1) Drafting in the top 15 would be very good.

2) The bad finish would lead them to get a new coach.

3) Possibly evaluate a JJ exit strategy:

Sullivan isn't going to get fired if we miss the playoffs.

Also there's no indication that the FO or coaching staff have any issue with Johnson whatsoever. With how candid both are when someone enters the doghouse, we would have gotten hints by now. All we've gotten is how great the Johnson-Pettersson pairing has been and that any struggles he might be experiencing are symptoms of larger issues up and down the roster. The blame is on other players right now and I don't think at this point, when there's so much evidence that Johnson is the second biggest issue this team has after missing Schultz, that missing the playoffs is going to change that perception.

I think you are overvaluing a non top 10 1st and over estimating any change happening if they miss the playoffs.

Sullivan won 2 Cups with them over the last 3 years, 4 if you count this one.

In order to get fired, he'd have to take a poop in Rutherfords' bed, light the arena on fire, and make a John Rocker-esque bashing on Pittsburgh.

Then MAYBE he'd get a stern warning.

Path to glory:

Step 1) Trade for only Andrew MacDonald, any deal not involving Jack Johnson in return for him is acceptable.
Step 2) I don't really care, just trade for him.

and even if sully were fired, theres a good chance jacques martin's leprechaun ass would get promoted

Don't worry Abdelkader is 100% going to be a Bruin.

Mine is at 82k. How's that?

Modified NTC in 2020-21 to 2022-23 (If Detroit misses playoffs or Abdelkader is not among the Top 9 F in TOI, he can be traded to any team - clause resets in each of the last 3 years)

Sad part is judging by his NTC they knew he would probably suck before the contract ended.

Too much work.

Create a website that tracks "hockey rumors" and just throw out wild trade ideas.

lol no.

Like, Sid's great. He really is. Absolutely elite.

But he 15 points behind McDavid and 22 points behind Kucherov.

He's not the best player in the world anymore.
- BINGO!

Kucherov plays wing on a loaded line. McDavid is fantastically talented but I have yet to see him elevate any of his linemates.

Come playoff time I'll take Sid over anyone. poop, I'd take Bergeron or Malkin over Kucherov in a heartbeat.

Not fair, he looks Canadian.

Canadians has learned to "live in harmony" with all wilderness creatures.
