Future of the team is incredibly bleak

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

What do you sa

If we lose this series, I'm down to blow it all up.

Trade Nylander, let Marner and Tavares walk, Trade Matthews, Rielly. Build around Knies and that's it.

It's not going to be blown up.

There will be changes but there will be no rebuild.

What do you say now?

Series isn't over yet.

For fun, I expect IF the unthinkable happens and they blow this Marner is gone and Shanny is too. Anyone expecting more than that is probably not getting it. Could see assistant coaching changes.

They'll pay Sam Bennett 10M in UFA to come here and re-sign Knies. Robertson is gone IMO i'll guess for draft pick(s) at the draft. Kampf is gone and so is Jarnkrok if they can find takers. They will run it mostly back with Marner for Bennett + a few bottom 6 changes.

If they falter again they ask Matthews to waive his NMC and try to find a deal like.. Wyatt Johnsson + Thomas Harley for Matthews + something and retool that way

I think Robertson is gone regardless of if they lose in round 1, win the cup or anything in between.

He may get into game 6 and maybe he should.

But I don't think the outcome has ANY impact on his future

The team isn't going to rebuild anytime soon..at best we see an aggressive retool over the summer..

But a team that's traded that much draft capital + has a D core that's older and in full blown 'win now' mode is going to try and keep going for it.

The most radical summer outcome is they go spending with Marner + Tavares cap hits

Good thing our GM is known for his big free agent signings going well

Like every year since 2016. lol!

 

[Its not your fault]

Let's be real here. We have arguably 2 prospects of any note in Cowan and maybe Danford neither move the needle. We have no draft picks because we traded them all at the TDL. 2 of our 4 core pieces are UFAs and likely to walk for nothing. We have no #1 dman, hell no #2 dman.

We have NO future. The only possible move this offseason is to throw money around in free agency. For any long time fans, we've seen this story before. We will end up paying players like Komaserk, Lombardi, Armstrong, Connolly, Clarkson, etc big money in free agency and be trash but with a cap strapped team.

There is a very real chance we have gifted Bruins another top 10 draft pick. I am nearing my breaking point with this team.

That's the cycle you finally noticed good job.

I don’t know why you’d let JT walk, where else are you going to get a 40 goal point per game man for 8 million, William could be better but 11.5 for another 7 years seems like a great deal. M &M though yeah see ya, unless they take a realistic contract next time, as in no raises

Because he's old, and despite having a career year in the regular season he's not acceptable at the 2C spot anymore?

Mostly coz he has terrible synergy with Nylander.

So who would you replace him with? He’s more than capable playing another 3 years. He’s still a top 10 faceoff guy and great on puck battles, we will never get a better player for less than 8 million. And it’s not his career year, he’s had several slightly better, he’s probably one of the most consistent players in the entire league
