Speculation: Potential TDL adds we can get?

[pantherbot]

There's always injuries in the playoffs. Zito learned that lesson from the 2023 run when we barely had a roster by the end. Last year we got pretty lucky but still had guys like Bennett and Barkov out for some time.

Our forward depth is stacked now, assuming Tkachuk will be healthy by playoffs. But our defense and goal depth are suspect. Really would've liked to add a bottom-3 dman, but the prices were crazy so I guess nothing we could've done there. No way to really replace Knight as the backup so I guess we just need to pray for Bob's good health.

There is zero Stanley Cup final GOAT Erod in this lineup. Why?

that's the funny part, people forget some of the players we have we are so stacked

 

[ShootIt]

Missed a chance to get the final rat in Cousins lol

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I was kinda expecting ERod to be moved in a trade for someone. We have an embarrassment of riches for depth at forward.

I know a fair bit of people here want him to stay but it's either him or Luostarinen leaving in July IMO., if the goal is to keep Benny and Ekblad.
I'd prefer Luostarinen over ERod to stay.

Samoskevich needs more minutes next year and he can take some of ERods.
Plus, I think Sourdif needs to be in discussions of being promoted and given a part time role to which Samo got this year.

I believe Stonehandes will be traded this summer to make room for a potential Marchand signing !

3.5M for 3 years could entice the Rat to stay here a little longer and enjoy himself until retirement.

I’m not sure why you say that since he has already been on the 4th line several times this year.

Sure, but the regular season is very different than the playoffs. They’ve also ran the luostarinen-Lundell-Rodrigues line several times this season and they had success. But I could be wrong.

It’s good to have depth and options, no matter what they decide to go with it’ll be a good, deep roster so I’ll put my trust in coach Paul for whatever he decides to roll with

 

[Gentle Man]

He did it again! Lol

Who was defending this ? Lol

Yeah, I was expecting Mahura for a 4th. I don't know how roster works after the deadline, but maybe we would have had too many players up.

He’s actually such a toxic dick lmao

 

[Ekblast]

All the Erod hate pisses me off. Dude carried us to a win over the oilers.

I think with the forward additions and with everyone being healthy, all of Greer - Nosek - Gadjovich lost their spots.

In playoffs though, if we happen to play the New York Rempes, Gadjo might get some games.

Yep, good matchup flexibility

you used new york, playoffs and rempe in the same sentence. i think the spacetime continuum is wobbling right now.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Why are we so good

 

[I am not exposed]

Why are we so good

Bill Zito is an incredible GM who has constructed a very good team.

 

[pb1300]

Why are we so good

Because we were SO BAD for like 75% of the team’s existence…so we DESERVE what we are witnessing now.

I paid thousands a year from 99 to 08 for season tickets. Over those summers, visiting Greece, I would drive 30 minutes frequently to a city nearby, so I can go to an Internet cafe and log in here to talk and fantasize about our team actually being who they are now. Like some others here, I’ve been getting up or staying up, until 1/2/5am to watch a shit product over and over, once I moved to Greece so I’m going to be selfish now and say I deserve what I’m witnessing now. And I still cry to this day watching us win last year, and knowing that my 87 year old mom, who was with me for most of the games when we had season tickets, got to witness us win! My dad too, because we were so bad those years, he got to come to MANY games for free lol
