TML? More like FML, amirite? Yet Another Off Season Thread

should be a better defensive team than last season in terms of skaters. Maybe if Tavares bounces back strong, we only need 2 scoring lines.
 
I mean, I’m not sure how you can look at the lineup you posted on the last page and figure that we’ll get much offense out of those bottom-2 lines.

Though I guess it helps your level of faith if you love Kerfoot and believe that “SumYungGuy” turns into a legit scorer with some play driving abilities.
 
They still have to make a trade. It’s not even up to them. Something else has to happen. Gotta believe it includes offense. And Dubie has to throw prospect capital at more offense at the deadline.
 
It's annoying to say when you have 4 elite PPG forwards, but we need a fifth.

Getting that Core 5 would bump everyone who looks a little out of place down one, and gets rid of the weakest player altogether. I've been waiting for this trade since the deadline, don't know if it's coming before the next deadline, but:

Core 5th - Matthews - Marner
Bunting - Tavares - Nylander
Engvall- Jarnkrok - Kerfoot
ZAR - Kampf - NAK

You have to sacrifice on D to make that happen because the scoring has let us down when it mattered every single playoffs so far. And the answer is already giftwrapped in the form of Sandin ready to step in and needing to get a contract, and Muzz being too much of a risk to continue with at that salary. Bring in Sandin as a regular, and trade Muzz and Kerf in some package to get Mr. Core 5th. That's the only way this lameass offseason ends up successful.
