  1. Well, no huge surprises there. It felt unlikely Guentzel would be dealt within the division, and the cost for Buch seems high for our FO. I guess we’ll just have to sit here and see what happens all the same!

  2. I can’t tell if Rod’s trolling or being serious at this point.

    In before “but they’re just saying that so that we don’t look desperate, they don’t mean it! Let Don cook!” crowd arrives.

    My guess is that the most likely outcome is that we go to the playoffs with the current team (perhaps plus another role player like Comtois that will stay in the AHL but be available in case of injuries), then hope that the teams that loaded up have issues with the new guys fitting in and contributing (which happens) or injuries or just hit a slump at playoff time while our guys are at the top of their game.

  5. Rod always says ridiculous shit, like with injuries being out a long time and they’re out a week. Rod likes to under promise and over deliver and wants to be safe with respect to players

    Florida, Vegas, Dallas, and other teams making trades really like their group too.

    I know we beat up on GMDW and Rod for saying this but isn’t this the standard answer for most top tier teams in any league going towards a trade deadline?

  8. Mostly just taking this as soft confirmation Guentzel isn’t happening. As negotiation tactics go, signaling you’re willing to walk away with no deal doesn’t really work if the other party has several other compelling offers on the table.

    The latest on Guentzel is Vancouver is making a huge play which means they will absolutely be out bidding the canes.

    Florida probably like their group as well, doesn’t mean they couldn’t make an upgrade with Tarasenko. I really am gonna lose a lot of faith if we don’t make a move for some scoring. Feel like I’m seeing the same thing every year.

    I get what they’re trying to do, not tip their hand, but given the past history with Francis and even last year, maybe don’t drop the meme line unironcially?

    We’ll make a move and it will be one that makes sense for the short term and the long term, I expect nothing different and anybody whining about it has psychological problems.

  16. I thought it was a quote from last year, but what else is he going to say though.

    Any day now, any day now I shall be released 💀

    Same thing than last of couple years we’ll struggling in the playoffs because of lack scoring and lack of physical players. When it’s gonna be physical players like Necas will disappear.
