I wouldn’t say over achieved this year. I’d say they discovered how good they were this year in the first ten games of the season but it took until the bubble to figure out how to play team defense.

Discussions underway this morning between Tyson Barrie and the three primary teams with interest. Tight squeeze for the Oilers, but a good fit. Vancouver is eager to land Barrie and Colorado is in the mix as well. All short term.

Short term being the best part

Yeah. Unless we bring in a quality RFA by trade, the only guy I am giving term to would be AP.

A motivated TB might be helluva plan B. He scores an assload of points.

And even TB has to be somewhat reasonable, if there is such a thing right now, (F**king flames). A Pietrangelo get will be very big (8-9 per)
and 7 + years with a NTC or MTC.

But I'm glad we don't need to cringe every time Tanev gets hit or blocks a shot to see how long he'll be out for - didn't he get hurt the last game of the regular season, and only recovered thanks to the covid shutdown? So that would have been another season of failing to top 70 games in a season.

This feels like losing Salo and Ohlund - I was sad to see them to, but they were both done like dinner.

Benning had the space for Tanev, but didn't have the long-term space for him in the roster, which is totally fair.

I expect a rookie dman on the team this year, leaving space for a UFA RD and possibly Toffoli.

I'm wondering if Jake getting qualified signals that he could be given the opportunity to be Toffolis replacement.

Probably best to pump the brakes on this kid taking a job next year barring some sort of rapid acceleration in his development. Likely 2 years away minimum

Canucks are in mix for Stecher, there have been talks.

Not being a disease experts is the timeline for a second wave starting now and ends in 6 months or starting now at the bottom and peaks in months from now? This is why I prefer to wait this off season and not take on any bad contracts as we have no idea on the 2021

Covid ain’t going away, Thumbs. Not until their is a vaccine that works and is widely available. It’s here to stay, but to your point yes I believe some of that to be true.
