Any way you cut it, it was a terrible game for the eyes.Willander Novotney and Cootes are the ones with mentioning so far.
Albeit pre-season, the last couple of games have been painful. The young kids give you some hope, still the bar is set low which is okay.
AHLers/prospects only basically so to be expected. Last 2 games will see the vets.
Without obtaining another 1st or early 2nd, after we pick with the 1st, SJ and Dallas are in control of where our next 2 picks will be in the 2nd round. That’s going to be a pretty long gap between 1st and our next pick…. they need to make this 1st a home run. Might not see top 3 again after that. Going to be harder to find star power in the draft.
Totally agree we are in the hands of how the Stars & Sharks do. Stars are aging & their division is getting better than they are so some hope there. SJ is on the rise in a shit division & don’t see them taking a step backwards. Not so sure come the ‘28 draft we will be much better. After that is when the rise might begin. All said it’s a long runway between now & the ‘27 draft to gain picks.
Bad time to be expecting mass new fans to the game. Many wont be able to afford going to games, viewership subscriptions, merch, travel, and the inflation in the market to pay these spoiled fucks the doubling of their salaries… it’s a recipe for disaster and they are pushing expansion? Idiots.
At the rate of the cap inflation going up so rapidly I think price controls on ticket prices are in order. NHLPA won’t agree to it or the owners but the 3rd party is who pays them. US
Sunday is the big waiver wire day. Monday is roster set. Sunday is probably the day they claim.
Remember, the player has to be able to stick on the NHL roster and bump someone. If they try and send him down, the team that lost him gets first claim on him… and the 1st claim status would be completely wasted.
On Mancini he is like so many that bust when it’s hockey IQ deficiency. He has one choice only turn into a video room mega nerd wattch his tape & compare it watching others. Then & maybe then he’ll learn about decision making skills. If not he’s at best a career AHLer.
As for the waiver wire depth D preferably RH. Kudryavsev imo looks to be solid & reliable for depth D. Is there any rule on waiver pickups if keep so long then can be waived or traded?
Given Demko cannot sneeze without getting injured our odds look good to be 32nd. Idc if 32nd 31st or 30th just comes down to the lottery luck like every year. The other effect is later picks in other rounds. Other side of the coin is all picks from other teams is hoping they all suck & improve our picks lol
Recent expansion news. I for one think not enough talent to go around for expansion. That said if it must happen I prefer expansion out west 1 team in Texas makes sense another in idk San Diego or Arizona only if not stupid arena location. I want to see eastern teams travel schedule mileage increased to help lessen the imbalance.
I wonder also who RJ wanted at 25th. In the end the deal falling through ended up well. Looking at who available at 25th doesn’t rock my socks. Bleyl maybe for need but idk about that. Rogowski & Olsen I like the picks.

Painfully obvious the AHL/prospects line up was more of an audition than anything else. I’m not in VHG it’s all total doom & gloom til the vets suit up the last 2 games. When the new 84 game season starts then we will see how systems & identity plays out. Expectations are very low & idc about them tbh I’ll be looking at how the team bonds & plays for each other. This rebuild is all about building & watch a fit hard working team show up every night. Nothing else matters other than the Dupont sweepstakes.
Now we know. He’s on his way back to the Petes.
Looks like the best place for him. Go to the OHL & try to dominate. The pro game he just isn’t ready yet for it. Some good signs but very infrequent overall.
Seeing much the same thing & not seeing Mancini being an NHL depth D.

Kudryavtsev is ahead of him pretty easily. Next up Mynio ahead as well. Problem is both are LH. The need for RHD D depth in the system now or later needs attention. Dupont would be the perfect answer 🤞🤣
