Sullivan has proven time and time again he is playing the kids, so how will he steer the ship past this retool?? Unless Drury will just change the vets and not add youth.
So a GM is saying they want a top talent for a young prospect? Not letting the entire league know he wants that player gone at all costs and then become baffled when no one offers anything of value? Interesting concept.
Arent you suppose to just say please someone just take him??
Anyone interested in taking a flyer on Shane Wright? Id go for it! Cant see the Rangers developing him, they havent been able to develop anyone in a decade. What would the price be?
We discussed a 1 for 1, LAF for Wright deal, and it got a unanamous yes from everyone. Doesnt happen often.
I dont think the Kraken will want to pay that contract on Laffy for the next 7 years though. Id bet there would be some money needed to be retained .
If by the end of this TDL he has
2 firsts this year draft
2 firsts next year draft
2 firsts in the ‘28 draftIt would be a homerun. Requires trading Trocheck which I’m not sure is a guarantee. Panarin definitely gets one of those tho.
Im not sure what is considered the best draft where teams insist on keeping that year
And it will take 3-4 years for these picks to develop.

Drury and Sullivan will get fired together imo. If that happens.
Drury definitely has no more rope I’ll give ya that. But they’re both getting at least two more years imo
Another quote that is going to age bad!!
LOL
Ok brukie whatever you say
Its not whatever I say, its how the team looks on the ice. With Miller the team is worse, how can you explain that?
I think I’m more tired of the players on this team than the front office. Maybe that’s where my disconnect is different then you guys. Get rid of all of them (older guys). My point regardless of buying selling retooling etc..you have to have older players to mentor players. Ie have Perrault play with Miller and Mika. You can’t have 20 players under 22 yrs old. Drury, for better or worse, wanted Miller and Gavrikov to be that new wave of older core players.
Moving forward- imo, Miller, Mika, Fox, Gavrikov and Shesty are the big tickets. Like they’re are all staying. Other guys need to be better (Cuylle, Laf, Schneider, etc) and add in some more youth in a variety of ways, draft right and sign smart contracts (like Trocheck was) and see what happens.
If they got Robertson I think we’d all feel much better about things. That’s the shot in the arm the fan base needs. I get the hate I do I just direct my hate elsewhere, it’s on the players not so much Drury. He gave them all 3 friggin coaches, a lot of money and they’ve been nothing but divas
I dont want Miller mentoring younger players, he has been bounced around a few times and then couldnt get along with his team mate, that too me isnt leadership material. Mika cant teach anyone, he failed himself in the playoffs!! There is no shot in the arm or magic potion to comeback, the magic potion was 2 years ago when they had a chance and were a team, now they are a bunch of individuals.
