Is Tampa cooked?

[Fatass]

Tamps isn’t cooked. They’re burnt. IMO Cooper is moving on. He sees the downfall and is jumping ship.

Yeah probably should have specified mid playoff team.. obviously they aren’t truly mediocre in the context of the full 32 team field

A mid playoff team can win the cup while a great regular season team can lose in the first round (think 2023 Bruins). The NHL playoffs are crazy that way. It's not like the NBA.

This is primarily why I wouldn't blow things up if I'm Brisebois. Slight retool maybe.

Not cooked at all.

Kind of like Detroit was in the early 2010’s.

Yes. Old core heading south. Replace the coach, trade all the guys that will waive, collect picks, and rebuild.

Honestly reading the injuries they might have a few more seasons they could go on a run on.

Bjorkstrand: (too complicated to write)
Cirelli: MCL Sprain Game 1
Glendening: AC Joint separation
Gourde: Broke a finger Game 1
Hagel: Concussion
Hedman: Broke foot Game 4
Kucherov: Suffered an injury in Feb he was managing
Paul: Tear in left wrist
