Jarry's also going into his contract year, so they need to carve out $6M or so of cap space for him in the near future if they want to keep him. Ginette Reno posted:I'm not really eager to rush into the tank while Sid still looks this good. They won't be bad enough to get Bedard even if they let everyone go. Sid and Guentzel alone would keep them out of the basement. Well, if everyone walks and Sid

I for one, am happy to see the Pittsburgh Penguins here, and hope to see you here earlier in the years to come. In the end it doesn’t matter, Carolina was gonna wipe the floor whether it’s Penguins or Rangers. Which is good , because both teams can go gently caress themselves.

It probably means Pens management knew Geno wasn't coming back a long time ago. I think I brought this up on the day the Carter extension was signed. I think Blueger might be a fine 2C with decent wingers but that might be a reach.

https://twitter.com/MikeDeFabo/status/1526027232333991937?s=20&t=d70WEkQWXzmilxXZXlAOyw Thought he played pretty well. Better I think than Louis would have. He made some big saves on some of those pks. rex rabidorum vires posted:McGinn is signed for 3 more years? You mean Heinen? Jared McCann. They protected Carter instead of him. Could have kept McCann and extended him.

I think it's near 100% they keep Matheson, trade Pettersson, and look to acquire a cheap LD.rex rabidorum vires posted:McGinn is signed for 3 more years? You mean Heinen? McCann not McGinn, lol.

I'm OK with keeping and extending Kapanen if it's part of a tanking strategy. And I mean imagine a world where your top defensive pairing is Matheson/Marino. In that world you're tanking whether you admit it to yourself or not.

If Geno walks, god speed to him. He gave his best years to a franchise content to give him the leftovers and spun gold out of them. At this point I would understand if somewhere wants to give him the #1 treatment with some star wingers Or if he's ready to do the Datsyuk thing and play at home, all the better. Either way, #71 is his and it will hang in the rafters as soon as he calls it a career

If for some reason they aren't able/willing to sign their free agents you'd think they use that money elsewhere. Not like they're gonna just let 21 million in cap space go unused.

He acquired a bunch of players that played on the Soo Greyhounds for him and they’ve ranged from not bad to good. Don’t ask about most of the rest of the players he’s signed or drafted though.

Did any of the Wings posters here realize that our legendary Swedes were all going by their middle names? I never knew this, and my mind is blown. Erik Lidstrom, Carl Zetterberg, Hans Kronwall. Wild stuff.

Sup. It was fun while it lasted but it's officially over. Really only thing that pisses me off are all the blown leads (in each game and the series overall). No killer instinct does you in.

To the point that when full names are spelled out they indicate which given name is the one they’re called by with an asterisk? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_name This is a good an opportunity to share William Nylander’s full name which is: William Andrew Michael Junior Nylander Altelius

If Jim Nill is still GM for the Dallas Stars in 2023 I'm just gonna stop watching for a while 1 step forward, 3 steps back when it comes to team building is not a recipe for any kind of success.

Crosby playing with Ovie for Dynamo Moscow during the lock out would have been rad as gently caress. They would have torched that whole league. Still bummed it didn't happen.

Stars are kind of locked into being mediocre at best (and probably worse than that) for the next few seasons while Benn and Seguin's contracts bleed off and some of their hyped prospects make the league.. Believe it or not the Stars have stumbled into finding some elite offensive talents of the future in the last couple drafts.. guys that have destroyed the Canadian juniors in scoring at a young age. I think it's kind of serendipitous that the team will have all these anchor contracts expiring 3 years from now (Benn, Lindell, Suter, Faksa.. thanks Nill). The aim should be on competing for a Cup 4 seasons out from now and you do whatever you need to do to rebuild the team in the meantime. Unfortunately we can't pull the chute on these contracts because they are all virtually buyout proof, but they can start down the right path by giving the youth in this organization the reps to get established in this year for once.. stop signing veterans, start building the team around the young talent. I am cognizant that this is like sending up a prayer that Putin and the US will come together to achieve world peace tomorrow, but whatever the first night of the offseason is a good time to dream.

Starsfan posted:Stars are kind of locked into being mediocre at best (and probably worse than that) for the next few seasons while Benn and Seguin's contracts bleed off and some of their hyped prospects make the league.. the Central is in a weird place. I feel like the teams are in three groups: Contenders: Colorado, St. Louis will feel compelled to go for it for the next few years or are at least pot committed due to bad contracts/roster, even if they shouldn't: Minnesota (though I think they will remain the best of this bunch)/Winnipeg/Dallas/Chicago/Nashville Arizona lol Should be a fun couple of years, then who knows. in four years I think the team that bites the bullet and commits to a rebuild will be in the best shape. I think the only ones who might do that are Nashville. I think they might regress hard next year without resurgences from Duchene/Johansen, losing Forsberg, Saros not carrying, and Josi not going insane. I would start it off this offseason IMO.

Not sure what else Crosby still has to play for (record or milestone wise), but the Ovechkin era doesn’t end till he surpasses Gretzky or retires due to injury.

I think the point from the recent Jon Bois/dude from Chapo series on Dave Stieb applies: you'd give up all the records to just play another day*. Crosby's a shoo-in for the HHOF, but he's keeping going just because he wants to never stop as long as he can. Hopefully Game 6 wasn't the end to that. *I think the only counter example to this I can think of is Jagr, who as far as I know from recent coverage is completely done and really just wants off but he can't or his team folds.

Crosby has three more years on his deal after this. I think he'll play those out at least. After that, who knows.
