GDT: SlugHawks @ Stars, 07 Nov 2024, 7 PM CT

[Salvaged Ship]

Donato Bedard Teravainen
Bertuzzi Foligno Hall
Kurashev Dickinson Mikheyev
Maroon Reichel Smith

Next game boom genius

And we will still lose 3-1 unfortunately

Should, realistically, probably not. Not many teams who are torn down to the studs are competitive in less than 5 years.

I don’t expect them to be competitive for say a WC spot next year, but we need to see improved performance at least via the eye test. This is year 4 of basically being terrible. Plenty of picks have been accumulated the last few years and more to come.

Allan, Dach, EDM
Korchinski, Nazar
Bedard, Moore
Levshunov (long shot)
Top 3 pick

These are all guys that we are going to start to need to see something from. Not asking them to jump in and be all stars from day 1, but push out bums like Maroon, Mikheyev, etc.

It's year 4 of being terrible, but really only year 2 of the plan.

Allan, Dach, EDM, are going to be at best depth players more than likely,
Nazar probably needs a year or 2 before he's a legit NHLer, if he can be that.
Korchinski is probably a couple of years minimum from being a really good Dman, if he becomes one.
Moore who knows,
Lev is like 3 years away.

It's not going to improve much next year, and the year after, we hopefully improve, but probably still a bottom 10 team.

How I see it going
24-25 = Bottom 5
25-26 = Bottom 7-10 - Some prospects take a leap, but still need seasoning
26-27 = Bottom 12 - Couple more prospects take a leap, 1 or 2 take a big leap
27-28 = Bottom 15 - Have the core figured out, last year of Jones shit contract/sign big UFAs to fill out the team
28-29 = Playoff team, learning how to win in the playoffs
29-30 = Legit contender

5 more years until we can be a top contender? Okay

5 more years of being bad? Management has been cleaned out from Davidson to the scouts. We have a ton of cap and a ton of assets. Five more years of being terrible when we have a piece like Bedard and now Vlasic locked up on a sweetheart deal is comical

What are we Arizona? Last I checked we spend to the cap and don’t lack resources.

Hawks have 10 first round picks in a 4 year span. Tons of cap.

Hawks probably have two more years of non playoffs. This year and next. After that if Davidson doesn’t make the playoffs in year 5 he’s shit canned

Are you just assuming that we never use our assets? We have too many prospects/picks and not enough roster spots. We will package multiple of these picks or prospects for a star player in the next year or so. He already took a swing at Guentzel

Don’t be down on the depth. Those guys play an important role in good teams. You don’t want to end up like Edmonton either where if your big 3 players don’t go god mode every game, you lose because your team has no depth.

Year 4? .... more like year 7. It just took a few years before Stan (and many here) realized the team was on their way down even though the writing was on the wall as far as I was concerned.
