I had never stated that. So I don't know why you are coming to me with that.
I paired Othmann, if you think Othmann is better than Koivunein you're a bit high.

But in the end where you stand is you didn't get Guentzel with an aging core. Panarin isn't getting younger and neither is Kreider. When those two go..... you're team is done.
33 next year. Good luck

Lol

lmao coming from a most likely pens fan...whose the one with two elite players and aging and also in a rebuilding mode?

yes but at least they won 2 cups before things went south, what you got?

a good team now bc we tanked hard before and now have a good, competitive team...

you tanked hard and got nothing out of it.
You take away 32 year old Panarin and 32 year old Kreider and your goal scoring is down to nothing.
You seem to think your tanking got you here it didn't. FA did.
Your tank brought in Kakko who is looking like Yakupov every year and Laf, who is looking like a middle 6 winger.
You got a guy who's concussions might force him to retire.
They are 32 this year, What do they have 2 years left before the effects of age really start to show.
By 35 the decline on guys is pretty apparent. Lets be honest.
You clearly didn't do enough to win a cup this year. So this year is most likely blown. You got 2 more. Tick tock....
