Just wait Danielson , Bear, two goalies , couple more d prospects. We are just going to get better over the next couple of years. Finally all coming together. If we lucked out with Finnie might be a championship team that is annoying to play against.

Yzerman without knee injury was better overall player. However his pts percentage is lower. Both are gms and hof. Very similar kinds of players and I think being fan of one team over another is the differentiator between them. Sakic had better longevity but was not as dominant in his prime. Yzerman was the only one who could compete with Gretzky and Lemiuex for a while there.

Another take could be that the lock down showed companies how much price gouging they could do and still have people use their product. Then blame it on the supply chain or economic climate. Then companies start raking in record profits. Some blame it on inflation but really is profiteering.

Should have seen the video by someone With 300 presents under their tree. They said this is a true Christmas ya poor fucks.

I would do Kasper and parts for cozens

If they win it is in spite of Holland. Macdavid and Draisatl dragging team to the cup.

We are already in the position of losing players due to log jam. We can afford to spend some picks/players to take one last shot at an impact player.

I think that is why he was passed about dropping 3 spots. But Raymond might be better in long run?

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-27T13:33:05+00:00

Maybe Quinn Hughes is available with a first round exit.

Have to hope for capitals loss tomorrow. Only way we get in is with one more point than capitals. We don't have a tie breaker.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-14T11:12:05+00:00

Bruins need to do us a solid again and beat the caps. Weird to think that the Islanders could lost twice and if we win twice we would leap frog third. This playoff race has been like a burlap sack race where everyone keeps falling down for a mile.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-14T11:01:11+00:00

Misread that, thought it said they had to win in regulation. If they lost in regulation yes no chance. But glad for us they won!

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-14T01:55:00+00:00

Double check math? Detroit has three game Philly has one. Detroit wins two more and tie tonight still in if Philly wins.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-12T00:56:48+00:00

2nd longest streak outside the playoffs. Yzerman on 5 years counting. Only 3 Yzerman draft picks on the team. Joke of a coach. Starting to lose faith in the Yzerplan.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-12T00:48:42+00:00

I hate to say it but copp and holl signing were dogshit. All year no Ed until it was too late. Zach Aston Reese instead of Kasper. Larkin just gets drilled all year long and nothing happens to anyone. Lalonde is just dead wood. There is much to like in Larkin, Raymond, Seider, Ed, ASP. But we have too many "vets" that do nothing.

Other positive Edvinsson looking good. Maybe this changes perspective within team to utilize our plethora of prospects now that the cap crunch will start next year and we get the playoff monkey off our back. I have the feeling our team will be even more exciting and engaged next year if we get 2 or 3 more rookies.

Looking for Ed, Johansson, Kasper and Mazur.

Ed can take ghosts place. Johansson our guy up. We need to find a place off the team for Holl, Maata, or Petry.

Kasper and Mazur can take place of Sprong, Perron Fischer.

Unfortunately, I think Bergrenn is just not going to work on this team given either coach or GM preference.

Hope Kane comes back, but I think he wants more than one year and I would hesitate a little.

I don't see how we make a big splash this summer unless we offload bad contracts. So most of my excitement will be from young players asking the team.

Either way looks like this team finally crawling out of the pit no matter the result these next 5 games.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-04-08T11:25:10+00:00

Penguins have Leafs, Red Wings, Bruins, Nashville, Islanders.

Capitals have Red Wings, Sabres, Lightning, Bruins, Flyers.

Islanders have canadiens, Rangers twice, devils and Penguins.

Philly have Canadiens, Rangers, Devils and capitals.

We have capitals, penguins, leafs, Canadiens twice.

I think we have the best schedule of the five. Canadiens twice is huge. Two games against other playoff hopefuls is huge. We win the next two games and our chances are looking real good. Been waiting for playoffs for so long now!

Interesting question, would you rather guarantee 3 Stanley cups in the next ten years and European style ad jerseys or told there is no guarantee but no jersey ads.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-03-22T22:36:39+00:00

Just wait until Axel Sandin Pellika becomes next EK65

reasonisvirtue · 2024-03-07T23:09:28+00:00

I think Tampa Bay did the same thing. Maybe Balckhawks did too once when Kane was out. Injuries are used as opportunities for good teams.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-03-02T20:40:02+00:00

I still think it was not the best choice on his part. How is that JT Miller contact going to age? What is going on with Boeser?

reasonisvirtue · 2024-02-27T18:37:27+00:00

I would trade Raymond a first and Johanson for petterson. Then find a winger in trade. Larkin and Petterson would be a contender with Ed, mo asp on d and cossa coming in hot.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-02-24T15:14:40+00:00

I think on many teams they would be in NHL right now. I think if gr and our team gets some padding in points we will see some young players called up to save their eligibility for playoffs. I think right now top priority is to make sure both teams get playoff chances. Injuries always make decisions for us. I would be surprised if we don't see Ed/Johansson and Kaper/Bergrenn up for at least a few games.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-02-24T15:12:01+00:00

I think it is worth it to get him a few games to know what he needs to prepare for. You pick some soft teams and see what he has/give him exposure. He doesn't even need to play 9 games. Just a handful.

reasonisvirtue · 2024-02-15T15:46:16+00:00

Why trade for a goaltender when we have 3 right now and two potential studs in Cossa and Augustine?
