Let's drag this out 6 or 7 games to get the playoff reps. That should be the goal now.

Still a young team.

When you look at a veteran team like Boston, the game is never over with them. You can see how confident they are that they’re never out of any game. Now you look at the body language of the Hurricanes right now and they look like they’re frustrated and pressing. They need better goal scorers plain and simple.

And during the regular season we were that team. We just need to learn that during the playoffs there is a different level.

I don't know why the NHL just didn't make it a best of 7 series between the Avalanche and Lightning from the start and save the time of these meaningless series. The talent level of Colorado and Tampa is just vastly superior to everyone else.

Boston and NYI are both very good teams that could definitely beat Tampa.

They need to sign some veteran FAs who have been there and done that. You look at all the contenders and they have a few older guys gunning for a last chance at the cup. Carolina has none of that. Corey Perry would have been a good signing.

      Honestly I haven no idea what I would have even done last night, Edgecomb was the most realistic option to improve our team

      He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He had the worst numbers of anyone who worked out in this draft. He's legitimately the least athletic player in this draft, which is saying something.   His ceiling is Kyle Korver, with his lack of athleticism he's more likely to be out of the league in 5-6 years like Jimmer Fredette.

      Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range.
