The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

This is the first time Keefe has been this bullish on his team. Lotta complaining last year despite their great record and 2 years ago was just not a very consistent season in general. I'm going to get hurt again... I realize this. But this year is just different. They're better and aren't showing a lot of the red flags they showed in the past.
 
I’ve seen a couple red flags in some games I’ve watched this year but it coincides with the games where it’s been “let em play” hockey. Unfortunately, the style of the playoffs.

If picking up Halak is paired with Mrazek getting dumped somewhere, I’m all for that idea.

Yeah, it would be a bit much to have three NHL goalies. But then again, if we can get him retained and basically have him count for a couple bucks on the cap by the deadline, I'm all for it. Can't be overinsured.

Definitely super Leafy to have the best season in your history and get rewarded with a matchup against the two time champ.

And yeah, someone check on Keefe because he might be having a stroke saying positive things like that.

Best finish in franchise history...and a date with the two time defending cup champ in the first round. What in the actual fuck.

Agreed that extra goalie insurance is great, especially when the next man up is Michael Clutchinson.

I just have an irrational need to see Mrazek’s cap hit of $3.5M for the next two seasons disappear as soon as possible.
 
Good news! You don't have to see $3.5M beside his name as soon as right now, because it's actually $3.8M!

And yeah, I'm not a fan. Looking like a major waste of money so far. That third year puts a Marleau stench on this deal.

Kampf as 3C is no bueno when playoffs roll around. They gotta get someone because it’s not like all those guys will be healthy anyway and heaven forbid Matty or Tavares go down.

the guy that was a great 2C in the playoffs last year I have slotted in on the wing on one of those two "3rd lines".
 
We’re short one more really good forward unfortunately. We will need to spend to get it, and Robertson is a prime candidate to go the other way.

Considering his ability to turn defensive zone face-offs into offensive zone pressure/face-off for lines 1 or 2, he's the perfect 3rd liner. Keep giving him the difficult minutes and give Matthews/Tavares lines the O-zone starts.

You gotta be prepared for a Matty or Tavares injury imo. That's the top concern. If you add another big time forward, you're covered, and Kampf can move down and you utilize him a little more sparingly/selectively than just trotting him out with the third line all game long. He's just too useless offensively for that come playoff time, especially since our top guys have a habit of going cold.
