The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

[Artnes]

Calling it now. Schenn scoring a backbone OT winner in round 1

 

[Wayward DP]

Question, does "Retention" include actual cash? Or is it just the cap hit itself?

both

 

[Hoss]

Looking at Detroit another name to consider would be Kubalik. Signed for 2.5MM for this year and next year, 27 years old and is listed at a RW/LW.

Unless detroit plans to go nuts in the offseason to enter the arms race it would be a good time to consider moving him.

I keep capfriendly open and I highlighted that name as well. I would like a bit more offense

 

[Artnes]

They all keep beating the goalie drum

 

[Hoss]

This line up took Tampa to 7 games last year (yes point was hurt)

But with just the additions of ROR and Acciari, a healthy bunting, not having Kase come back as well from another conky, SHOULD bode well for us.

Not saying it will happen but makes sense. Murray is a total unknown at this point in terms of what if anything he'll be able to do for this team in the playoffs. That's a lotta pressure on Samsonov.

They all keep beating the goalie drum

If we are going goalie would Stalock be out best option? .918% this year in 16 games and on 750k

 

[Artnes]

Its either going to be a cheap plan C or Murray is going back for an upgrade if they go that route

 

[Preston]

Why do they need a goalie? Top 10 save percentage in the league and they have 2 guys that can give them quality starts. Why are you even considering adding a 3rd? For what purpose? There is no one available that's any more of a sure thing than those 2.

 

[Artnes]

The only concern being Murray turning to dust if Sammy starts to struggle.

 

[Hoss]

I'm on the no need for a goalie... although I could take a vet back up for the number 3 spot IN CASE...

But I think Murray is used to the splitting of games and series as he did during his time in Pitt with Fleury.

I play Sammy at home and Murray on the road and keep the boys super fresh.

Autobots.... Roll Out

 

[Artnes]

The media can be a treat

 

[hockeylover]

If we get a third “maybe” option facing Tampa Bay and Samsonov and Murray are such disasters we have to replace them both. aren’t we probably already fucked by the time we turn to guy 3?

 

[mbow30]

Id bring in quick. quick’s BIL is Matt moulson and the godfather of moulsons sons are JT and okposo. Okposo is black and black history month just ended, PLUS he was picked 6 spots ahead of Tlusty, who has the most viewed D in leafs history. It makes perfect sense.

You need Josh Anderson at 96% retention

Yup if they have to turn to a David Rittich to try to save them then it's fucking over. They have their 2 horses, adding a 3rd that will probably be way worse isn't gonna do anything.

 

[Hoss]

Stats can be used to show anything....

 

[Hoss]

Maybe we keep him for just what I said earlier.. Round two.



I know he's no Makar, but the offense generated from the blue line on Colorado was vital. Manson just had to stay back and play defense, clear the front of the net and hit.

 

[MindzEye]

Which is why trend, performance over extended periods, etc is so important in analyzing them.

There's a decade worth of stats showing schenn to be a play chasing plug #6-7 defender. There's 3 months of counting stats showing him as a provider of offence from the blueline.

It’s the give the puck to Hughes effect.
