I meant the coach and or GM more than the players. Funny how the Hawks/Bowman were criticized because of their cap problems while they won 3 cups and so many teams are in cap hell now and don't have anything to show for it.

Maurice should have been gone two seasons ago. Think Chevy will survive, tho.

This TB Lightning team(Cooper, Stamkos/Hedman/Kucherov/etc) will never win a championship.

They’re mentally weak. Soft and fragile. This game 1 collapse is a microcosm of who they are. A great regular season team that folds in the post season. They’ll probably still win this series but there’s zero chance they ever sniff a Cup.

Bruins vs Blues is gonna be the SCF and should be one hell of a series

Because he's Russian?
- SoftServe

Yes.

And he’s already signed to a KHL Contract.

And he’s a wing. Strike 3.

Hello Trouba?
- SoftServe

I just don't think Trouba is going to be worth the money. At 6M? All day long. At 8M? I really don't like that number for him. And I like him.

At least their window isn't open yet. But not much pretty on either side. Move up football season!

No idea if they are soft and fragile but they sure put on a display of how not to play defense tonight.

You won't be alone. Hawks are getting their next #1 center there.

If the jets go out in the first round there will be a big shake up.

truboa +++ then I consider trading the 3rd overall pick. Out of first 3 presuming pod will come over, which out big 3 are ready to play right away next season?

Donskoi is a healthy scratch? That’s odd.

Apparently they’d prefer Haley and Melker Karlsson??

I feel like this series has one too many Karlssons...

A couple of things. You aren't getting ++ with Trouba. Its an awful lot to ask for an 18 year old to come over to a new country and make an impact. Language barrier. Different ice surface are a couple of huge issue he will have to adjust to. Add in his numbers in both the KHL and MHL are less than impressive. He most likely isn't ready for the NHL at this point.

Probably trying to match the physical play of Vegas' 4th line. Which may not be the best idea.
