2023 Off-Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Well with the EK thing over we can finally start to get our roster together for opening night.

Not much else I’d do but I wouldn’t hate throwing Parise an offer. He played pretty well for a NYI team that plays similar to us so I think he’d fit in well.

Tatar is another option as a depth forward but I’m not sure if his game fits the Canes.

I can’t really blame Pitt for this. In fact, it was probably a smart move on their part. A massive rebuild is on the horizon with or without this move. Might as well give your aging stars a little help before the window is closed shut. 

I don't disagree with you here, but only because of the way the league works. If they were smarter, they would be selling off their vets, including crosby, right now and starting the rebuild.  Because of the fact that Crosby will likely only wear one jersey in his career--it makes the Caps and Pens do these ridiculous moves that further delay and set back their rebuild starting to always cycle years of 'this run' when last year's team for both Caps/Pens couldn't get WC2 in a very deep division.  I understand not wanting Crosby in any other jersey, but as a small market baseball fan/thinking about it from what happened to the Canes in 09...it's a pretty big price to pay on the back end of their careers as we see with Chicago right now (and they even let Kane/will let JT go)

I just don't see EK changing much. I guess if their goaltending puts together a tandem that performs better than we've seen either of those guys perform--it's possible if you're thinking that FL probably has a huge injury hangover/Bob is probably literally going to drop off the face of the planet. IDC about the pedigree of EK/Crosby/Malkin. The thought of getting Jarry/Ned in the playoffs makes me salivate.

    • In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
