Pay Jeremy Swayman whatever he wants. Kid is legit.
Kid gets so much hate on this board, but he works his ass off, and plays hard. He had a monster game tonight. this story reminds me of when he finished a game and scored the game winner with a fracture in his leg
F NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Would anyone do a Mitch for Pasta swap?
A good old fashion hockey trade
Marner is soft as butter and totally disappeared in the playoffs. While you can say Pastrnak didn't perform in the playoffs either, Marner plays with better linemates and is still a soft player. Pastrnak played with a 4th line center and Zacha who disappeared in the playoffs.Why?
Some guys got some much needed playoff experience too. This year will only make us stronger in the long run, it’s a very different feeling than last season imoConsidering we lost Bergeron, Krejci, Hall, Orlov, and Bertuzzi and replaced them all with lesser tier players, our "league worst" prospect pool had Lohrei, Beecher, Poitras, and Brazeau show they are NHL level talent, Swayman showing he is capable of being a top 5 goalie in the league, and us making Toronto collapse and choke again in an epic game 7, and not rolling over and dying down 3-1 to Florida who was a mjch better team I consider this season an A-. Sad ending but not disappointed in this team overall

Fair enough,No, Marner is not a guy I want in the playoffs. If they move Pasta it has to be an upgrade, Marner isn't to me
So what we learned Sway is legit. Mason is going to be a big Part of this team Defense. Peeke and Wotherspoon are solid bottom paring Defenseman. Danton proved to a valuable Chess piece. Justin Bressau earns a spot on the 4th line.
I think Poitras can be the fall back, plus they have Freddy and Geekie who can play C. I like the thinking just don't want to block anyone and I am kind of sick of the piece together teams and would like to start getting some of these higher O side kids groomed for the big timeMy only worry with that is what happens if he doesn’t cut it?
I really think they need to get 2 centers and allow Coyle to move to 3C and Zacha to 1LW.
Perfect world, for me. Lindholm and Stephenson.

Unlikely, I know.
I'm worried about the leafs . They a pissed off organization. I wanna stay clear away from them. Maybe they play Tampa and get bounced.There's something about the Panthers. I don't like them, but I respect them. I hope we have a killer offseason and we play them again next year. I want to beat them badly.
A lot can happen in a year though. Need a strong offseason first.
Unless he gets an offer sheetIt's gonna happen. I am not worried about RFA, all that means is it might drive the price up for Boston
PLD seriously sucked this year, and there's no way a team is going to commit to 7 years of significant salary retention. LA will try him again next year and hope they can get some ROI.I feel a ullmark to pld with retention coming in offseason. I'm in.
I’m not either I just want him to be the top priority between now and the draft.It's gonna happen. I am not worried about RFA, all that means is it might drive the price up for Boston
Are you taking a swipe at me?new guy coming in hot with some terrible takes.

The team played hard, just didn't get the bounces in the end. I thought they matched up physically but skill wise, they're a step behind some of the top end teams in the league.
Get a real #1 center and another scoring threat on the wing
I honestly see Poitras starting the year in Providence which wouldn’t be a bad thingI think Poitras can be the fall back, plus they have Freddy and Geekie who can play C.

Fine by me, though FL should be reassessed; my understanding is that there was growth in playing a team game after RM called him out.Poitras is the only one of those three I see making the team. I think Merkulov and Lysell could get packaged this off-season to upgrade the forwards.
Blink twice if you are in trouble.Would anyone do a Mitch for Pasta swap?

I did respect them until this series. Bunch of divers Fake tough guys that won't answer the bell. Cheap on the dl and won't back it up. Reminds me of those Kostitsyn sisters teams the Habs would roll outThere's something about the Panthers. I don't like them, but I respect them. I hope we have a killer offseason and we play them again next year. I want to beat them badly.
