Leon Draisaitl is using the off days to fly to Somalia where he will feed starving millions with 10 loaves and 12 fishes

Yeah but is he using Pegula's plane though, so Gerbe can track it? Asking for a friend.

Our luck chefs will win the Super Bowl
- GERBE!!!75PTS

chiefs taking a step back IMO

d won't be as good

gimic plays to their waterbug wr won't be as effective

plus I think they won 7 games by 8 points or less

I could see them going 6-10 this year

If we can add someone like Brendan Smith in FA, and add Antipin and Guhle, then I'd say that's a start.

But I am of the mind this team needs to operate under the assumption that we need to acquire a #1 D man.

I think this is slightly overblown. I think the entire d-core needs an upgrade. Adding Antipin, Guhle and a free agency move like Smith could make a huge difference. I think Risto is our guy and will look alot better when some pressure is taken off of him. Need to strengthen his supporting cast

So we are going to rely on 3 rookies to stabilize the Defense?

That sounds like a very risky plan.

- ImThatGuy

if the kid isn't ready, you grab a free agent for a year or 2


if you lose gorges, kulikov and franson

replace them with guhle, antipin and player x

can't be any worse and my guess is the break out passes will be much better

You need to have the Coach and GM along with the players on the same page, that's the first thing we need.

I certainly hope so, but I also have big doubts about it.

Most franchise #1 D men have positive effects on teammates, as of today Risto hasn't. Maybe a new coach helps. Don't know that yet

It's a young man's league. I'd rather rely on 3 hungry young guys than 3 vets looking for one last check

Getting pretty crazy around Town? When Lavy gets his teams going they go to the cup and Lavy has the boys going. I think I'm pulling for them now.
- Hatboro_Swords

Honestly I've been so busy the last few weeks so I haven't been out much.
FB and the news has been the only place I've paid attention to lately.
I'll try to get to a game this round at least and if they make it to the Cup I'll definitely go to a game.

I agree with that. I can see them going 8-8 easily. Denver and Raiders will also be better.

I think the Chargers will be good too. Let's hope KC finishes in the basement of the AFC West.

If those "young men" are not ready for the NHL much like Nylander this year, you ruin them and they do you know good.

the day i picked bennett was the day a rumor surfaced that florida was taking reinhart 1. being the german gretzky was faint praise when you look at the other german players (sorry kaiser)- uwe krupp, olaf kolzig, jochen hecht, and marcel goc. i mean heatley was born in west germany, but just because his dad played there. it really seemed like a long shot that murray was gonna draft a german kid with bennett still there.

Looking back on that, it's pretty clear that all 3 would be an option.

1 looks amazing, 1 looks decent, 1 looks like he is behind the development curve

Which is contrary to the narrative that Drai "wasn't ever in consideration"
