Paquette is doing his job- twice Columbus has wanted to drop the gloves with him.

Like his line, too. RBA built a nice 4th line with him.

Gonna be great to see him Wednesday when he isn’t sleep deprived and gets a full practice under his belt. 

The Don is quietly building quite the contender.

And, we still have a couple million to play with before the trade deadline.

If I told you 2 months ago that covid would hit half our team at once, Petr would get his thumb mangled like yarn in a blender, we play a game shorthanded because we are cap strapped and that Jordan Staal would be our best player, who would've guessed we'd be 10-3-0?

Not me.  The depth this year is what is really impressive.  Staal, McGinn, Nino, Necas, Trochek, oh yeah and those guys Aho and Svechnikov, who haven’t even come close to their potential yet, and now Turbo getting back into form.  Then Skjei, Pesce and Gardiner playing like world beaters, and Slavin and Dougie haven’t played to their potential yet.  I mean...

I was about to say the same thing, so much firepower on the top 9....  I'm watching Necas closely because he seems like a guy who is putting it together....

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
