Did a re watch of the highlights. Some takeaways. Koochie play well the whole game minus that last goal. Orlov and Burns are definitely on their last year as a cane. fug Orlovs plus minus.  His defense is so bad at times. Yesterday was one of them.  Burns is burnt. That was his worse game as a cane. Don’t care if he had a point. 5 bad turnovers and consistently lazy clears and bad defense. Aho is angry….angry aho is about to make some noise.  Necas played well, minus when he froze in front of Vasy.  Ty smith is a waste of a roster spot.  Svech failed to clear on that last goal that lead to the lightning leading. In fact the whole team took a dirt nap in those 30 seconds after dominating the 3rd. 
 

canes played a tough game. They just can’t finish with the players on the roster. 
 

blake is going to be a stud. He is flying around.  
 

I personally think it’s going to come down to the last 5 games to determine if they make the playoffs. 500 hockey will be close. This team great then poor.

I think it's time to give the young blood ice time on D.... we all knew this was a rebuilding year of sorts even if we do make the playoffs..

Bring up Marrow 

 

Next year our D core will be much different

I wanna see Suzuki on the fourth line and Morrow with Walker. Both have had two hat tricks in the last month with the wolves. It’s time to bring them up. I’m with you.

Think so? The only UFAs on the blue line are Orlov and Burns. And I'd bet the team will allow both to decide whether they stay or go. Burns may retire or not, and I think Orlov is well-liked by RBA. 

Nikishin may be on board with Morrow at camp. Otherwise, everyone else has a contract. Ty Smith is an RFA, but he's headed back to Chicago soon.

I'll bet Burns gives it 1 more year.

Nikishin expected to sign at the end of SKAs playoff run....also he had a hat trick today.

So he may replace Orlov, should Orlov go FA looking for another team. 

Gostisbehere moves up to the second pair with Chatty, and Nikishin and Walker are the third pair.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
