2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

[MindzEye]

Will be interesting to read some of the stories that inevitably are going to surface now that Mitch is gone, especially in light of what's already been leaked.

Me, waiting for those stories

 

[MindzEye]

Odds of him writing a tell all book when he retires?

Big OJ energy

 

[Feyd]

It is kinda odd the trade call is taking this long tho, no?

 

[MindzEye]

Fix that molasses D a little

The D isn't a bunch of burners by any stretch. But style of play was at least as big of an influence on the lack of D production imo. When your transition is stretch passing/chip and chase, and you never pinch because something something be safe, the D isn't going to be very helpful in generating offensive production.

or did i just miss it?

so they could waive Reaves again, and have about $7m in capspace to add another forward.

that's the simplest thing to do.


Or they could dump all of Kampf, Krok, and Reaves, and have this cap situation, to add two forwards:

Don't put Danza on the first line. It just accentuates how much worse we suddenly got.

Marner gone and Panthers out is not a pretty sight.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

or did i just miss it?

Nope. Still not official for some reason.

hey i've been posting Matthews lines without Mitch or Willy on them for a long time.

I loved the Bert-Matthews-Domi line 2 playoffs ago.

 

[Feyd]

Maybe Mitch just bumped his ask to $13M

Knies - matthews - domi is my 1st line barring anything dramatic happening.

 

[Preston]

Is danza going to be a thing?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Possibly, not sure yet. I hate his name though because it reminds me of that. Very unhockey.

 

[Preston]

Holy racist

 

[zeke]

how does maccelli remind you of danza.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Kampf is Czech.

Maybe he is from the Sudetes ?

 

[zeke]

puckpedia has Marner's contract as just a flat $12m salary every year. no frontloading, no bonuses, and no NTCs.

Makes me think of veal parmagianna

but they tweeted that there's lots of frontloading, bonuses, and a full NMC.
