So, here's my thoughts on who stays and who doesn't:

Not here next season: Trocheck, Stepan, Cole, Smith (all UFA)

Staying with new deals: Nino, Domi (both UFA)

Which RFAs will not get an offer? Lorentz and LaFontaine

Which RFAs stay? Bear, DeAngelo

And who's the wildcard? Martin Necas, a 23-year old, RFA.

Does Drury get pulled up next year?

I watched every game this year after only casually watching the past couple of seasons, and then only really paying attention to the playoffs. Trying to learn more about the more intricate details, salary cap, developing players, etc. Probably my favorite sport at this point.

I'd imagine he pulls up to the fourth line you get the feeling he is Staals eventual replacement.

I think other than the NC FL guy we all get along and respect everyone.   Was something said out of line?

I think he mistook the spirit of my post in this thread, Personally I don't care who makes the GameDay just that we can all chat and have fun....

 

I'm certainly not going to the doom and gloom.

The good news is we’re starting to get some traction on people on this subform to discuss and I think it’s a good thing that multiple threads about different things are being created. It shows that we care and we’re engaged.

Apologies, I didn't start the thread as a harbinger of bad things to come (no pun intended).

I just thought it would be nice to have other relevant hockey conversations besides the games themselves. And, playoff hockey tends to let you see who you really have come game day. Who steps up to the mic and who shrinks under the glare of the spotlight?

Who made a name for themselves and is looking to parlay that into a big payday? Who didn't gain the confidence of the coach to be part of the lineup this time around?

You guys know what's up- hell, I thought this was a 3-1 series by now... lol. Not counting the boys out.

For the record I think you are correct, Nino is a much bigger piece of what we do than Trocheck is ultimately, I think Necas will be back simply because he's a RFA and due to his down season won't get a ton in arbitration, When you consider the two concussions and the covid abbreviated seasons he is essentially having a sophomore slump.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
