The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

The frustration likely stems from being a physical beast and being charmin soft. From all accounts he is supposedly a gym freak and super strong
 
It's so fucked up that he dropped Engvall.

He got Acciari, he has Holmberg, Lafferty can play center. Matty, Tavares, ROR, and even Willy can all play center. Total of SEVEN great to serviceable centers.

Why in the fuck do you drop the big smooth winger who can score 20 and keep Kampf at center with his amusing offensive faceplants? This might be the most puzzling thing Dubie has ever done. I can't make a lick of sense from it.
wait Pierre has never scored 20 or come particularly close, has he?
 
Lately I'm thinking more about these things from the player's standpoint, probably with age, and it must fucking suck for Engvall.

Drafted by the team, moved up the ranks, survived years in the process of proving himself, became a very good player with the ability to score in a depth role, and plays for one of the best teams in the league which is loading up for a big playoffs, and NEEDS offensive depth.

And he's traded to the Isles for a fucking 3rd rounder. I would be crushed. I'd be like fuck this league and every team in it.

meh, he can still try to cash in this offseason.

and not like NY is much of a downgrade from living in TO, especially when you are affluent.

but yeah, for the true competitor, this would really suck. he hasn't really even shown that edge though.
 
15 last year, 12 this year with very limited PP time. Playing 3rd line minutes. Close enough for me.
15 is 3/4 of 20.

the closest he has come to being a 20 goals scorer is... 75% of the way...

you are much more generous than I.

by this math, Antropov was almost a 40 goal scorer! and to think we had him artificially capped at 30.
 
Was never true even for a day. When it was finally all said and done, some of you finally realized how stupid a stance that one was.

Third line minutes. Play him on the second line with Tavares and Mitch/Willy and see what happens. There’s also still 25 games left this year.
 
I don’t know about you guys but I remember clearly that Engvall was driving Tampa nuts for couple of games in the series and suddenly something changed, guy just stopped
 
Can I just clarify something? If the plan is to bring in an upgrade, would you guys actually still be upset with moving Engvall? Like are your reactions based on them being done?
