Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

“I think that’s the best word for it. Obviously, Barzy likes to have the puck and cut back, kinda control the play that way,” Horvat told The Post. “Just playing that give-and-go game, finding each other down low and keeping it simple. Pager’s gonna cover me if I’m not down low. We’re just gonna kinda go up and down the wings and keep our games as simple as possible. I think that’s what’s been working for us is the predictability of each other out there.”

“I think we’re making the play that’s in front of us and supporting one another on the ice with close support, a lot of talk,” Lee told The Post. “After a while, it starts to become secondhand, second nature, whatever you want to call it. And we have a really good tendency of knowing where each other is, but also when one of your linemates get the puck, what they like to do with it. So you can read off that.”

Bo and Lee explaining the keys to the recent team’s success. Not a coincidence.

He's shown flashes of that. Let's just see if it becomes a consistent habit, or becomes Anthony Beauvillier.

Beau was ultimately a disappointment here so I get the comparison but he’s still only 27 years old.

Don’t look now but this year’s stats are: 19 games, 6 goals, 2 assists and his -1 plus minus is one of the best on his sorry squad. He’s now on a 1 yr, $1.25M deal.

No regrets and good for him.

Yeah both speaking about "Keeping it simple".
If Barzy could just keep it simple, he would be way more successful...
The question is... Can he keep it simple?
I'm not sure he can...

Do you think Nashville (Trotz) would do something like this:

C-Novak
LW-Lind or RW-Stiga
LD-Lauzon
2nd rounder (would like to get a 1st but not sure if it's too much)
For
C-Nelson
LD-Pelech

Trotz loves both of these guys. Pelech became an all-star under him and one of the best shutdown Dman in the league at the time.

How much more is Trotz going to double down? He’s blown tons of cap space and buyout money.

he's all in with the signings he did in he off-season. Just thinking he would welcome a few of the isles he groom and played well for him.

Just curious, what on earth has Maclean done to deserve first line minutes? He’s closer to healthy scratch than barzal’s wing. The fourth line should see 8 minutes of ice, and Maclean probably shouldn’t even see that much

Not viewing it as first line, even strength minutes would be spread iut

One benefit of these injuries is that Grant Hutton has shown he can handle the 3rd pair RD
He's earning more and more trust from Roy

Hutton likely deserves to stay as 7th D when the D is healthy
