Yup, pretty much.
If these are rankings, 12 & 13 need to be right up near the top. If D amounts to the same, no hope.

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
Podkolzin I'll give ya, you and I can def agree on that. Got high hopes for him for sure and if/when he makes the jump we're all hoping for, then my outlook on the team will change pretty drastically. That's a big IF. Which only highlights the biggest issue I have and that is we have way too few amm...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
If we get the 'real' Demko back, that alone will be at least a 10 point improvement - our goaltending was horrible last year. We had the REAL Demko in the two seasons prior, amounting to what?? Not to mention on that team was a pretty darn good center who wore a C, took all our draws, and scored so...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
Hirose? Maybe it is ridiculous to see the lanky ex-collegian as the next Tanev, but, uh, what if? Btw, I love this kid. Very bullish on him. And glad you mentioned Tanev because that's how much he reminds of. Back in the day I was telling people to watch out for this lanky Tanev kid and that he was...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
Nucker - yes. Same squad more or less. But, theoretically, a few things. Obviously, full training camp with the new coaching regime, which seems to have definite ideas about how to play. Who knows. It might work. Addition of penalty killers. Larger bodies. No fighting ability per se but should occa...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
Ok now, if I were to be optimistic, I would point to a couple of things. Coaching. The past couple of seasons, I could really feel there wasn't a strong enough emphasis on getting out of the gate strong. The preseasons were lethargic with coaches and players going through the motions. I truly feel t...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
I see no reason they can’t be right in the mix for a playoff spot Which would be the absolute worst place to be if we can't get in. Would mean no selling and stuck with a mid 1st round pick. But hey gotta try right? This is the annual season of optimism because our memory of how much they stunk isn...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
If not there are pieces that can be dealt off for picks and they try again next summer. This is exactly the reason I'm happy about today. Barring some home run trade(s) coming up, can't see any way this team cracks that guantlet of a top 8 in the west. For me it's about collecting free futures at t...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023
Two thumbs way up! Been waiting a decade(s) for a management team to use Free Agent Day to leverage futures. We just bought some chips to play come TDD, likely for no better than 3rds/4ths scraps but who cares, it's free. Just hope we're not caught in that shit zone by then of being between close to...

Re: Draft Day 2023
Maybe so but Ohly was never touted for great feet, especially later in his career, whereas many reports have Willander as one of if not the best skating d-men in the draft, alongside Simashev. That alone has me pretty excited but scouting reports don't always translate to NHL success, as we all know...

Re: Draft Day 2023
Can Willander be the next coming of Mattias Ohlund? That would be a win, win. Yeah, a right-handed version of Ohly would be awesome. Just don't take a puck in the eye. Ohly was great but shutter to think how much better with 100% vision. Slightly different players though based on scouting reports. ...

Re: Draft Day 2023
So... what have going now is better. OK. Let's keep rehashing the same shit the past 3 years over and over again until there's no alternative but to trade Petey and Hughes. I mean that's the path we're going in anyway. So yeah, I'll take your proposal..even though mine was better. Relax, don't take...
