Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

I hope after this Mc David hissy fit the refs actually do there job and call the game. Frick have a AI review the gametapes and see how many missed calls.. especially cross checking and hooking.

I don't foresee any adding for a playoff run no matter what. Armstrong is careful with his words and everything sounds like any move made will be with an eye to the future and as a long-term addition. It might be dressed up as adding for marketing/media purposes, but it has to make sense beyond this season.

If on the outside, Bjugstad, Kerfoot, and Carcone are the forward UFAs post-season. Don't think there's a huge need to try and move them. Firstly, the return isn't going to be fantastic and they already have a fair number of picks/prospects stockpiled. Assuredly they'd start packaging these at the draft to move up. Secondly, there isn't much depth to move up to the NHL. Doan is up now due to Guenther being out and I'd keep him over Carcone. You'd be dithering between O'Brien and Carcone for the last slot, maybe calling up Yamamoto, but realistically don't see a benefit to pulling anyone up from the AHL.

I expect But and Doan to be on the team next season. If not traded, I'd see if Kerfoot/Bjugstad are keen to re-sign. Carcone can be looked at dependent on those decisions. He's ultimately going to be an in-betweener and might just take a better opportunity elsewhere before waiting on Utah's decision/offer.
Time to move on from Bjugstad and Carcone. Kerfoot I like.

Hope he's smart enough to avoid the 1st one.
What's wrong with Pettersson?
 
Massive contract, regressing, and a real crybaby when questioned by anyone.
We need 70% of our remaining possible points to reach 95 points and make the playoffs. We are more likely to be sellers then buyers at the TDL, but hey if we win at a 70% clip we would be the second best team in the NHL, so if we get in, we will be on fire, so thats the good part:)
