Might as well get it started. 
 

Aho/Svech/Jarvis/Orlov/Slavin/Chatty are about all I care to keep. Guentzel at the right price.

Rod needs to answer some tough questions and probably surround himself with some different assistants. 

Gleason is fine. If Rod decides to come back and Dundon goes for it send Daniel’s to coach Chicago as a “promotion” he can still develop talent well.

I agree with this, would love to see Daniels go coach Chicago.  Maybe bring Justin down to the bench?

I believe we'll be younger and more inexperienced next year, and our defense will be different.  Still question signing Orlov.  He probably had his worst season with us since 2018-19 or 19-20 seasons while playing less minutes.  He was a luxury I don't think we had to have, but that die has been cast now.

Next year who should be back?

  • Aho
  • Svech
  • Jarvy (gotta get him signed, bridge deal so we can sign Guentzel)
  • Guentzel (gotta hope we can sign him to a fair deal that won't cripple us)
  • Necas (I know there will be debate, but he is very skilled and won't be easy to replace)
  • Staal (if he doesn't retire)
  • Fast (please let him stay healthy)
  • KK (boy that "reasonable" contract isn't looking so hot and I don't think we can get someone to take him off our hands...will take a sweetner to do it)
  • Kuzy (another gamble that looked good for about 3-4 games now looks bad, buyout?)
  • Martinook only if it's a really team friendly deal...no more than $1M/yr
  • Noesen - think he's gone, team has to get the younger guys in
  • Drury - will be interesting, fine 4th line player but shouldn't overpay
  • Turbo - again, it will have to be a very friendly team deal if he wants to stay, otherwise I think Turbotime has expired
  • Lemiuex - signed for another year to be a healthy scratch most of the season
  • Slavin - back
  • Burns - back
  • Orlov - back
  • Skjei - I hope we can re-sign him to a fair deal
  • Pesce - don't see him back in a Canes sweater
  • Chatty - would like to re-sign to a fair deal
  • TDA - hasta la vista

Who should get the call to the roster:

  • Morrow - welcome to the deep end kid
  • FUS - really think he is going to be good
  • Blake - let's see what you got young man
  • Honka - actually rated higher than Morrow by scouts
  • Nadeau - see Blake
  • Suzuki, Gunler?? 

Of course who knows what the brain trust is going to do!

Going Young: 

Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis

Svech - KK - Necas

Nadeau - Staal - Fast

Blake - Drury - FUS

Lemiuex

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Skjei

Chatty - Morrow

Honka

Andersen (1a/b)
Koochie (1a/b)
Perets

Heck I have no idea........

Yeah, I think next year will be a semi-rebuild/bridge year until we get nikishkin here. But... If we are able to have those lines you have above next year, I will be thrilled. 

 

Edit: I'm fairly certain Staal retires or goes to another team next year

I think they still have the talent to make the playoffs... probably as a wc. But yeah Nikishin is gonna be a star I can tell you that he's gonna be our Cale Makar

 

That said we need a 2C I think it's Jarvis.

It’s not good when our 2C is Staal. I believe Jarvy could be like Trocheck but a little better.

Staal won't go to another team, he's signed for another year....maybe 2.  He may retire, but I don't get that feeling.

      OL then RB would make heads explode but its might not be too unlikely

      By strato · Posted

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      By strato · Posted

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
