more stacked.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Even Buffalo last year got excellent goaltending that isn't guaranteed to repeat.

Stacked F's =/= stacked team. The D and G's look atrocious at the moment (minus Seider ovbiously).

They do have a ample cap space so a move could still come, but count me as someone who thinks they are due for a step back if they don't make a move to shore up the back end.

Their cap space looks better than it is. They need to sign Seider, Raymond and Velano.

Seider 8-10M

Raymond likely around 8M if he isn’t bridged.

 

[bicboi64]

Detroit has a solid roster without glaring holes, but they don't have star power. Unless Raymond goes beast mode, or Danielson/Kaspar breakout, they'll be rekt
