Rookies will not be counted on to make the roster. They will need to force themselves upon it.

I agree, and I think they will by mid-season

Well if he makes the right FA choices and a decent trade, don't think there will be much forcing.

Right after the team is eliminated from the playoff hunt…roughly 12/25/24.

The cabal has spoken.

Biggest part of this Offseason is what decent Hockey player doesn't say NO and is willing to come here.

I don’t think there are many holes. They have more than enough cap space to play the free agency market and enough ammo to make trades without blowing up the prospect pool.

Peterka/Benson-Tage-Tuch
Benson/Peterka-Cozens-Quinn
Skinner-______-_______
Greenway-Krebs-______
Rousek

Power-Dahlin
Samuelsson-Bryam
Johnson-Clifton

UPL
Levi

What happens with Joker will be interesting, maybe he’s part of the trade package to fill one of those blanks.

It's getting good players to not say NO! The way Adams has slowed played it has definitely affected FA coming here.

TLTR.

And (frank) off with your introductory line.

Carolina Hurricanes are a shorter flight from Tampa Bay than Dallas. You’re a moron. Better?

Is that a bit pot calling the kettle black? Didn't you get up in your feelings when I made a joke the other day about a post that was almost twice as long as that one?

Where do you see that roster finishing in The standings?

Is that roster considered cup contenders?

And Granato rightfully threw his players under the bus right back in an article in The Athletic.
Maybe both sides get it now.

Stop chasing guys with some form of NTC NMC.
It shouldn't be that hard.

Nope.
Need to get some men on the roster rather than mentally fragile boys.
The proper on-ice leadership is not (yet?) on this roster.

Depends on the coaching staff and who they fill those blanks with.

The Fourth Period mentioned we were looking for a top 6 forward and 3C.

Could make sense to me, bumps Benson down with Skinner.

Vegas is in a cap crunch, Philly could be an interesting trade option too.

Free agency has a ton of available depth. Guys like Mantha and Stephenson are appealing.

Does Florida retain Sam ? If so do they move Bennett ?

There won’t be a shortage of options that’s forsure

How does filling those spots in the offseason allow space for the two players you mentioned to be on the roster by mid-season?

Can Adams convince the home town kid to come home on the second go around ?

Do they back up the brinks truck for Stamkos ?

In one offseason, Adams can go from skapegoat to solidifying his job for the next 5+ years.

Should be a fascinating next few months

Dallas seemed to find a way to fit Stankoven this year.

When there is a will, there is a way.

Also injuries will play a role too.

Guess Trade wise, but if he's respected enough they could still ask them there preferred Destination. FA's obviously can say NO! Just gonna have to wait and see, depending on what happens in the offseason he might not have a choice on whether to use 2 rookies. And if it's between Kulich and Savoie and 2 retreads I would rather stick with the youngins

Think your blaming the wrong person for that, and would be very surprised if they were here, atleast both.

The game day roster was Granatos and not Adams
