Jessie, so right on! It’s time to part with Marcus and strip the C! Dumba will go, don’t keep Klingberg, if we can get rid of Zuc (do it), and Rossi is a concern to me with the amount of time it’s taking him to get the confidence and to make the jump. Kristen is mega invested in MF😮🤔?! Mmmm. I have always been a HUGE Foligno fan, but his performance overall this year and then his behavior and antics in the playoffs… didn’t help his team at all. As a leader he hurt his team in the playoffs and his complaining and whining about the refs was too much. As a leader who kept saying, “we have to control our emotions in the playoffs”… he did the complete opposite. Now Rangers & Gallant just parted ways, I get the coaching contract issues, but I would love for them to get rid of Dean and go grab Gallant.
Wife and I bought named jersey's for first time this year, just to add something different to our sweater collection.
I was wondering what Darby does. He is responsible for face offs. Just as bad as the power play and penalty kill.
I thought I was the only one that doesnt want the expansion teams in the finals .
Trading Rossi makes zero sense. You won't gain any cap flexibility, so let's see what he can do in a full season.
I will never I understand the fixation on who wears the C in this town?!? Leaders come in all different ways. Some of the best leaders I played with never wore a letter, so let's chill.
I think you move Gologoski for sure, that's 2 mil.
Reeves 2 yrs 1mill aav, trade foligno, merril, goose retire, rossi its go time either plays nhl all yr or hes a bust.
I only have 4 jerseys, all named players. Favre packers, jj watt texans, polamalu steelers, verlander astros. When i get a wild jersey probably gonna be my name n my fav number but idk what jersey i want it to be. Thats my hard decision. Do i want the green now, the expansion green, or a future green that comes out eventually
This yr will be the hardest yr of the buyouts. Doesnt mean we cant make the playoffs. Guerin has magic. Next yr is the last yr and will be the easiest. Next yr cap should go up 4mill. Zuccy and foligno off the books along with fleury and goose for sure. Thats 14mill plus 4 in sala cap raise. 18mill to replace them and can get a top free agent or build very deep with more yalent than those players. After that its a jail break
Rossi and Addison both need strength training Big Time! They are underdevloped imo! Addison needs to bulk up as well as hulk up! He is worse than Spurgeon at moving bodies out front! Depth means nothing when you cannot win faceoffs! The Wild Centers are clueless how to win faceoffs! Bye Bye Goal-A-Cough-sky, Bye Bye Foligno, Dumba, Hartman and possibly Zuccarello! Do whatever you can to keep Gus Nyquist. I think you can find Sam Steele's blindfolded on a rainy day! Gus may stay for a 1 year until cap goes up! Keep Reaves…we need an enforcer and head chirper! As well as lead fight theory and applications coach. Dean's pets need to be gone. Develop or bust!!! Hartman is Dean's cruthch! Dean would play him if he had to go out on crutches instead of a developing player!
Sorry, I am not rich enough for frivolous purchases like team jerseys and especially game tickets! I think I pay more than enough just trying to watch games.
Dean's contract is not cap expenditure. Cap is for player salaries. Dean could be gone…just too good of buddies with Billy!
Disappointing yes, did they fail, yes. Not a failure though, they are still developing. Things will change and they will get better. I will continue to be a die hard fan and will always expect the best because “what you think about, you bring about”. I know eventually they will win the cup, the moves and the development Guerin is making will come through!
If you don’t get Gus signed before the draft, trade him because an offer sheet will come that the wild won’t be able to match. There are teams out there that have interesting high potential young centers. McTavish, Hayton, Byfield, Pinto, Necas… BG has done more with less???
Marcus Johansson 2021: $1.5 million with Seattle, 2022: $1.1 Million with Washington, 2023-2024: $2 million per with Minnesota. Johansson played well with Boldy for a month, but was that value compared too what he had been paid? We will see.
Messed around and got the hopes up.
Name Jersey: only for older players that have retired.
