I am nice with no abusive comments made

Two organizations, two coaches.

One has a winning mentality, the other has a loser mentality.

Is Chicago still looking to trade Strome?

I wonder if some taking teams will trade players they wouldn't consider normally because of Bedard and Michkov. They probably should.

Genuinely unsure

Cooper ate his lunch in this series. Our biggest deficit might have been between the coaches.

Most important note. Can't give Jack a starters contract. Not even a Mrazek one really.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

If Jack goes I'm very curious what yhe plan for a Mrazek friend is

 

[Artnes]

Im ok with the move of brining in a new coach but I will be shocked if it happens

 

[Preston]

Get that 2C, Kyle. The biggest struggle this year I found was not having those 2 first lines that we all loved in prior years. JT on the wing moving forward is a must. For me a 2C would be my #1 target.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Slow D Strome at C w slow Tavares at W is interesting

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Strome I yhink helps PP but I'm guessing

The Shanaplan assembles before the media for the annual elimination schmooze tomorrow.

I cannot wait for this.

but on a more serious note...anyone else concerned about Nerd being the one to make major trades?

the league bullies Glasses for fun. don't imagine he's going to get too many favourable offers for Nylander all of a sudden.

 

[Artnes]

no

Firing his good buddy and long-time work partner Keefe would take a level of ruthlessness we just haven’t seen from the nerd yet.

But I’d definitely be OK with it, especially if they replace him with Trotz.

 

[Preston]

Yeah I'm 100% open to trading Nylander if they can get a legitimate really good center who is youngish on some term. I'm just not all that confident they'd get much for him.

I’m fine with letting Campbell walk, but also terrified about who Dubas replaces him with. His track record with goalies is fugly.

 

[Artnes]

Might have to go to an outside source to evaluate a goalie at this point

Obvious deal at the moment is Varlamov. I think the Isles move on him to clear space and add upfront. I can see Lou making a run at Gaudreau or Forsberg

 

[leafman101]

Nylander for Dubois is the Toronto Media wet dream.

 

[Preston]

I’m fine with letting Campbell walk, but also terrified about who Dubas replaces him with. His track record with goalies is fugly.

Only two real options for me are paying for a 32 year old Kuemper (risky risky) or trading a 1st for one year of Varlamov. Anything else looks... Questionable, and can go either way.

So fun that we get to blow up a much much better team than these teams that "know how to win a round".
