I laugh when I see anyone wanting to deal Kreider. If you're going scorched Earth on the core then he's the one you keep. He's the longest tenured. He's homegrown. And he makes the least amount of money depending on who in your opinion makes up the core. And you do right by those players. And he seems to me like when the time comes for the next contract he'll take less to stay. He means a lot of the organization both on and off the ice that can't be quantified. If he wants to go chase a Cup because time is running out and it's clear it won't happen here then you deal him. Otherwise he's staying.
Its moreso changing the country club culture that is cancerous to this franchise. It would start with trading the guy who others see has had success despite looking like tarzan and playing like jane. We need to change the culture.

Go sign Matt Roy, let Jones play. Trade Trouba and Lindgren.

Sign Guentzel and Bertuzzi.

Rebuild the team into guys who thrive playing in front of the net and finding spots in high danger spots.

Berard plays game 1. Edstrom plays game 1.

The system should be winning battles along the boards and funneling pucks to the point for point shots and working the puck via cycle to the front
Waste of money to sign Roy. We have our top 4 RHD for the next decade in Fox and Schneider. Should be looking to just fill them bottom pair RHD slot with someone making $2mm or under

remember when people were saying they’d rather Mika than Eichel😂

Eichel, and better Vegas team than last year, were out in the first round. I mean, Mika isn't better than Eichel by any means but the cost of acquiring him was significantly less.

I really think Mika had an injury issue. I wonder if we'll find out what it was. The Rangers aren't exactly great about disclosing this kind of stuff.

I love Guentzels game but he's gonna make 10 mil aav.

Bertuzzi isn't that taking another 1yr deal, so let's call it 2yr/6 mil aav.

You're retaining or taking another bad deal for Trouba so that money will most likely fall even.

That extra 16 mil in '25 off-season will cost us Igor or LaF.

Are you alright with that?

Edit: And it might cost us both, because we wouldn't have any room to match an offer sheet on LaF.

Now that the season is over we'll know who was dealing with what.

Not even a little bit. He's an excellent defender and if you want to try to win next year, we need to replace at least 2 of them.

You know who can fill the bottom pair for 2m or under? Schneider.

You really think with the cap going up that Scheinder is gonna be under 2 mil AAV?

I would say it's much closer to 3 and may actually be 3.

He will get less than Miller, but also get a bump for being on the RD.

Laff is better than brady. Imo a trade for brady isnt realistic because if ottawa moves him it means theyre rebuilding and therefore theyd want young guys to grow with them. The best we could probably offer is

Kandre
Cuylle
Perreault
Othmann
2024 1st
2025 1st

And thats not getting it done
This isn't prime Gretzky we are trading for.That is an asinine overpayment.

Given our core has 1-2 seasons left, I expect a lot of bridge contracts for guys like Schneider.

It will be all bridge but Scheinder is gonna get a nice bump.

And he's the only RFA I prioritize.

We should start hearing about injuries soon. Sean McDonaugh kept referring to an Adam Fox shoulder injury last night. Where did he get that from? I thought it was a leg injury from the knee on knee hit with Jensen in the first round.

Unless and until you get proper support from your forwards with movement, your defenders will always have issues with the breakouts.

Hardly see our forwards, more than 1 at a time, coming back in the zone with speed trying to open lanes.

We are easy to game plan against. And it's not just because we have limitations on D

Forgot to list my potential targets of interest and players to watch hitting UFA in the next 2 seasons. So I’ll leave this here.

Sanheim- 28 years old, reportedly on the block as the flyers are doing a from the ground up rebuild.
Big, mobile, can put up points.

Zetterlund-25 yrs old. Versatile player still on a cheap deal. Has skill to be a 20/20 guy and beyond depending on what line he’s on. Cheap deal as on now.
Guy is a bowling ball and very hard to knock off the puck. He goes balls out every shift. Maximum effort type of guy.
Get him out of SJ before his eyes glaze over like a caged lion in the zoo.

McDavid- likely won’t make it to UFA, but 1 can dream.

Drai- oilers will not be able to afford both, he’s the likely candidate to step into a role vacated by Panarin and his salary imo.
Elite scorer/playoff performer in scoring areas.

Kaprizov- massive talent. Will likely leave minn because they are old. Think this kid has his sights set on big city living/stardom and has the drive and offensive chops to produce in a NY environment. He is not soft or 1dimensional by any means. There’s a lot of fight in that Dog.

Ideally, we end up poaching 1 of him or Drai in UFA.

Nic Roy- he’s going to get around 6 mill per, but he’s steady and reliable. A way better option then what career 3rd pairing Zadorov is going to get after a career playoff year.

Blueger and lafferty probably get overpaid for what they bring.

Theres not a lot out there this offseason in terms of quality UFAs, the following year has some serious talent coming up on the market.
Losing Panarin and Troubas full cap hits by then in order to add a premier talent is critical.

In lavis system, D play a critical part of the offensive. Need to bring in the right personnel to help execute it.

I love goodie, but if you can shed his cap hit early, you do it as well.
You want to win, pay horses high dollars. Fill in the rest with youth/cheap vets

I like chytil, but moving on from him is the right course of action. He can’t be depended on. The last thing you want is a nothing hit derailing your season cause a player can’t be counted on to stay healthy.
I would not be penciling him in to any long term roster plans.
Kakko should/most likely wants a fresh start and bigger opportunity somewhere else. Just not a guy whose going to put it altogether here unless the stars align perfectly.

As far as our prospects go, I make any and all available in a deal for the right player with term except for Perrault.
That was divine intervention/grace of god that he fell to us in the draft and we didn’t overthink it and actually picked him.
Kid is going to be a needle mover/difference maker when his time comes…..

Don’t need a full team overhaul. Just a solid 4-5 moves that upgrade the team and cut out the rotten parts.
Finally the ragers have some solid cheap youth to come up and replenish the ranks. They type of guys that cost a lot if you can’t develop them internally.

Should be an interesting draft/offseason after they swallow this bitter pill and go back to the drawing board.

The man everyone on here thinks got shafted out of mvp consideration played like a poor man’s version of the bad version of Roslovic. So have some humility when it comes to how the roster MUST look. Having said that, Trouba has been Mayfield since day 2 and is a series costing play waiting to happen. He MUST go.

I think lindgren to Van makes a ton of sense. They’re potentially losing a lot of D to ufa. They might feel lindgren is use to playing with Fox so maybe he can transition to playing with Hughes. No idea what the return could but maybe Garland for lindgren?

They already have a partner for Hughes and it wouldn’t work as they’re both LHD.

I think there are several Canadian teams that make more sense. Ottawa bc they’re Ottawa and Toronto based off of what their GM values.

Hughes is a LD. He wouldn't be paired with Lindgren.

And Vancouver would hang up the phone

Amazed to see how so many relying on FC to be a 2nd or 3rd line center next season. To me he is a huge question mark. At this stage he may be a shell of what he was and one hit away from retirement. Sad story but you cannot go into next season thinking all is well on this front.

One of the announcers on SN broadcast mentioned this just before puck drop last night.

Yep, we’re in a serious pickle (again) with the most important position group on the ice.

Rebuild the team into guys who thrive playing in front of the net and finding spots in high danger spots.

Berard plays game 1. Edstrom plays game 1.

The system should be winning battles along the boards and funneling pucks to the point for point shots and working the puck via cycle to the front
if you sign guentzel bertuzzi and roy, you're losing laf or shesterkin, and miller or schneider.

but yeah that would be a sick lineup for a year
