See what he says in 2yrs. Did you see the video of him and Dawkins. Dawkins was trying to teach him some new celebration dances when Dahlin scored. Pretty funny, Dahlin is so shy.

Dahlin is really shy. I think, unfortunately, that part of his personality shows on the ice, too.

2 more years to turn it around before he takes the Sam route. Realistically one because he won't extend next offseason if they still suck

I think they take a step next year.

Almost certainly. The question is how big of a step. I'm thinking 23rd if all they do is fill out the forwards, bring in a 2RD and a 1B goalie.

Even with minor tweaks like that it's hard to see them in playoff contention

I don't think playoffs next year, but I think they take a "Detroit type step". By adding Quinn, JJ, Power, Samuelsson (full time), and IF they can add a 1b, I think they can do it.

Cozens is going to be that much better. Eakin, Butcher, the Drake, etc will be gone (hopefully they don't add more of those types of terrible players).

Just my 2 cents.

Seems like that's the expectation for next year. Another year in purgatory is going to be rough

Hmm, I don't see a Max Afinogenov highlight video here?

It's cliche, but you have to learn to walk first. Detroit has 20 wins at this point. On pace for 35-40. I'll take that next year all day long.

they need to have meaningful games in march

Good god the Pro-Bowl and the All-Star game are having a competition for all-time worst sporting events and guys, the NFL might actually take this one.

Two-hand touch, literally, and guys just throwing INT's and letting the defense get pick-six after pick-six, lol it's ridiculous.

Then the stockpile is complete…

Gonna be totally and completely honest- a 78-84 point season might be a TKO for me

That's the stuff

That's what I am hoping with Samuelsson, need that nastiness to come out. Pee boy is kinda like Teppo.
- Buff36

If samuelsson turns into “McKee” that’s a win. Just make sure he washes his equipment.

Pee boy is like 1/5 of teppo.

All the 50-65 point seasons haven't KO'd you yet? 😂

If they're winning almost every other game or close to it, that's the next logical step.

Quick has had a resurgence. Get a goalie, Darcy.

It'll be year 3 for Adams, and I said this for year 3 of Botterill as well - you gotta hit 90 points in the 3rd year. I understand his patience and methodical building philosophy but 80 points is purgatory.

You pick 7th for eternity and live there
