The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[Preston]

Twisted his neck looking over his shoulder and realizing he's about to be traded, maybe.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If he is, what are they waiting for?

If he is, what are they waiting for?

I'm mostly just dreaming I think. I don't really understand what their plan is if they choose to keep him though. Having a cap situation as tight as it will be by keeping him sorta sucks balls.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I guess Timmins injured buys them some cap space and time to deal with Jarny? But I thought we were over by $2m, so don’t we need to shed more?

 

[Preston]

They're gonna have to roll with a very tight roster. Which means Reaves is gonna get in every game. Which is not ideal.

 

[leafman101]

They can afford to keep a 20 man roster. With Timmins out that means they can keep 12 forwards/don't have to waive timmins.

 

[leafman101]

If they traded Krok they could keep 3 extras, and it would be way easier for guys like Robertson and Kokkonen to make the team, and Gio/Reaves wouldn't have to play every game.

Why would you be intrigued in fourth line trash playing on the Tavares line?

Because tavares arguably has been at his best in hia career with trash grindy wingers.

He would have been a beast with Antropovarovski

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Is that what you call Marner and Nylander?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Our mistake all this time was not playing Tavares with Simmonds and Clifford apparently.

Clifford might be too fast.

 

[Hoss]

Maybe JT can turn Lafferty into Matt Moulson

 

[Preston]

Lee-Tavares-Bailey was a terrific line. He does well with diggers. But then, Vanek-Tavares-Okposo was insanely electric for the short time they were together.

 

[Feyd]

Beast mode JT in 2018-19 was 3 shy of 50G

 

[zeke]

Is that what you call Marner and Nylander?

Certainly hasnt been at his best with nylander.

Was a Hart finalist with Strome and Okposo.

 

[Preston]

Oh yeah he turned Moulson into a player too.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Wasn't Moulson at his peak a PP vulture?

 

[leafman101]

It would be disappointing if Lafferty makes the top 9 over Robertson at this point. He's literal garbage. I mean fast garbage sure, but still.

 

[Preston]

If Robertson doesn't make it I oddly won't be too angry. Just go down to the A and fucking dominate and he'll be up in no time. Not too difficult to bury Lafferty. I'm more concerned about playoff lineups vs game 1 of the season tbh. A lot more concerned.
