Around the NHL 2023-24 - Offseason

[Bleedred]

i didnt even know this shit was on

I did

It just wasn't worth using the electricity to turn the TV on and watch.

I highly doubt Fitz is on the hot seat right now, considering he signed a long term extension at the end of January. Things weren’t exactly going smoothly then.

I don't know if he is quite yet, but I fully expect him to be on the hot seat if there's no playoffs this year.

How many years is he gonna get if we're not a playoff team/contending team? I'd imagine not many.

If we hadn't made the playoffs in 22-23 then that may have been it for him here.

I 100% agree, but that’s a whole calendar year away most likely, for right now, his job is safe imo.

Crazy payment for mangiapine at full hit

It’s Colorado’s 2nd, which they got for Eller at the 2023 TDL, which makes it a little better. (A little lol.)

 

[Bcap88]

Almost 24 million wrapped up in PLD, Tom Wilson and Mangiapane lol

That's team building right there

Give me Askarov.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Soooooo Askarov?

 

[vtdevils2k]

That is gonna backfire BADLY on them....

Idk what we would give.....10th for him?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Saros still has a year on his deal lol so they are trying themselves for 9 years to a 29 year old goalie

seems not smart!

Especially for a small goalie that heavily relies on athleticism. Once that is gone, he's going to get bad fast.

I got a feeling Trotz holds onto Askarov.

Why would Askarov stay there? Id be asking out within the next year or two.

Idk about Saros's NTC or NMC and all of that, but why would Askarov stay there?

Nashville fans for whatever reason because of Rinne think everyone wants to stay there and pass the baton to the next goalie...I'd be outta there asap

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Askarov is gonna be a Cane or Leaf, makes too much sense. Necas from Carolina or someone big from Toronto

Then you deal with that problem two years from now if you are Nashville. They are going to open up the backup spot of Askarov and he will probably get 25-30 games.

Because he has to for now....

10OA, Allen, and Holtz for the guy we should've drafted.

Except that's foolish asset management. You already have a goalie that you took at 11 ( ? ) and you're paying an older goalie to stay when regression and everything is not in his side and could be used for a trade piece to get an influx of a forward. It's borderline dumb from Nashville to extend Saros

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Seravalli says Nashville plans to keep Askarov in the AHL this year again lol

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Boneheaded from Trotz

 

[Forge]

Seravalli says Nashville plans to keep Askarov in the AHL this year again lol

So they are re-signing lankinen too?

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

10OA, Allen, and Holtz for the guy we should've drafted.

Give them 10th overall and one of Allen/Daws/Schmid for Askarov. I dont think we need to add Holtz to the deal.

 

[mdj12784]

Fitz, PLEASE!!!

 

[The Grinder]

Trots is thinking about 3-4 years from now. No reason to force a move now when you could be looking for another goaltender well before Saros contract expires.

 

[JrFischer54]

Reading the saros takes reminds me of the bob takes when he signed that contract lol
