Nice response by the boys after Calgary made it a one goal game.  We need to play better tomorrow with Florida coming to town.

Hopefully we get all the calls since we are at home like the Panthers did in our first game with them.

Hope Bear is OK.

You could tell Calgary was gonna score first they busted ass at the beginning while we didn’t really get our game set until the end of the first. But you could tell we were intent on controlling that game. I can’t say enough about our grinders. Staal may not have a goal(goals this season) but his tempo was insanely good last night. Fast is just so underrated, that dude is everywhere and always in perfect position. Lorentz grind was good. Nino is a fugging possession god. 
 

I hate to say it but Staal probably has to be the odd man out when contracts come up again. We gotta keep Fast and Nino.

Staal is gonna be out. At this point, his production is replaceable and his contract would be too heavy when we can pay the other guys on the roster. His value is purely leadership and experience here.

He'll go to a team in need of a solid vet 3rd line center and give some solid play for a couple years before hanging it up. I'll be sad to see him go, but it's time I think.

KK is definitely a C replacement for the future for either Tro or Staal. Could see that when we made that move. 
 

The issue with Staal is his NTC and the he still has 1 year left. We have Fast locked until Staal’s contract is up so that’s a nonissue. Tro or Nino is what it’s going to come down to this off-season. Nino is gonna have some big suitors too, probably even more so than Tro.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
