Brad Lohr: Coaching Carousel Gives Parody to the Perception of Success.

Phisty Phist Phist

Tim Connolly has a full time room on Pegula’s yacht….don't shoot the messenger.

No other team in professional hockey has called Don Meatball for an interview, Adams offered him head of security.

Grigorenko lives in the cellar still off the scraps of all the roster turnover…business is good.

Grigs is collecting social security by now. Wasn't he, like, 53 when he was drafted? I remember the comparisons to Lemieux. 😂

See Necas is topping the Page today!

If Krebs is legitimately viewed as a bonafide trade chip to land a top 6 forward, then Adams better not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Yeah that would be surprising, but I agree with you. Even if he's the sweetener, I would still use him depending on that top 6.

Hoping to get a look at Hakanpaa this series. Shame he's still hurt. Think if nothing else pans out he would be a good Tough Add to our Dcore.

Are we good yet?

no, adams spends 4 drafts loading up on small forwards and then in the summer of 2024 realizes they need to be a bigger team

I still have hope for him with a real coach this fall

Matt Duchene 2 x $5.8m or 3 x 7.0m anybody?
Playing pretty good for an "older" guy, good regular season production wise, good possession metrics, very good on the dot, playing decent in the PO's contibuting tertiary scoring.

how the phuck can you have a mad max movie without mad max?

2020 - Quinn at 6'0". Not small, not big...average. closest reasonable alternative selection were Rossi at 5'9", Perfection at 5'10", Lindell at 6'1". Great pick, playing as well or better than them all. Injury issues are the concern.

2021 - Owen Power 6'6" giant. Not small.

2022 - Savoie 5'9", small energetic forward. 1 forward over 6' reasonably available at the pick in Geekie 6'4"...solid option.

2023 - 18yo Benson 5'10". Only players from that draft class to earn a spot on their NHL Team were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 13th draft selections. Benson finished 2nd in scoring of those 4. There were other options of prospects ranked close by that were over 6'0", none have scored in the NHL.

Edit: 2022 Noah Ostlund 5'10". Other 6'0" options existed. Ostund playing against men in the SHL and producing like a vet.
2022 Juri Kulich 5'11". Other options, not great were available for F's over 6'0" (arguing over an inch? LOL). I like the p8ck quite a bit.

Pick skill in the 1st. Get grit in later rounds and in FA. If a Tkachuk comes along in the 1st, go friggin get him...I'm all for it. I'm nor for selecting guys based on size, as soon you'll have the 31st ranked pipeline and zero options to use as trade bait.

Did you look at the drafts, or merely complain about size in a vacuum...cause that is absurdly easy. Figuring out the alternative higher value picks is the challenge...who are they?

Of more impact is Krebs poopting the bed in the 3C position, and hanging on barely at 4C.
Trade his ass, and do it quickly, he's another Nylander...if he blossoms into a 3C a couple years from now on another team, so be it.

we will become a big team and then adams will pivot back to trying to become a speed team

For sure.
That is where Lindy and Apert can focus their energies. Get him using his God given capabilities versus playing like a wussy.
He doesn't have to be Pronger out there
