I expected multiple cups when we got Lindros. I also expected to win the cup when we got Pronger. In fact I was sure of it.

Pronger nearly happened and bad luck took him from us too soon.
Let’s hope! Waiting for the day he leaves so we can mock the organization. Maybe 8 -10 years from now. But we’ll get the last laugh.

We could be 4 months away from
MM Cates Hathaway.
If that doesn’t tighten your shorts nothing will.

I am not commenting on the potential impact Torts will have on Michkov, as I don't think any of us can say for sure at this time. He would be great in his system, but we can't know how they will get along.John Tortorella turned Martin St. Louis into Martin St. Louis.
One can only guess what would he turn Michkov into
However, despite both sharing the characteristic of being undersized players, Marty isn't a great comparison. Their play style is similar enough, but MSL's developmental path was very unique. MSL was not a projected top talent. He was an undrafted free agent who played a full 4 years at UVM prior to going pro. Nobody projected greatness from him. He had to grind to even earn the opportunity to play at the next level. Guys projected to go early 1st from younger ages like Michkov have very different mentalities. I think Michkov's mentality is more in line with guys like patty kane/Ovi/Eichel/Lindros/etc than a dude who's whole career prior to breaking out was a giant "Earn it" system.
Michkov's mental development path likely has more in common with Vinny Lecavalier than it does MSL. Different players and play styles, but both were projected top picks with big expectations. Vinny thrived under Torts, Vinny like many former Torts players also voiced strong dislike for Torts at times.
We will see how it goes. Should be fun

Don't worry, they signed Fedotov to help with the tanking thing.

I really just don’t think they make a splash. Next year maybe, this year I doubt it

Year 3 out of 3 year rebuild. Briere playing 4d chess when he tanked for Michkov. Also let's not forget he did best he could with potential 50 goal top line center Cutter Gauthier immediately improving defense, powerplay and getting a young roster player back.
