The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

I can see arguments for certain guys in our D to stick around - you're not going to get rid of every single guy - but neither do I think they'll come back with *all* of Rielly, Tanev, McCabe and OEL.

They're not "coming back" with Tanev this year, they're adding him.

Really liking the energy McKenna brings.

Might be good for Auston to have a legit little bro to look out for.

There is going to be a big trade, but until it happens there is no trade.

I wonder if part of the Knies calculation is that his counting stats will go down if/when McKenna takes his spot on the PP

If not for a lingering injury, Knies would have taken another step last season, and we are on the cusp of his 4th year breakout. 60pts is not his ceiling, and top powerplay or not, he'll get his minutes and points in the top 6.

There's a poop inside me and it really feels like it's going to be a poop, but until I poop there is no poop.

Or it's just a lot of hot air

based on what we've seen so far it looks like it will be the other way around..

..right? But but these might be the last toots before the train leaves the station!
