Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | If Babcock is Our New Coach Will Players Want to Come Here?

Sloth to Fla. Wow

So I guess Ottawa is rebuilding then?

Can't compete with these kinds of super teams basically, Connor is probably going to have to go elsewhere and join one of them to win the Cup he wants.

Just gonna enjoy next year as a way to watch two top players in the league for however much time is left, but no way idiots like Bowman and Jackson are equipped to manage the team when competing teams are doing this.

The ante is getting raised way too high.

Canadian superstars need to stop being naive and use their power in the same way. Gather around McDavid in Edmonton and win one for Canada. Your American rivals aren't pretending that it's a fair competition anymore.

The window is officially closed for me.

Huh?

Canadian players don't care about that shit.

McDavid will likely have to go to Florida or Vegas or something himself inevitably.

The Sea of Mid.

I’d rather Tuch

 

[McHelpus]

Huh?

Blow it up

 

[Soundwave]

Matthews will be next going to Vegas or some shit in a year I'd bet.

 

[Del Preston]

Brady is overrated af. The Sens are better off not having to deal with the off-ice circus with that family.

 

[North]

Blow it up

What a ridiculous take.

He's a top end power forward even if people don't like him ... there's no way Florida isn't substantially better now.

They have pride, just played 3 intense games against their American rivals, and aren't that naive. There will be a response at a certain point.

Of the choices listed I much prefer Brady staying in the east and not joining Minny or Vegas. I also prefer the Panthers burning their best trade chips on a winger, which they absolutely did not need.

It's nice when you can concentrate all the hatred in one space.

That Florida team has a good shot at being better than either 2024 or 2025.

I think the Sens realized this too.

They basically had the leverage since Brady is signed long term and got a solid deal out of it. They did him a favour by sending him to Florida.

 

[McShogun99]

American players keep running home. This was always the plan for the Tkachuks.

Time for Canadian superstars to read the room and do the same.

It will never happen anytime soon. There’s to many perks for players when they play and live in the States.

If they add a goalie, look out.

Not without a superstar goalie like Bob, let’s not forget how close we came to almost beating them with a plug like Stuart Skinner in our net. Marchand and Ekblad are not getting any younger plus the wear from three Finals runs is already hampering them.

Too many players like the anonymity of playing in the States.

It’s weird. Other pro athletes love the spotlight and the attention and so many hockey players would rather slide by.

It’s partly why the NHL has marketing problems.

They'll get it done. Same way Vegas added Andersson to shore up the blue line.

I’ll be generous and give them Jarry.

2024 was our shot I think, 2025 we had no real shot, they destroyed us in game 5 and 6 and were too deep for us, add another Tkachuk with more size and it is what it is.

I'm going to enjoy next season just looking forward to some good hockey from McDavid and Drai because it probably could be a long time before there are players that good playing in Canada again.

 

[McHelpus]

What a ridiculous take.

Oilers are not beating the panthers. They can't even beat the Ducks lol.

 

[CupofOil]

Same teams as always adding the top players. Florida, Carolina, Dallas, Vegas, Tampa, Colorado. Yawn
