Keefe needs to get off this brutal defensive structure. Why are we still swarming the strong side down low? It's such an easy play for the forechecking forwards to bank it back to the point, then we have non-existent coverage high in the zone and their defencemen are getting free reign to stroll to high danger ice and shoot while our wingers float around in no man's land. So stupid.

O'Neil is right. We all know it now I hope... but its a different Nylander this year.

He's been really good for a couple years now but he's on another level.

They better figure it out soon how to sign him. Otherwise unfortunately you get a bundle for him and probably never win the trade.
 
I think they're taking a nice step, but I also expect them to significantly regress and likely end up as more of a middle of the pack dark horse than a top contender in the west.

They're playing well over their head, their underlying numbers are absurd.



It's a fair ?
Ask a Flames fan if it's fair that they lose a goal that should have counted in exchange for a PP on a cheap call.
 
I'll try one last time. I am stating it is primarily Woll's fault. That was a horrendous rebound.

However, if you have played at a decent level or coached to those levels, the lines are also going to get an earful on what they could've done to not be in that spot from the get-go. Simple as that.
Thank you!
Woll needs to stop that. It was a bad goal.
But damn it would be nice if that line wasn’t constantly playing at the wrong end of the ice

Kind of reminds of Carlyles system where at the end of his tenure the leafs were getting hemmed in their zone for absurd amount time several times a game.

This isn’t as bad, but it’s getting there if Keefe doesn’t change anything.

Would love to have him, are there any decent goalies available as well though?
I highly doubt it, and if there is, the cost will be inflated since lots of teams need goalies.

I’m okay riding with Woll and an experienced backup (like Allen) as long as we fix our D.

Seems solid to me. And no Klingberg.
 
Treliving has to prioritize the value of these players - and construct a roster that can contend in short order ... one or two of these guys have to suck it up and " sacifice " the huge paycheck for a big pay check to win ... if they dont want to do that they can walk
