The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

Faceoff wins are nice, but producing offense is another thing. Kampf can't do that. Spezza can't really do that much, and we'd be insane to rely on him to do so. Nylander isn't really a center anymore, and if he moves over then wing become empty.

I mean, we can get by, but we're certainly significantly weakened and super vulnerable if one of the top two guys gets hurt. We just saw ourselves lose to a shitstain team last year when one of them was lost to us. A team we would've swept out had that not happened. Talk about fortunes swinging 180 degrees the other way.

We can't let it happen again. In my view, C is the top need going in. Because if you get the C, you push more talent to the wings and solve that issue indirectly, even if Robertson can't stick. We don't really need a D because Lilly and Sandin should be given a chance to swim (they won't sink), Dermott and Babushka are there too now, and if you're rolling with Muzz you just have to take him for what he is, which is unreliable and not all that good anymore. The goalie thing is a gamble either way, so stick with what you have (unless you can get a cheaper equivalent to Mrazek), and don't waste assets on a shakeup at that position.

We're in a good spot. We just have to rely on the guys to deliver what they're capable of. We're not out shopping for a 1C because Matty has to deliver. Same with G - Campbell has to deliver.

It has nothing to do with winning face offs. Starting Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner in the dzone on 50% of their shifts is a bad use of assets.
 
Yes, I would like to have a stanley cup winner as a goalie for this run, but if we can rid ourselves of Mrazek's deal for something besides a goalie... I really want to see what Anton Forsberg could be had for... he's making 900K.. is a pending UFA no? and his numbers against TB/FLA/BOS are really good.

Get him for a cheap price.. and resign him next year if you can for like 1.5 and then see what happens to Soupy...

If he comes in and beats whomever we play in the first round. Sign him as the starter next year.
 
So is Dubas really going to let a couple of inconsistent backups ruin a Hart Trophy season from his best player?

Are we really Edmonton East?

tune in at the deadline to find out...
 
Hes a smart dude and thats a death sentence if he does so that gives me hope he makes a move

It might take an asset to clean up the mess that is Mrazek but it gets done

whoever it is they get in that scenario might have to start. Jack looks cooked.

Jack showed signs of coming around tonight. He was still bad, but he looked a lot more like good Jack for long stretches of the game than bad Jack.

His positioning and rebound control were still meh. Think it was more the leafs really really limiting like any kinda chances so the saves were just so so so basic outside the two really bad chances against

He can't. We've already won nothing after a few years. Something will have to be done.
