The moneys spent, that would Ice the best squad possible in my opinion. Thats what’s important

Ive been listening to a few podcasts who all say Nate making it out of camp to be our 2C is a legit thing. I would love if this happened, also makes line 3 more of a threat at the same time because I love JT & Copp together. Then Nate with Kane and Tarasenko? Yes please. A kid and 2 old goats line

From everything I’ve seen it would appear that despite all (some) of the people who think the Yzerplan is off course the powers that be are happy. This is because they are getting better ever year, once there’s regression there’s reason for concern. The plan this season ultimately has to be to make the club better for the future, but a couple smart moves here and our guys start the winning culture now. For what it’s worth I fully believe they will make the playoffs this next year but I’m also a huge homer so there’s that. One can dream

Well played sir!

I remember this. I’m definitely not opposed to bringing back Perron on a hopefully cheapish hit. He’s one of our most consistently vocal players apparently!

I think what I'll miss most about Kaner is that swagger he brought, Yzerman touched on it lightly. It was a swagger like "ya we got this" and it was so refreshing for this group who had struggled so much, especially with confidence....THAT being said despite Kane our confidence crumbled and we missed the playoffs because of that blunder so lol I still hope he comes back but it's starting to seem like you are correct and he's as good as gone.

I hope you’re right. I hope he does also. Obviously. I can see both sides of it, but I agree Cat is a bigger part of his life than we realize. I was listening to the newest winged wheel podcast and they were saying the same thing, how it’s a thing to see Kane & DeBricats young children together and how POTENTIALLY, potentially this translates into this is Patrick Kanes home now and he will hopefully stay for many of these reasons. Again that’s all wishful thinking at the end of the day. People keep saying how Kane may not stay because we still won’t be in a cup window. But at 4 years I think we will certainly be trying. We must make the playoffs next year. We have to, look at what this team has done. To start this season the entire world was betting against them. Even at the end of last season Buffalo and Ottawa were the favourites to be the new comers knocking on the door. Then after free agency in the summer The Yzerplan was lambasted by many for the first time. This season starts and we’re the underdogs from the get go but came in hot, even became so exciting to watch they quickly were people’s favourite team to tune into because they kept having these crazy comebacks. Then we sign Kane and everyone was pretty reserved with how he’d play. I thought he’d be hurt in no time, but the dude played. He’s so dynamic and confident with the puck, one of those rare elite players that visibly commands respect when the pucks on his stick. Even at 35 years old. That moment of his in Chicago was so electric….This year going in this team I would think should be favourites to get in. I can’t for the life of me see how losing Kane, Ghost & Sprong gets this done. Put Berggren in because obviously Sprong is walking. But my gosh the other two are hard to replace. With either one do we have as much magic? Because when this team came together and played as best as they could they were very much a magical hockey team to watch.

I actually quite like Yzermans explanation as to why he doesn’t like to keep bringing up these kids and sending them down. Stay there, play well & succeed. One’s gotta hope that at very least Holl & Petry hopefully get moved somehow? Waived, traded, bought out. I don’t know the repercussions of waiving or buying out but can’t be much worse than having them at our blue line. Ghost I hope stays, he plays such a different role on D for us, but I know his asking will be high. One thing that very much made me nervous was Yzermans talk on goaltending. Noted too much pucks went in our net but thought goaltending was good and full team defence was not. Maybe I just took it that way? But I was really hoping to pull a Hail Mary for Swayman or what might a trade for Markstrom look like? Even with Kane we would need another top 6 guy, which is never easy to get. Without Kane the mountain becomes much steeper. Burgers could replace Sprongs numbers but not Kanes. It’ll be very interesting to see what Yzerman actually does here.

We played terrible against them. They made us look like we were boys playing against men most the time

Throuples are in. It’ll be nice

Yes that was me. I apologize for my outbursts. The silver lining is, we're bff's now and that? That is priceless

Here’s the thing though, right now these are all just our own conjectures about what might happen based of the extremely tight lipped press conference we just heard. I never said anything that wasn’t said, and there are currently two camps after that presser. The ones who think they heard hes hoping to come back then the ones that don’t think he is. We have no real way of knowing. But saying those things weren’t talked about is absolutely crazy on your part. Quite trolly from the one accusing me of picking fights. I also don’t just come to message boards, I have been coming here for 16 years and definitely don’t plan of stopping anytime soon with lord Stanley on the way. See you on Woodward friend

Yes I did delete it. Seemed like picking a fight on the short bus but that’s ok, it’s fitting. I am certainly cute! Look at us, aren’t we just becoming bff’s ☺️

You are an idiot. not one statement was made up. Especially you being an idiot and a regard. Have a blessed day, you’re a special little fella ♥️

Good talk.
