Yah, I think I'm going down to the rink tonight. I'm gonna shoot til I get my fill. And I hope when the teams older, I don't sit around thinkin about it, but I probably will. Just sit back, trying to recapture, a little of the, Dagger yeah. Cups slip away, leaves you with nothing mister, but boring stories of.... Patrick Kane Yah, he'll taxi by Patrick Kane In the middle of a young Toews high Patrick Kane Patrick Kane

Wasnt Ras drafted to be a net front on the pp?

Gustafsson is a much better defender than Gostisbehere, but with a good portion of the offense. I really like Gus and was pitching him for the Wings a few offseasons ago. I think people are going to really like him. I think there's even a chance he plays higher in the lineup than many fans are anticipating. He was an 18 minute a night defenseman on a team that won the President's trophy and went to the Conference finals. Clearly he's not a liability in the same way Gostisbehere was. As for Copp and Compher, I think both of those guys are really great and can be big parts of a Cup contending team...just not down the middle. For instance, if Compher gave you 50ish points as a 2nd-3rd line complimentary winger (opposite guys like Kane or Dcat) would anyone be mad that he's making 5 million? Same with Copp. I can see those guys being defensively responsible wingmen for more offensively minded linemates but still able to hold their own in the o-zone.

Still need that 2nd primo play making center. Love Copp and JTC but they are not fit to run a top6 down the middle on their own. Ghostbear is so bad at defending there was no way he was coming back. Gustafsson is the same style, but I'm hoping the reason his scoring has dropped the last few years is bc he's more committed to defending... hoping

I agree offersheets are not a good idea. What would it cost to get Nikishin out of Carolina? Id think a lot but man itd be fun to watch Nikishin-Seider as the top pair for the next decade.

Swedes are in this "We're lazy eyed regards with ties to the SS, so don't mess with us or our women" state right now. Finns are like "We're closer to being Russian than Scando gard looking right now, so keep your tall blondes locked away, Svens" state right now. Veegees are like "We're Veegees. We like trolls." The SCAM just wants players with a good work ethic. If one eye is staring over your right forehead, that's ok. If you're checking under rocks after practice, that's ok. If you're drinking Vodka with your 1/2 Fedorov / 1/2 Selanne Ducks jersey on, that's ok too. yup. If it's anything like the Yzerplan, we won't see the Ducks in the playoffs until 2034.

Why can’t we have all of them? Move Zegras to the wing when Nate and Marco are ready for all I care. We are STILL one Larkin injury away from a disaster and Zegras can insulate us from that for a bunch of pieces we don’t need.

Please no. Zegras would get killed in the playoffs. I would much rather have Kasper in that lineup spot and have Danielson being the Zegras of our future.

I get it man, but still, you poke the nest and down the road you get poked back when Danielson and others get offersheeted just under the amount to give up any real compensation yet enough to force us to make a decision we don't want to make. As a team that's on the way up with an above average prospect pool, this strategy could really hurt us in the end IMO.
