Thank you Predators!
-
He just said he hasn't signed anything yet. He wants to be here. Do they want him? We'll find out.
-
Should R2 be considered as a replacement for Eakin? Or atleast a 13-14th F who draws in for injuries? He's still developing/adjusting his NA game
-
Much needed win! Hated UPL in the shootout though 🤮
-
Geez that first shot on UPL was way too easy but Quinn n Peterka had his back I kinda hope R2 stays but I'm not sure how he fits on Buffalo Big 2

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what was Lehner doing?????????

Fantasy season is over by then 😁

Alot of chatter about Beane moving up. Weird because there's usually tight lips around there these days.
-
Pysyk isn't signed. I did post that I could see a veteran third pair signed to shore up the defense and add some playoff experience. Bryson and Fitz as a 7-8 are fine. Goaltending help may not come cheap so that will take up some cap. They may also get creative and add some injured contracts like they did this offseason. Carey Price huge number for example. Instead of re signing Hiney maybe they look to add a C who can move up and down as needed.
-
They need it. I say maybe because I don't know if they will look outside or promote UPL and pray. I think you're right though, not addressing the goaltending will lead to further missed playoffs.
-
They did earn it. They're moving up. No outside help is coming. Maybe goaltending. They need that.
-
I'm starting to think there won't be many changes next year besides goaltending. Quinn and Peterka will replace Hiney and Eakin. Lines could look like this: Skinner TNT Tuch Peterka Mitts Quinn Asplund Krebs Oloffson Girgensons Cozens Okposo Bjork, maybe they sign Hiney as 13-14th F Dahlin Muel Power Joki Vet? Vet? Bryson Fitz ??? UPL ??? The "vets" the team leans on will be Tuch,TNT, Skinner Okposo, Dahlin etc. No help is coming and I donno if they need it. Another year of maturity and continuity could be all they need. The only thing missing is playoff experience so maybe they can find a couple playoff tested D men to wack and hack in the playoffs.

I don't think any debate about players can be decided unless they are playoff tested. Playoff season has a way of revealing the top players in the game, when guys are allowed to lean on you a little more and get away with more physical play. If a player can fight through that and still maintain his scoring touch then that guy would be considered the better player in my opinion. It happens every year. Guys fold in the playoffs.

Thompson has developed into a helluva player

Julien is a bad choice for younger players. Load him up with grizzly vets.
