OccamsRazor Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Thank God it's over. Now let's get this rebuild started. And well i have to bid a stand up nice guy luck in the future. Justin Braun sure he is 36 was maybe best suited as just a 7th guy 36 but moved around when need be. Father time had caught up with him as soon as he put the jersey on but he was a good soldier. I am not going to rehash the issues with even bringing him here water under the bridge. No one can ever say he wasn't a good teammate and role model. He won't be the only one not coming back. But i look forward to the future and will leave the negativity to others everyone is entitled to their opinions or complaints. But most of us know this will be a long process and will once again take years to complete. But it starts today. Welcome to all to rants or whatever about the season and it being over can be here...expectations should be tempered for the 2023=24 season and it's outcome.

OccamsRazor Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 I think his first moves maybe extensions for Frost/Cates/York. I hope they go with 3 years tops on all 3. Nothing to really be gained by going longer than that besides maybe painting yourself into a corner. But if i had to give one a longer deal it would be York 5 years tops. Not going to get into specifics of how much per season i would need to do more research which i don't feel like doing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 I can see it shaping up something close to this... 86 Joel Farabee - 14 Sean Couturier - 74 Owen Tippett91 Elliott Desnoyer - 48 Morgan Frost - 11 Travis Konecny49 Noah Cates - 21 Scott Laughton - 71 Tyson Foerster44 Nicolas Deslauriers - 58 Tanner Laczynski - 57 Wade Allison9 Ivan Provorov - 45 Cam York6 Travis Sanheim - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen54 Yegor Zamula - 8 Ronnie Attard 23 Nick Seeler 79 Carter Hart32 Felix Sandström Marginal improvement. Sure i don't know WTF Cam Atkinson is going to fit in and well another conversation for later. I'd love to see them work Bobby Brink into the lineup he is ready too.

No. This team doesnt need "good guys". We have Laughton. We need performers That wasn't too negative. Were it? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachX Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 summation.... JVR contract is up, so they dont sign him and he walks? Hayes can be traded to 12 teams, unless he waives? Braun is gone.? Atkinson can be traded? Laughton (please, please, please) can be traded? Ristangelo can be traded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 What the fcuk ever... ...maybe you should look in the mirror bro and stop being passive aggressive and putting blame on others. From the little I saw he wasn't showing effort and when he did get involved he was just a play killer. Good riddance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Kevin Hayes: "I was an All-star earlier in the year. The second half of the year I don't think I was given the same opportunity, it is what it is." Fletchsy and I built the team with all my lameass pals to suck so bad that they actually picked me for the Allstar game...only because there HAS to be a player from every team. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine goals. -13. "All Star" - You got a participation trophy at a skills competition. Then you had three points in February. With any luck you will go underwhelm someone else next season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will be his 4th team he's underwhelmed himself onto. WTF Fletcher and co. ever saw in this clown (or most of his other cherished procurements) I'll never understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was important to have someone who was in Vigneault's corner so they signed him to a seven year deal to cover the ~2 years Vigneault was here. Plus: He had scored 20 goals once! And 50 points, too! Not in the same year, but it did happen! Had to have the best available second line center who would sign. Seven years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bias for action" "Best available player" "Make a big splash" Sign to indicate your commitment rather than the player's ability Long term commitment to fill a short term hole always pursuing "Make the playoffs and anything can happen" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
