He took a cheap shot from Kucherov and hopefully somebody returns the favor tonight.Do we know what’s wrong with Chucky? Seems kind of quiet.

Yeah someone did say we need a new scapegoat.Hard pass.
Let's go for Reilly Smith instead!
No thank you. Kid has been a stud.I'm not just spit balling here I think Rantanen is very much possible assuming Carolina wants to trade him. Panthers have the 2026' pick available, Mookie would be on the table, along with Jack Devine. Sell the farm.
A second player I would love to have is Henri Jokiharju. Not so much for this year but further down the line. Maybe a possible Ekblad replacement for next year or Schmidt replacement.
I don’t think they can trade that ‘26 pick since it has a condition on it from the tkachuk trade. If so, we really only have a 2nd in ‘26, 2 4ths this year and 2 4ths in ‘26, and a select few prospects.

We don’t need Rantanen. He would be an insane luxury. Get rid of Nosek, get a real backup, and get a depth D and let’s roll.As sexy as big name like Rantanen is, I wouldn’t mind just getting a couple of really solid playoff type depth guys that are going to make the silence difference in getting us another cup. I’m talking about guys like Barbashev from Vegas or Stenlund type of guys. Get like 2-3 of those and we’re set.
Zero chance we trade SamoNo thank you. Kid has been a stud.
dont get the hate on nosek
Guys doin fine on the 4th, although i miss stennys contributions on the PK
Hes a +7 on the 4th line and over 50% on F/Os
What more do you want from a 4th line center? loldont get the hate on nosek

Nosek is just existing. That’s the problem. He doesn’t do bad or good. He’s just a “I’m alive kind of guy”What more do you want from a 4th line center? lol
Stenny had 15 points and was a -10 last year.

That is one player I miss the most, he was just a perfect 4th liner.Bring back Stenlund
4th line is creating good chances, grinds it out, and doesnt get caved inNosek is just existing. That’s the problem. He doesn’t do bad or good. He’s just a “I’m alive kind of guy”
If you can give your 4th line defensive deployment and "nothing happen" that's a huge win. tbf, Stenlund had brutal defensive deployment and wasn't coping well with it.Nosek is just existing. That’s the problem. He doesn’t do bad or good. He’s just a “I’m alive kind of guy”
I hope that if they knew MT could miss significant time in the playoffs, that we would have gotten Donato in the Jones deal.Let’s say Chucky cannot make the playoffs. How ya’ll feeling about Gadjo playing regularly in the playoffs?
I mean yes. I guess I value a little more offense from our 4th line. I feel like all 4 of our lines have to be dangerous to some extent. And Stenlund was a freak on the PKIf you can give your 4th line defensive deployment and "nothing happen" that's a huge win. tbf, Stenlund had brutal defensive deployment and wasn't coping well with it.
Stenlund was -14 with an expected differential of -6 and Nosek is +7 with an expected differential of +6, albeit with an easier deployment. You want low event and low variance hockey from your 4th line. I'll take a steady slightly positive over a peak and valley 4th line.
