gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 Super curious to see how Mrazek performs in the playoffs. He seemed to rise to the occasion for us even as a young guy. If he can take the experience he’s gotten up to this point and combine it with his inherent competitiveness, he could be a major difference-maker. Good to see him doing well. Still wonder if we should’ve kept him...if he ends up actually being a consistently good goalie, it’ll sting a bit, but he certainly earned his trade. 3 Rick D, krsmith17 and chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sather was also behind the Brad Richards, Wade Redden, Chris Drury and Scott Gomez signings. And he traded Adam Graves for future Red Wings fan favorite Mikael Samuelsson. I guess overspending for players in an attempt to buy a championship makes u a Hall of Famer Edited April 5, 2019 by Neomaxizoomdweebie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 Carolina should wear the Whaler jerseys the entire playoffs. Don't think I can stare at that ugly rose logo crap.

Word on the street was that Mr. Mustache wanted a team that's ready to win a Cup. In other words, he had no interest in a project. I dunno if he compromised a bit or if he genuinely believes the pieces are mostly in place. In any case, good on Tallon, I guess. Dude came out and straight-up said, "S*** is broken and we are unhappy about it and we need to change things up." Makes me think there might in fact be something to all the rumors about them going HAM after Panarin and Bobrovsky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well this certainly doesn't hurt their chances of Landing Panarin considering he's been coached by Quenneville before. I think they've got the talent for sure to be Cup competitive in a year or two. Really good farm system too. Smart move by Quenneville. Where else was he going to coach that much young talent? Please, please, please let him win a Cup with Florida before Babs wins one with Toronto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what's been so frustrating about them -- the talent has been there, they just haven't been able to put it all together and take the next step. So, yeah, bringing Quenneville aboard makes all the sense in the world and is a huge win for an organization that desperately needs to stop Mickey Mousing things up. I'm sure the pre-existing familiarity between Tallon and Quenneville didn't hurt. I'd thought Quenneville might land in Buffalo, but I guess he decided he doesn't want to become an utterly miserable alcoholic. I suppose it's telling that he didn't even wait to see if the Sabres add Hughes/Kakko to their existing core of Eichel and Dahlin. Not a good look for Buffalo. F*** Babcock and f*** the Leafs. I have no love for the Bruins, but you can bet your ass I'll be rooting for them in the first round. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
