Not sure if we would have won against the Penguins but if we could have at least beaten the Preds I would have considered it a win for the season!!!!
I wonder if CBJ fans make these same whiny posts years later.
yeah if anything, its jackets fans who should be pissed at their team for letting karlsson go. trading him for wisniewski who spent most of the playoffs scratched was dumb, but he played two full seasons there compared to just 18 games with the ducks
CBJ also didn’t have multiple under 30 year olds playing in this years final. Which can’t be said for the ducks. It’s one thing to miss badly on one prospect but having multiple former ducks be major factors in the two best teams is a bit of a black eye on the previous administration.
Karlsson is really neither here nor there as far as reflecting on the Ducks, he's the same as Montour. The Ducks knew those guys had value because they traded them for value, and both took many years and multiple coaches and organizations to figure their shit out. People act like they just dumped these guys on waivers or something.
Imagine if they traded them after their draft years. Steel and Comtois stock as prospects were high then. Steel wrecked the WHL and Comtois exploded in the QMJHL.
Because he was behind Perry and Silfverberg. He wasn't very suited for our 3rd line role at the time
Yes, and I also believe there was a sense that KP wanted to play closer to home in the East.
Murray said people needed to start showing up in the playoffs or there would be changes. Palmieri responded with 3 points in 15 games.
I know you all enjoyed a nice break from the Hampus talk, so I'd thought I'd ruin it by mentioning he finished 4th in Norris voting and made the 2nd All-star team:
I'm actually surprised that he came ahead of quite a lot of these guys.
Lindholm was offered a contract to stay and declined. Verbeek got what he could for him. Really not sure what you expect to get out of a pending UFA...
