The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

I'll toss out a fun prediction. I bet they hire Karmanos. He's primarily an analytics guy so maybe that's ok + he has a lot of experience in the league. Idk much else about him tho.
He's like the former owner's kid or something? Not sure I trust the path he took.
 
They should hire this guy


Watching this again... Yeah Dubas wasn't a hockey bro at all. This market broke him. And the way he spoke about Keefe as a progressive coach that 100% bought into his vision is hilarious in hindsight.

And his rant about defensmen that "keep it simple" largely being shit was a good one too, considering the guys he acquired in his latter days. Fuck me.
 
without meaningless shootout win points:

Pre Dubas

'17: 94pts - #11 xgf% 5v5, #11 xgf% ALL
'18: 98pts - #13 xgf% 5v5, #11 xgf% ALL

With Dubas

'19: 100pts - #11 xgf% 5v5, #5 xgf% ALL
'20: 94pts (pace) - #11 xgf% 5v5, #8 xgf% ALL
'21: 111pts (pace) - #2 xgf% 5v5, #2 xgf% ALL
'22: 113pts - #3xgf% 5v5, #2 xgf% ALL
'23: 110pts - #5xgf% 5v5, #6 xgf% ALL

took a good team and turned it into an elite team. the move to eliteness did also coincide with firing Babcock of course.

and there was a bit of slippage this year.
From 21-23 these guys should've been regulars in the cup finals.
