I disagree, he pretty much singlehandedly made Minny a playoff team, but I can see the argument

RIP

Btw I always love the emotions around the Canada olympic squad selections. As a finn, we of course dont have quite the plethora to select from ( not too bad though recent years ) but it does result to less moaning and crying on the 3rd and 4th line selections.

Do you honestly think you should select the most talented 13 forwards as a rule of thumb???

Basically after 1st and 2nd lines take their 21+19 minutes of icetime and all off the PP the former 2 lines are left to bicker for the 20 remaining minutes and PK. They are left with playing against the opponents 1st line ( and honestly for example Finlands Rantanen- Barkov-Aho is a handfull)
Do you want skill players like Barzal playing against them defensive end plays???

All after trying to cope with the change of playing 10-12 minutes less than they usually get in their regular teams.

Hell no. You want physical, hard tackling grit guys who know/and have played the 10-13 minutes a game. Who know how to adapt yo that, know how to keep themselves ready and warm despite the lack of minutes.

It wouldnt surprise me at all Coleman would wound up on the team. And a couple of more guys who could thrive in similar role.

Its a piss poor idea to choose 13 most talented ones. I wouldnt even blame Cooper for choosing something like Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck just for the hell off it as a 4th line. Atleast they are familiar with each other ( in a 3 week tournament it pays off not to start from scratch) and honestly they are good at what they do on the ice for the glorious 8 minutes awg they would be getting.
Defensive end plays, PK, hitting, grinding, getting under the skin of opponents 1st line guys.

But what do I know.... as a rule of thumb most people ignore totally the roles players need to play when it comes to Team Canada, and are shocked and betrayed their guy who scored 70+ points didnt get picked. (Although their strengt might lie in running the PP, which he wouldnt get to do att all)

I seriously believe the Lightning are going to three-peat and it scares the **** out of me.

He isn't even worth 8M yet, Point is a much better overall player and he accepted a bridge. Kap is insane to ask for close to 10

I think they still make the playoffs but with the GGC line now gone I don't think they 3 peat. As that line was instrumental in their playoff push.

WATCH THEM PROVE ME WRONG IM READY

Point is not a good comp as he’s easily worth 10+ and took a Tampa discount, Kaprizov is, based off the past season, easily worth 8+

bro theyre gonna prove you wrong by trading their 2022 first and their 2024 2nd for a new third line

They already replaced one third of the line (Goodrow) with Perry who is as good if not better.

“I think they make the playoffs”

And I think that the sun is going to shine tomorrow.



Also, Tampa Bay is still the best team in the league on paper, with or without their 3rd line.

well the injury fairy could strike. Like what if Vasilesky is out for the season or Point, Stamkos, and Hedman all have surgery. Unlikely but what happened in 2017 could happen again. As lets be real those players be having airbags in their uniforms or something

People who think that in my latest podcast was complaining about my salary for the reason of actual money are Crazier then my 5th personality on a bender in Amsterdam. It’s about that I have better stats then most and get paid less becuse I’m open about mental health issues.

I’m assuming this means his Chicago contract, because this makes 0 sense if he’s referring to his current deal.

If he does not, no one forced him to sign with a cap-strapped Vegas team.

In general Lehners the one who took a discount so he really should not be complaining lul. Someone would have given him 6+ mill on open market especially with his Vegas numbers. But he chose to stay in Vegas for less. Tying it to mental health issues seems odd as I dont see how that = taking less money

my best guess would be that he simply got no offers (likely his agent and him tested waters if he should leave vegas and no one probably offered anything substantial)

IF thats correct, that seems to make a little sense.

Lehners english is also a little poor lol, so we could lose something in "translation"

Actually I believe he signed before FA officially started. As 1 weeks before it was said he reached a deal for 5mill x 5 years. Was either Serevalli or Friedman who said it
