More from Friedman today:

"The coaching search got done in six days. How long have the Ottawa Senators been without a coach? How long have the St. Louis Blues been without a coach?

All you have to do is look at the evidence to say 'this was not an in-depth coaching search.' "

Berube, Gallant and Ruff have been on the market for a long time. Adams knew Granato was a goner. How does anyone know how long it did or did not take? Do you think the search actually started 7 days ago?

Let's all grasp at straws to fit our own narrative.

Friedman and all the insiders are hacks. Word vomit for filler.

Peters is a no talent hack. Why would you even listen to the drivel he spews? Eichel contributed.

Levi had 0 shutouts with the sabres during the 23-24 season

also had 0 shutouts in the AHL during the 23-24 season

he did however stop 1 out of 4 shots during the shootout in the nhl


6k had 5 shutouts in the nhl this season and stopped 6/7 shots in the shootout in case you were wondering

Just saw the replay again. Off his angle. A par for the course with UPL. It wasn’t even a hard shot or screen.

UPL also isn’t great at reading the play. He was caught off guard. He’s done that a million times this year

He’s a rookie and UPL has had way more NHL and AHL experience.

When you pay goalies the big bucks. They need to win you some games.

Ryan miller would win games we have no business winning.

Heck Levi has shown that already as well

- Sabretooth9


Mr Softy?
I was ok with Miller, but he let soft goals in all the time... Warning the name Mr Soft. He was above average, but he let in killers as well .. Crosby made a living off him

You must have hated him based on your view of UPL, at age 14 for the same rhings

So you think they were searching for a coach while Donnie was still employed?

They started their search at the beginning of last week. They signed Ruff yesterday. Their search was no longer than 6 days.

Every single coaching hire they've done over the last 13 years has been a joke. No real process, no thought or effort put into it. Path of least resistance. The easy route.

He's looking very solid in net again so far this PO season.
I agree that $10m serves to restrict what a team can do, but damn it hasn't hurt them thus far.
It is possible that Sam doesn't chase only the money in the off-season.. he'll still get paid handsomely, but maybe he views where he is at as a once in a lifetime situation and takes less to stay.
Panthers did ok without Montour earlier in the season IIRC, he could be expendable.

Dude was literally saying the other day how your best players in the playoffs need to be the goalie. Nothing else matters.

Now the goalie is the reason they will have Ruint their franchise forever.

- ImThatGuy


How much did Adin Hill make last year ?

Do the Knights win the cup if he was making $10M ?

Just an ounce of critical thinking and a little bit of foreshadowing would do the masses on here some good

I have no doubt Adams put his toes in the water on this topic before their season ended to gage the temperature of the water

Potential additions:

* Edmonton’s Corey Perry can earn an additional $50,000 each for advancing to Conference Final and Stanley Cup Final.
* New York’s Jonathan Quick can earn an additional $25,000 if the Rangers win the Stanley Cup.
* Minnesota’s Marco Rossi can earn an additional $212,500 for being voted to the All-Rookie team.
* Boston’s Milan Lucic can earn an additional $200,000 if the Bruins win the Stanley Cup.
** Florida’s Kyle Okposo can earn an additional $500,000 if the Panthers win the Stanley Cup.
*** Carolina’s Jackson Blake can earn an additional $57,500 if he plays in a total of 20 games this season including the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Canes finished this season with $7,050 in cap space.
**** (Neither Carolina nor Florida will have an overage penalty if those things do not come to fruition.)



side note lucic's wife filed for divorce yesterday so he could use the cash

Ah yes the Ryan Miller shutout. Play on your head for 59 minutes and then let in a softie. This is the way.
