Long before the injuries…before Werenski & 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.
Merzlikens is overhyped and overpaid.
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.
Texier is probably never coming back.
They are destined to ice a bunch of AHLers.
Jenner sure is trying hard to keep them together.
And Johnny has game but can’t carry an entire team.
The sad part is, they aren’t even trying to tank.
They actually do suck this bad.
Oh, and they were relying on signing a bunch of home town kids like Roslovic and Kuraly that are nothing more than bottom 6ers.
Foudy? Bemstrom? Robinson?
Need to turn them loose.
Laine is made of paper mache for such a big fella.

In 2023-24, it will take a miracle in landing Bedard.
And in finding lightning in a bottle with a goaltender…
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.
And hope Johnson & Marchenko don’t suffer the Silly sophomore slump.
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.

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).
