TDA is not even the first thing wrong with this team. There's a reason why his +/- is almost aligns with his points this season. He needs someone to carry him.
Carry him? He was 5th in points last year. Its called a team. It plays to it's strength and weaknesses. It was a good fit. They f***ed with it when the only player we weren't getting was Tro. You could have kept Nino and TDA easy.

This isn’t just some slump. This is all of the team’s flaws from the past several seasons coming home to roost all at once. The longer management sits on this, the worse it will get.
Yep

This is the kind of downturn that can last a while and completely derail a season. They need a trade, and probably sooner than we would like to admit.

No but things like chemistry matter..the X factor that maybe Nino, Trocheck, TDA, or Lorentz gave the team seems to be lost. They're milquetoast now. It's not always about the freaking KPIs or metrics.

We aren't making the playoffs. You can mark this post for later and call me out.

This is not a playoff team. We are not making the playoffs unless a major change happens.
Making the playoffs isn't that hard now. We'll make the playoffs. We'll go out early and there will be "well we're 6th in the league" early in the 2023-24 season and anyone who calls us the future San Jose Sharks will be called a reactionary. That much is true.

This is like the perfect encapsulation of the passivity of Canes fans. Worst f***ing hockey team in years against a terrible team and they’re just like this is okay.
last november was pretty bad, 6 game stretch where we lost 5 of 6 to some really bad teams and looked really bad doing it. November & December in 2018-19 were really bad too.

this team has had some really bad stretches but they figure it out.

The Yotes showing more swagger than these boys.

Did they all become vegan or some shit this off-season?

Look at the teams 1-9. We are definitely at risk. And we won’t be bad enough to qualify for the Bedard/or the Russian player (I forget his name right now) sweepstakes.

Yes, carry him. The Flyers are even worse than us with him as a top d-man. He's not going to f*** you, why are you so invested? I honestly don't understand. You act like he's Adam Fox.

All 4 hit and were physical/pain in the arse players. Only thing I would say is that TDA was horse manure in the playoffs and 2nd half of the year our PP sucked.

You're an emotional poster. That much is true.
