Agreed, but if the GM that drafted him were still here he’d be much more likely to get a look. New GM. New team building vision, no attachment by the current GM, underwhelming performance. I’d be shocked if he WAS signed.

Different administration, different organizational goals, “not my guy”. I’m not surprised he wasn’t given a look.

Like all 2nd round picks, he had maybe a 25% chance of being a pick that made it. Shouldn’t be a shock that he was one of the 75% who didn’t. Maybe his game was different enough from what KA wants to build in Roc that he wasn’t worth one of the 53 contracts we are allowed.

I gotta ask. Was Larsson's game that good this season that we are going to claim walking away from him as our biggest blunder? I mean, regardless of whether we played him more than a 4th liner, he's still a frickin 4th liner on every team that hasn't sucked for a decade. And one with hands of stone at that. FFS if we are lamenting Larsson that hard we should have been in the playoffs, no? Because downgrading Larry just ain't that big in the grand scheme of suckitude we've got going on here.

I would need to see a middle career, middle of the pack 1C or top shelf 2C, and at at this stage of our offseason a starting goalie. If we have a plan to address goalie that doesn’t require Jack then I want their top prospect. There would need to be more, but those 2 would be the bulk of my ask.

I think what it proves is that there is more than 1 successful model in the league.

A sunny, breezy low humidity day. A comfortable deck chair and charcuterie plate. A stiff pour of Belle Meade cognac cask finished bourbon, and a Macanudo Grand Cru Royale.

In retrospect the Hall signing feels a bit like the Ehrhoff signing. It just didn’t have the owners very public proclamation attached to it.

The Jacobs had been notorious cheapskates. Wonder if they still are?

And yet you take the bait every time.......

Reread that amendment. It is clearly not a violation of any constitutional rights. Not unless the Lightning is a state owned team.

Why does it have to be does he suck? Too much hyperbole. I think it is fair to say that parts of his game are pretty rough and need attention.

The vilification is because of the perception that he dogged it while here. It’s natural to expand that frustration to the rest of his situation here.

I bet this is more common than not across the league.

Duda, I want to say thank you for doing this. I know what a trade for Jack that I approve of looks like conceptually, but 10 years of garbage hockey has left me uninterested in the NHL generally so I really can’t attach actual players to my conceptual idea of a good trade. The responses here help me get an idea of what other teams have to offer.

It wasn’t obvious before?

If you ended here their roster is already better than ours. They are a better, deeper team.

Under nearly all other circumstances so is Jack. Untouchable is relative to the return.

Never let perfect be the enemy of good.

@ubkev It’s official. Postponed until 2022. Im starting to think I may never see this show.

Hope you’re back soon.

When folks say they want Pegula to not be involved they are basically saying they want Pegula to recognize his incompetence and leave the team running stuff to competent people.
