<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluejackets2000</b></div><div>Long before the injuries…before Werenski &amp; Voracek went down, they were starting to show their true colors.
The Colorado series in Finland was just the plot of the story being revealed in the 2nd chapter. TRUE
Merzlikens is overhyped and overpaid. TRUE
Gudbranson is over the hill and not bringing any type of mentoring or positive influence in the young D corp that outweighs his diminished capacity and salary. SALARY/CONTRACT IS WHAT IT IS. WE DON’T KNOW HIS IMPACT ON ROOM BECAUSE WE ARENT IN IT.
Texier is probably never coming back. YES HE IS
They are destined to ice a bunch of AHLers. NOT FOREVER, BUT YEAH…THIS YEAR WAS RIDICULOUS
Jenner sure is trying hard to keep them together. FWIW
And Johnny has game but can’t carry an entire team. TRUE
The sad part is, they aren’t even trying to tank. TRUE
They actually do suck this bad. TRUE
Oh, and they were relying on signing a bunch of home town kids like Roslovic and Kuraly that are nothing more than bottom 6ers. KURALY IS A BOTTOM 6 BUT HAS BEEN BETTER THAN EXPECTED IN MANY WAYS. JACK CAN GO.
Foudy? Bemstrom? Robinson? OOF. BEMMER CAN GO AND THE OTHER TWO SEEM REDUNDANT, BUT I DONT KNOW ABOUT TURNING THEM BOTH LOOSE AND BANKING ON ONE.
Need to turn them loose.
Laine is made of paper mache for such a big fella. MAYBE. THE WRIST INJURY WAS A FREAK THING AND COVID IS WHAT IT IS. THE TORN TRICEPS WAS WEIRD AND LIKELY TIED TO HIS WORKING ON FACEOFFS, BUT SHOULDNT HAPPEN TO A PRO ATHLETE WHO HAS A WORLD-CLASS WEIGHT ROOM AT HIS DAILY DISPOSAL.

In 2023-24, it will take a miracle in landing Bedard. WE’RE DUE, RIGHT?
And in finding lightning in a bottle with a goaltender… DEFINITELY NEED SOLID PLAY, BUT ALSO SOLID D CORPS
Maybe a kid like Jet Greaves will emerge out of nowhere…his name sounds like he has some game.
And Merzlikens can play token minutes as the leagues highest paid backup for another year until they feel comfortable enough buying out that contract.
They need Silly to pull his head out of the clouds for year #3 and play some better hockey. KEY PLAYER NEEDED TO REBOUND
And hope Johnson &amp; Marchenko don’t suffer the Silly sophomore slump. GOD FORBID
Oh, and they need someone in the coaching staff (like Torts did) that will hold them ALL accountable for playing a team style defense instead of just running and gunning like an undisciplined group of pond hockey misfits. WE SHALL SEE. COULD BE JARMO’S LAST HIRE AND SHOULD BE IF WE DONT SEE INSTANT IMPROVEMENT.

This is a best case scenario.
And leaves plenty of salary to re sign some players in 2024 and possible target a UFA (moving a contract like Guds or Rossie).</div></div> I THINK JACK IS LIKELY GONE, BUT GUDY IS HERE AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR AND PROBABLY TWO WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE KIDS.
