Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build
- Thread starter PK Cronin
- Start date
Obvious one is Lee, who only has a year after this. Pageau is also a future UFA. Could also argue in favor of Varlamov, very reasonable contract and there’s always going to be some demand for goaltending out there.
As for the aforementioned Pelech, I don’t know. A lot of people here have buyers remorse about both the Pelech and Pulock deals, and in Pelech’s case (NTC finally becomes modified after his year) his play started cratering after suffering a bad concussion. So we’re at the point of wanting to get rid of him bc he’s damaged goods and hoping some team out there doesn’t see that and is willing to take on the lengthy term remaining. I don’t think it’s going to happen and I feel like the team would be better off just holding because inevitably we’re going to need to replace him and the price might be costly (see: Romanov in 2022).
lol on Florida panthers broadcast, they were talking about floridas league leading 7 short handed goals, with Sam Reinhardt with 4 of them. Asked Reinhardt about it, and said he stopped going to the PK meetings and that’s when their PK really took off 
A few of the isles should miss the PK meetings as well

Keep It Simple Stupid. That’s what somewhat frustrates me across the whole league, these guys made it to the NHL because they KNOW how to play hockey. I understand playing within a system, but there needs to be trust in the players to play with their instincts. A player thinking during a game is not a player I want on the ice. Natural reactions for me.
But what if your team has mostly mid-level skill guys mixed in with some low hockey IQ guys?

Outside of Maclean, the isles 4th is beyond brutal. The D struggle playing with this group and every shift they are on just runs the battery down on the Defense. I can’t believe there are not 2 better options in the minors
Panthers score 4 in the third, dominate and take control. Sure would be nice to root for a team like that.
Panthers also give sticks to the fans at the end for each of the 3 stars and get #1 star interview with Katie Engleson, we throw $1 pucks to the fans and interview with Shannon hogan. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Some were discussing Jiricek a few pages back. Yeah…no way we could have paid that price. Not with how our team is constructed…or rather not constructed.

by many metrics, Maclean has been the worst player in the league. I agree we should probably be trying Karlstrom by now
He is truly horrendous but a lot Isles podcasts and social media people give him so much love. I cannot stand it, another AHL player propped up by fans

As a fanbase we tend to fetishize players that ”play hahd”, but I think the results of this season have some people slowly coming around. The fact that Matt Martin hasn’t been given a hero’s welcome for returning is proof of that
The "bottom five" of Cizikas, MacLean, Fasching, Wahlstrom, and Martin is among the weakest groups of bottom six players I remember seeing since Tavares' first few years here.
Figures we'd win on a shutout with that ground zero style outfit.
In general, it's just amazing what's become of Wahlstrom. Downright sad.
Yep, definitely.
And who needs him?
We've got Hutton.
Different vibes down in FLA...
She's engaged - if not already married - to Carter Verhaeghe.

Agreed, we even have some posters here who want to see him further up the lineup!
