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.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By rayzor · Posted

      Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      To be honest I just haven't been paying attention. I have PTSD from all these shitty Tepper hires. I'm just going to wait and see what takes the field.

      Falcons got Cousins and Penix

      What is extremely rare?  Taking a young quarterback when you have a starter?  If that is what you are referring to, at one time it wasn't that rare.
