I've seen a lot of confusing ghost replies to no one today and it took until this comment to figure out why

Tell me all your thoughts on God
Who cares? Whatever will be, will be. All I care about is guys who don't backcheck, don't get to smash-your-stick privileges when shit don't go right. Guys who don't win 50-50 battles don't get mope privileges. The only guy who has done everything right, even when shit goes wrong, ever since he got here, is our captain. I'm not too worried. If anyone thought this team wouldn't stumble out of the gate, I'm more worried about them than I am the team.
I think this management group has generally done a good job, but the time to address the D was in the summer when they were moving on from Zadorov and Cole and thinking they could adequately do that with Desharniers and Forbort, or do it in-season, is looking like a fail. Imagine where they'd be without Quinn Hughes, who's having a Hart caliber season?
When healthy, it's a solid collection of forwards, especially if they can solve the Pettersson puzzle, and the goaltending tandem is upper echelon. Adding another quality D could be painful, but I guess we also shouldn't underestimate managements ability to pull something off either.

Go Hawks!
Sadly in the world we currently live in people love a good conspiracy...I work for a water company in Texas and we have people who call and complain that we are putting snake venom in the drinking water...or another who thinks the 5G antennas on our water towers are putting messages in her head and causing her headaches. Funny (not funny) stuff.

Don't know how realistic of a target he was but that's one name off the board. Don't think this is a situation where he would be flipped later, either.
(also, mid prospect is being generous)

I'd have to imagine he wasn't, unless Anaheim refused to take back Desharnais.
That would have been extremely easy to beat.
I think our window is the next 3 years including this one.
Quinn Hughes is a top-5 player in the NHL and is worth almost double his current cap hit. He's a UFA in 2027 and I can't envision any scenario where he re-signs here. We have him for 2 more years and that's it.
JT Miller is one of the top 5 or 6 centers in the NHL right now, significantly outperforming his cap hit and is the most important player on this team after Hughes. He turns 32 in March and will likely start to decline significantly in the next 2 years.
Our window is now, we have an incredible opportunity and I would throw absolutely everything at it while we can.
