NHL: Around the League 53

Wouldn't be quick to judge. They never got their Bedard or Celebrini and it's been about 6 or so years of that. The Ducks and Jackets will likely toil in mediocrity for a long while as well, as Carlsson and Fantilli are likely to be less impactful than Bedard.

Fans give Yzerman a hard time about his UFA signings but we just did something similar this past offseason and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. You can't have your young players be playing on a team of garbage and expect them to do well.

He'll have to figure something out though because there's no elite talent heading his way via the draft and he's relying on Kane and Tarasenko in top 6 roles. I think they should lean into Seider and Edvinsson, build from the back out, and go from there.

There is no defending his failures in net

That is 100% on him with his poor moves

What options are out there for him? Tough position to fill
