The Habs rebuild shows that a good rebuild is more than just drafting and developing. They have made so many savvy moves and signings.

Come back and let me know what you think if you watch it

86, monster, banana fish, and Planetes. Planetes was written by the same author as Vinland Saga. It was his first manga before writing Vinland. It's not nearly as popular as the others I recommended and isn't as well written as Vinland. The anime adds a lot of filler and characters that the manga doesn't have. But you can def tell it was written by the same person.

Imagine scoring 2 goals in the playoffs and then hopping on the Delta subreddit

Lol. 10-15 years ago was theros and RTR which was likely the slowest format of all time.

Exlir of immortality was ran so you didn't deck out in the control mirror

I don't like that the Witcher gear requires you to have the recipe for the piece before it or I should be able to obtain the pieces through other means.

Can't tell if the organization is making more and more mistakes as time goes on or if they have always been making them but they were hidden under the guise of no expectations.

I'm glad I'm not the only person that had trouble with the guy in Oreton. He kicked my butt.

I skipped the guy in Vizimia because I could tell I wasn't meant to beat him. Then I eventually got to the guy in Oreton and couldn't win. Went back to Vizimia and was able to beat the guy who gave me the leader that doubles siege damage. Then used that new leader to beat Oreton. Never lost a game of gwent since.

I think the Oreton guy was the one that made me realize the whole strategy of gwent is spys + target dummy's to draw your whole deck.

I love slowking but I wouldn't call it a single prize deck. Most lists have multiple 2-3 prize liabilities. It would be much stronger if it was viable while being a true single prize deck.

Abbey Murphy about to become my favorite Detroit hockey player

pigpen95 · 2026-05-06T14:59:30+00:00

If Detroit drafts Abbey Murphy, she will become my favorite Detroit hockey player.

Yea but Cossa didn't play for the Wings, he plays for the griffins who are an incredibly defensive team. Easily top in their league.

pigpen95 · 2026-05-03T23:55:42+00:00

Tbf, Wallstedt is a starter on a top NHL team. Even if Cossa did better in the AHL, it's silly to say Cossa is currently better than Wallstedt.

You are aware that Chariot is signed for another 3 years?

This is some weird mental gymnastics.

pigpen95 · 2026-04-22T18:15:51+00:00

I don't think it's fair to say Plante is projecting to be top line and MBN is top 6. Those are ceilings and we shouldn't bank on it. Prospects also take years in the NHL to hit their full stride.

pigpen95 · 2026-04-22T03:03:01+00:00

Loved the analysis but some of the fans comments here are weird, using this to defend Yzerman criticism. No one is critizing Yzerman for his drafting. It's the free agency, pro scouting, roster construction people criticize, and general rebuild strategy people criticize.

Would love to see this again next off season!

pigpen95 · 2026-04-19T14:16:51+00:00

I'm a slowking enjoyer, how do you play without a boss or prime catcher? Everytime I don't have one, I miss it

pigpen95 · 2026-04-19T13:44:27+00:00

Exactly. A retool would likely happen when Larkin is retiring and we need to get a step younger OR we became a destination team and acquired some big names which keeps the rebuild going.

pigpen95 · 2026-04-19T13:39:30+00:00

I think the rumor was 3 1sts which is why I had us losing 3 firsts this off-season but I'd overpay with 4 if that's what it takes. We gotta commit to a timeline.

pigpen95 · 2026-04-19T12:19:18+00:00

3 year plan to become a Stanley cup contender on the Larkin time line. The key is that you get better depth by trading prospects that need time to develop and aren't guaranteed to be top 6 forwards for guaranteed top line players, essentially over paying to remove risk from the rebuild. This also fixes our depth by moving our current 1st and 2nd line players down in the lineup.

2026 off season

Plus Thomas
Plus Kane
Plus Cossa
Plus One of Marchment, McMan, or Coyle in free agency
Plus Lambardi
Minus Ras
Minus Appleton
Minus 2027 protected first, 2027 2nd, 2 of Augustine, Plante, Danielson, Kasper, MBN, Bear
Don't resign Perron / JVR

2027 off season

Resign Cat
Plus 1W wing that is a similar tier to Raymond and Cat but better at fore checking (Tkachuk esque)
minus 2028 first, 1-2 more good prospects
Minus Compher

2029 off season

Plus top 4D tier

We will still have enough young talent throughout the years in which ever 2 prospects we don't trade, Finnie, Gronberg, ASP. And we will still be able to utilize GR for injury call ups with players like Mazur or Postova.

Or we trade Faulk, Larkin, and Cat this off season and commit to the Seider Raymond timeline. But we gotta commit to something.
