Common sense lmao. Y’all are new to hockey if you think keeping Dean would guarantee us a top 5-10 pick.

Exactly. There was no guarantee that this group would have stayed in that rut the rest of the season with Evason. They could have very well worked their way out of a top 10 pick.
 
I was on board w injuries tanking us into a top ten pick this season, then kap and that weak schedule showed up and here we are.

Kap and Boldy were both injured early. The team’s record coincides more with Kap returning to normal than any other one factor.
 
did someone mention pie?

True. Kap was still feeling that injury for a good part of the season, and I think he had lost some confidence as well. He looks more like himself now, and has been a huge factor in many of the wins.

Agreed. Gus going from a Vezina candidate to sub -.900 SV % helps too.

And MAF has been pretty steady the last month or so with last night being an exception. We can blame him for costing us a worse draft pick as well. :naughty:

Point is, Evason or Hynes....wouldn't matter.

Stop bringing logic and reason as an opponent to gut feelings 😜

Complete speculation is not logic and reason. There is a record to indicate Evason had lost the room and was failing. There is a coaching change by a GM to indicate he felt the same and change was needed. Had that change not been made there is a historical record to indicate that the team would not have made the drastic change it did from day 1 with Hynes. There are plenty of examples of honeymoon phases with the coaching change to give us some reasoning for that drastic change in performance.

Pathetic the mental gymnastics going on here to deflect front the fact that this squad was failing and we would have had a legitimate impact draft position instead of mushville where we find ourselves again
 
BUT DERRRR INJURIES ALL HEALED ON DAY ONE WITH HYNES!!!! TOTAL COINCIDENCE AND NOTHING TO DO WITH EVASON !!!!
 
We are effectively out of the playoff picture with the loss to the Kings and the win by VGK.

Gus showed us who he actually is.
 
Kap-Rossi-Yurov
Boldy-JEE-Ohgren
Foligno-Marat-Hartman
Bankier-Freddy-Zucc (PP spec.)

Brodin-Faber
Middleton-Spurgeon
Buium-Peart / Lambos / Hunt

Wallstedt / Gus

I think we could have a very solid team in about a year or two’s time. Webster will say to swap Zucc w/ Foligno so do that if you want. Manifesting the Buium pick now. He’d be perfect

Look at Evason’s first year coaching this team. Perfect example of how the team started poorly and then went on an absolute run. You just can’t face reality that our best players were injured early and we had to deal with that. Kaprizov wasn’t healthy. If you think he was, then I don’t know what to say. It was pretty obvious to anyone with knowledge of him as a player. Maybe you don’t have that. That would at least give an answer as to why you think the way you do.

Like another poster has said, Arizona is your team. Their management does exactly what you call for. Have at it.

Quit blubbering
 
Lines at practice this morning...
Ek will not be ready for tomorrow, Brodin also out. That wild card spot is fading away.

Couldn't have Johansson and Gaudreau together, that was a dead line.

Kaprizov-Rossi-Zuccarello
Johansson-Hartman-Boldy
Foligno-Khusnutdinov-Gaudreau
Shaw-Lucchini-Beckman
