The real question is what do we do next year… Kochetkov may or may not be the future and the free agent class for goalies is abysmal.

In reality, what we have is the probably the best we can get right now.

Ya this is concerning. I liked Koch. But he didn’t see 2/3 of those first goals last night. I am convinced he has a sight issue like Mraz. 
 

We are in kind of a pickle. When Andersen is on he is by far our best goalie. Raanta is more reliable, In The Regular Season, he showed last year he’s not a playoff goalie. I feel like Andersen will want to test the market more than Raanta. So Koch gotta get his eyes fixed and mature. Id say he’s two seasons from being serviceable at this point looking at his body of work as a whole. This offseason is gonna be Ugh.

Imagine a team that was the best or 2nd best in the league all year to completely implode come playoffs. The window was right there. We are one elite scorer away and Waddell stood pat  with scrubs in ghost and pool. I’m very disappointed in this organization

Ive been prepared for it all year. This team is ass in the playoffs. Doing nothing at the trade deadline just further cemented our 1st/2nd round exit IMO.

I’m trying my best right now. And I’m usually the positive one of the bunch.

Nah, don’t mean to be rude but you are one of the most reactionary people on here. And that isn’t a slight.

we have one of the most solid lineups in hockey. We have for the past 5 years. And you are right we might be one mega piece from getting to the cup. But we have at least 3 more years being on top.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
