The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

Alright...so I guess we eventually look like this:

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Nylander
Engvall-ROR-Acciari
Kerfoot-Kampf-Lafferty
ZAR
Or if we keep ROR-JT together, like this:

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Tavares-ROR-Nylander
Engvall-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Kerfoot-Acciari-Lafferty
ZAR

Rielly-Brodie
Gio-Lilly
McCabe-Holl
Sandin
No love for Timmins
 
it makes sense for those sports because draft picks quickly lose value after the top 5-10 slots

in football, even a late first rounder is usually a plug and play starter that is relatively cheap for the next 5 years

NHL is pretty similar after the 12-15 picks though.

Yeah, I can get down with that

Rielly-Lilly getting the offensive zone starts and Matthews shifts on the fly
McCabe-Brodie getting the heavy lifting with JT-ROR-Willy
Gio-Holl getting the swiss army knife usage and probably shit thumping it.
I really like what I am seeing in terms of offense and defense from Lilly and Gio.

If Holl is gone in a deal, I won't be too upset. I think the pair of Gio and Lilly is the best bet. Then I do the Mcabe Brodie pair.

That unfortunately leaves Sandin with Reilly. Don't like that.

Maybe Kerfoot and Holl can go to Van for Garland and Schenn.
 
No love for Timmins

Lots of love for him, but he's 8th on the depth chart right now. Signed cheap for 2 more years so he'll get his chance to stick. It's not this playoffs though barring injuries.

Our blueline is deep as fuck though. Sandin-Timmins are our #7-8 and they're top top tier 3rd pairing.

McCabe could definitely be a Holl replacement. Yeah, I could see that scenario work. Garland with some retention + Schenn for Kerfoot + Holl + stuff. Schenn becomes #6-7
 
maybe not the deal I wanted, but McCabe at 2 million is a good Holl(UFA) replacement. don't know Lafferty at all but he can't be worse than Simmonds or an AHLer.
 
This means we have the 2024 first rounder.. do we not???

I could see Sandin and the 2024 first bring in something hella interesting. But now we are getting a bit greedy methinks.

I would nut like ME for Garland and Schenn... OR Crouse

If they actually pull this off I'm building a Dubas statue in my front yard. Even if it leads to 0 success, I don't give a fuck. That would be cool and fun as shit.

Something to keep in mind re: Lafferty is that his contract is just under the maximum you can send to the AHL without cap penalty. So if he turns out to be shit, we're not tied to him. Throw him and on waiver and if he clears, off to the Marlies with no cap consequences. Timmins is in the same boat there fwiw.
 
I like how fucking strong this McCabe guy holds up defensively in all these nerdy charts despite getting ridiculously tough usage on an absolutely tire fire team. I know that these models don't really put enough weight on usage so I'm very happy to see that. Hope his play can translate well to a new system.
