We're probably not going far in the playoffs this year, too many players just half-assing it and no physical presence to speak of...it's a retooling year anyway so seriously just sell off a few guys for assets and flip those assets for other players to help us moving forward. Get rid of Burns, put Walker next to Slavin for now and get a physical #5 shutdown d-man to pair with Ghost. If Rants wants to hit UFA get what you can for him @ 75% total retention. See what we can get in UFA or what shakes loose in the off-season. This team is eventually going to have to overpay to bring in a top 6 guy or this is going to continue being how every year goes, good but not good enough. Get some goddamn f***ing physicality on this team to help clear space for our guys. Maybe then we could actually win a box-out in front of the net, bang in a rebound, or score during net-front-scramble. Clog the middle so we play around the perimeter and we're screwed 9 out of 10 times

Couple thoughts:

I don't see selling off assets as a realistic option for the organization. Some of our more astute fans might see the strategy and approve, but telling the fan base in general that you're giving up on the season would be a p.r. catastrophe.

I'll be gobsmacked (been waiting for a chance to use that word lol) if anyone on the team is going to half-ass it in the playoffs. Might be nice to see the Canes bump it up a notch or two in the playoffs instead of just experiencing it from the opponents. Get there and see what happens.

I'd love to see Rod mix up the D pairings. Having said that, I can't see selling off anyone unless it's to upgrade the D for now and in the future.

God our PP is painfully predictable...if I as a hockey fan know what we're gonna do 1-2 sec in advance, you know damn well the pros can tell also

Is that like 1 shot on 3 PPs?

I think they should bring Morrow , and Put Burns on the 4th line , he used to be a forward , and put him in front of the net on the PP maybe the beard will obstruct the goalies view

It’s striking how every single puck touch is bobbled.

The Canes offense (and especially their PP) depends on a lot of really simple, short passes which need to be made quickly and cleanly. We do very little in the way of dancing around and creating space. The space is created by moving the puck systematically, faster than the D can adjust.

Watching them right now, even the simplest little passes are off-target and even when they’re dead on, they aren’t received cleanly. We’re really seeing the talent difference between this group and previous editions of the team.

(Finally a goal while I was writing all that)

And right off the puck drop, Ghost flubs the simple pass.
