Heck I thought everything around Bridgestone was relatively new already?

I'd be nice to see Bruno actually use the in-house center (Parssinen) and actually give him a chance before any potential trade. Though if we do try to acquire someone for that 2C spot, Nelson or Frost might be a solid gamble.

It's code-speak. They're going to apply some new paint, make some new VIP schmooze zones, and increase the prices dramatically.

I swear to God, we could sign Ovechkin, McDavid, Matthews, McKinnon, or Gretzky himself and they would all struggle to score and turn into 10 goal scorers.

Trying to look for silver linings. Trotz being a new GM and also taking over a team at a crossroads, the potential for f***ing up was pretty high. I think he did f*** up, but credit him for trying to do something bold and also not setting our capital back in the process.

I think the only move that will really hurt is Askarov, and even then Saros should be pretty good for several years still and I have faith in org for identifying and developing goalies. Still a lot of draft capital, still a lot of younger guys, and our long-term cap situation is ok. Firing Bruno is fine, but please no panic trades and throwing away assets.

Yeah, at least the FAs only cost us cap. I'm glad Trotz at least tried and I admire that.

I was just thinking a bit and say we sat the Big Sexy and Smith and played Tomasino/Parsnip and went with some variation of:
FF9-ROR-Marchy
Luke-Parsnip-Tomasino
ZLH-Sizzler-Jank
Stamkos-Novak-Gus

Who penalty kills? Sissons, ROR, Jank, Gus, FF9? I'm not sure any of the others really can, or at least well. Is that enough?

This roster is just...not well constructed in a loy of ways.

I think you'd have to use a couple of the younger guys in the mix. ZLH, LE, JP, and/or PT would have to step up and the new coach would have to be willing to roll the dice with putting them out there...

It's an issue but is giving up goals on the PK really any worse than them giving up 3 goals a night 5v5?. At least the PK you can negate by limiting penalties.

Scary thought if you add the goals we're not giving up at the current PK clip to the ones we're giving up 5v5.
