Off-season thread

[Zrhutch]

this one sucks. dan was always great to add some levity, but jake is one of those guys you can tell really puts in the work. the segments he led were always top notch.

100% agree. Jake was the spearhead of any sort of future the ticket had. Now I’m not sure the station survives after the Musers retire.

I’m gonna show you f***ing noobs how it’s done.




Carolina working on sending Brent Burns to Dallas which is holding up the EK65 trade. Karlsson doesn’t wanna play with Burns again and Dallas was in on him when the Canes signed him.

Light work.

@skygodz187 hit em with the trade details. I’m gonna go get shit faced on my mega-yacht and post incoherent rants on Twitter

If you're as bored as I am from this completely unspectacular offseason, but want to play Make Believe and pretend like Dallas has money to sign some of the interesting UFA names still on board, well then read on!

Window shopping for what's left of 2023's milquetoast UFA class

Let's pretend like Dallas still has money. Any UFA's worth looking at?

Great read - I know we don't need any more adds up front but man Tatar, Heinen, or Poolparty all seem like interesting adds to me.

You're saying something is off about this off season? Does that make it an on season?

If you guys are bored here is a nice highlight package of Stanky

Until I get flagged for spamming I'm just gonna keep posting my BS.

The Sophomore Slump Isn't Coming For Wyatt Johnston

The 20-year-old had one of the best rookie years in Dallas Stars history. Spoiler alert: it’s only going to get better.

If you don't feel like reading on this hot AF Friday then I'll just highlight what I thought was the most interesting find. Johnston's 19-year old season in terms of fancy stats (in this case 'total offense' which is goals above a replacement forward at even strength + goals above a replacement forward on the power play) is uhh...very not that bad.

Im ass at this game. I knew Columbus and Calgary has someone obvious. And I do vaguely remember Jagr on the Devils but other than that- meh. I didn’t remember Marleau on the Penguins yet I remembered Greiss somehow.

Love these.

My obsession with hockey cards growing up, especially goalies in the 90’s allows me to be good at puckdoku. Even random back up goalies from the 90’s I was obsessed with.

Won’t happen. Makes too much sense

 

[serp]

If he goes to Pittsburgh he won't win anything. They'll be the oldest team in the league by a ton. A team with like 0 signficant player under 28 and an average age of 31 isn't winning anything.

Stars have some older players but almost the whole Pens roster is older players

Pens remind me of the late 90's Houston Rockets that had an aging championship core and every year added more old veterans to try and somehow still win and every year age and injuries caught up with them .

 

[Zapp]

I’ll take trade news of any kind for any team at this point. Gonna be a lonnnnggg couple of weeks until Traverse.

Good shit. We’ve seen a carousel around the league and I’m glad to have one of the best GM’s around another 2 years. Tops off his GM of the year award nicely.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Now THIS is this precursor to Pesce we have been waiting for

 

[serp]

Fourth longest tenured GM in the league behind . DA in St.Louis , Chevy with the Jets and Jarmo in Columbus ? Jarmo must be beloved by Jackets ownership because the team got out of the first round just once in his 10 years there and missed the playoffs regularly.

Then again all 3 of his predecessors combined made the playoffs just once

He wanted job security before making a big swing

He’s going all in for Karlsson now lol

 

[account deactivated]

Nill making sure to stick around to get Robertson signed long term and then ride off into the sunset for a well deserved retirement.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Jimbo is solid, no point in switching. I feel like the staff around him is the strongest it's ever been in terms of analytics, Greeley, Peverley, Scott White, improved development staff rather than only JJ. Etc.

Those seem like better moves rather than hiring a new GM.
