Yes but he's also been forced to play Campbell the last few because Skinner is unavailable. It'll be big though if Campbell can rediscover his confidence.

That's what I mean, though. He didn't force him into the line-up prior to now, and he's coming in confident and with lots of energy.

Found spaghetti in Dolce & Gabbana packaging at the grocery store today. Naturally I had to try it. Had it with steak and garlic bread.

So I guess it's save to say I had designer dinner tonight.

Edit: I am serious the packing had Dolce & Gabbana in small print centered on the bottom lol

It's important that other guys than our big 4 of McDavid, Drai, Hyman and Nuge score some goals, and Kostin has been doing that. He has 6 goals in his last 8 games. He did go 4 games without a goal in those 8 games, but in 3 of those games he played about 8 minutes. Pretty hard to score with that kind of ice time. Woody needs to keep giving him 15 minutes or so, because he's scoring when he does.

JP money is kinda already going to Skinner. Gonna need to find some more for Kostin, Bouchard, and McLeod.

we also have to worry about Bouchard's money

There's a 1 million rise in cap projected. Although at least we have Sekera's 1.5 AAV penalty ending. Neal's 1.9 is still here, but I view that as cushion to make sure we can afford Draisaitl's raise when the time comes. I actually like the Neal buyout as it times perfectly for that, and we needed thtat little bit of space badly at the time.

It may be a blessing in disguise that Bouchard has struggled with his contract being up. We should be able to get him signed relatively cheap, and I'm not too worried about him being a top-4 guy longterm.

This is the watch I'm coveting right now. Thoughts? Don't own a green watch.

Full credit to Holland for that Kostin deal... he should stick to only deals for league minimum players... anything above that and he f***s up bad,


Well Kane did fall in his lap as well... so credit there as well.

Unpopular opinion but I think Holland has actually made some pretty decent trades to this point. Fans are impatient and it's time to go all in. His next couple of trades will be what saves his job or gets him fired.

RNH extension is underrated. There was a time where people thought he would get 7m+.

Hyman signing was just what we needed. Fans were complaining that we overpaid in money and term but has earned every penny.

Adding Kane was controversial at the time and Kenny did a good job when the media turned against him. It's easy to say that Kane fell into his lap in retrospect but fans forget how much people hated it at the time. Also heard chatter of 8M+ after leading the playoffs in goals but came down to a much reasonable number.

Ceci was also an underrated signing when Larsson decided not to come back.

Keith trade was actually pretty good in retrospect.

Adding Kulak at the time was pricey but got him signed to a very reasonable contract.

Campbell is starting to come around.

Janmark was a solid add for cheap.

McLeod was much cheaper than we all thought.

Kostin was a fantastic add.

I dont really fault Kenny for trying to insert some more youth on cheap contracts into the lineup but to this point has been underwhelming.

The biggest problem this year IMO have been Nurse, Yamamoto and JP regressing.
