Joel Edmundson might be available. I'd take him back! 

Timo, OReilly, Toews, Larkin, Edmundson. We need to grab one of the centers and either Timo or Edmundson. I think the honeymoon is over for the FO after this season. They need to show they are interested in improving and actually doing something by the time trade deadlines approach. If they sit back and do nothing and we quickly exit the playoffs yet again, they should be on the hot seat next season.

Relax my dude. It’s still the regular season.

im just tired come playoff time, everyone goes quiet and turns a complete 180 and we go back home again.

That’s fair. But we still have This  year to write this years teams history. Minus last night, going into the allstar break everyone would agree we were the best team in the league. Even myself, we need step back and not over react. Rod knows what we need to do.

The fact remains. This team as is will not win the Cup. I’m all for sustaining our window but we could have a very different team in just 2 years with the amount of UFA/RFAs coming off the books. This team NEEDS a consistent scorer. Svech, Necas, Aho all disappear for long stretches and in the playoffs that’s not going to cut it - especially against those NHL darlings like the Rangers who are going to get PP opportunities and convert on a lot of them. If it takes Jarvis+ to get Meier, I would make that trade today. The front office acknowledged that deficiency with the Patches trade so I trust them to make a game changing trade before the deadline.

The trade will happen and it will be impactful.

The Canes have proven more than once they can beat the Bruins, the Caps and Tampa Bay. The team they cannot get past is the Rangers, who aren't as good as any of the 3 teams I just mentioned. The Rangers run a very simple offense, but the Canes are very aggressive puck defenders. This is a problem when playing the Rangers, because they always have someone breaking to the middle of the ice the minute the Canes get too deep defensively. The result is the breakaways you saw Saturday night.

tbh, until they turn it on in the playoffs and play like they should, I havent been buying into the hype of the regular season. I just dont trust the team yet enough to buy into it.  I would be fine if we lost in one of the rounds in the playoffs as long as we played like we should. The complete disappearing act is what bothers me most from this team.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
