Cossa was always gonna take longer to develop than Wallstedt. But clearly, management sees a higher ceiling with Cossa, which is why I have always also been Team Cossa. I do look forward to the meltdown when Wallstedt shows NHL success first though.

Vegas is a gong show, Peg can't keep players. I guess Philly would fall under gong show too. I like Stevie's chances tbh.

Trotz. Get er done.

We need to fill that Savoie bandwagon. He'll fall to us because of his size, then become the next Brayden Point.

Hronek for #7 lmao. They do seem to lack intelligence over there.

You're totes gonna owe him. Nurse gonna get suspended lmao. Oilers gonna oiler.

Extend Bert for like 3 years then Bert for 2OA straight up. Devils wanna compete now. Give them Bert's prime years for the pick. If they don't like it, fine. They can just suck again.

Habs and Devils could very well win it again next year. The 5-year rule doesn't factor in any lottery wins before yesterday.

Trotz

I'm pretty much in agreement with this. And because of the way he plays, I do not think his production is sustainable as he gets older. But someone got to pay the f*** up for him to get moved. Either a Mantha-level fleecing or getting a younger, high-end player in return. Obviously, the latter involves giving up more than just Bert. But Bert is probably a big enough piece to prevent having to give up a first-rounder.

Pray for Bedard or Michkov. That's what.

Yeah, moving Bert would have to be for a great haul. Otherwise, there is no point. On the flip side, his value will likely never be higher than it is now. Especially if border restrictions f*** off before next season.

I still think using Bert and something like a 2nd rounder in a 3 way deal to land Chychrun would be awesome. I love Bert, but do have concerns about his style of play in the longer term. Even just this season there was a huge difference pre and post-all-star game.

We'll have very few good, young players who still need to learn how to succeed at the NHL level combined with a whole lot of plugs to fill out the roster. I don't really see what is so unfair about that. At best Edvinsson comes in and is as good as Seider in his first year and we're closer to a .500 team. I'm not saying this roster is gonna regress next year. I simply think teams around them will also improve, and some will pass them in the standings. When looking at ROW and goal differential, this team is well in the bottom 5.

We're gonna be bad anyway, but yeah, new coach for sure. At least let's be competitive in losses. I do think we finish lower in the standings next year than this. But we flirt with playoffs the season after. I expect it to be Detroit, Arizona, Philly, and Chicago in the Bedard/Michkov sweepstakes.
