I dont understand needing Max to help us out with scoring, but then doing nothing to replace him with 10 mil in cap. If we do nothing from here out, im not even watching the playoffs unless we make the final, which I doubt. I dont want to waste my time. The panthers taught me not to waste my time with bullshit.

Max was insurance in case Necas and Jarvis were still not quite ready for primetime. They both stepped up and we haven't needed Max as much as we thought.

And Ghost over Chych leaves us enough room to still bring in a Schmaltz or Hayes level top 6 forward.

As of yesterday, we still had the second highest odds to win the cup. We have upgraded the 4th line and our 3rd pairing. And we still have ~$4-6m and 36 hours to work with...

On TNT, Friedman just said we might be in on Mikael Backlund from Calgary.

We could make it work if Calgary retains 50%.

The lineup would be:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Backlund - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Puljujarvi

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Gostisbehere - Chatfield

de Haan

Andersen

Raanta

Chychrun to the Sens for a price we could easily beat. 

I agree here, I have no clue why we didn't do this.

The only thing I can point to is that Chychrun has been injury prone and I guess Waddles and the Canes Brain Trust probably considered what happened with Gardiner.  That's the only hesitation I can see.

It’s frustrating for sure. But we have an elite team. And this time (so far) we are going into the playoffs with a healthy goalie. 

Freddy has to be in God mode though.  He has flashed that mode in some games, but he isn't playing nearly as well as he did before he got hurt last year.

On the PP for sure. 5v5? I’m not so sure 

I would say 5v5 we have - Puljujarvi is pretty solid defensively, and I really hope the change of scenery and playing with his fellow Finns brings out the scoring everyone thought he had.

I think Ghost will need to focus on his Defense for the playoff run, other than the slump he had in Philly the knock on him has always been his Defense.

Luckily. 5v5 most teams can’t beat us. 

Boston, Toronto, and the Rags got much better and dangerous. 

We are good defensively, but let there be no doubt we have to bring it in the playoffs.  No shifts off......

The last two years in the playoffs I have seen guys take shifts "off" in my mind, and it's unacceptable.  I don't care if we are down by 2 goals you play as hard as you can when the playoffs get here.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
