We will, when it matters. We are mid-build right now.

The Nic Deslauriers deal is 4 years + just under $2m/per season.

What are the flyers doing?

Team was 88 goals behind the 8th spot in goal differential. A backup goalie and 6th D don't shave much off that.

Legitimately, bare minimum to compete for 8th would be a top 6 forward, top4 D, and a reasonable starting goalie.

It is a difference in philosophy. We aren't trying to make the playoffs next year, we are trying to win a championship. Incremental upgrades this year don't get us closer to that. The fastest and best way to it is to develop from within.

I'd much rather be us than teams like Columbus or Dallas. If you aren't building or trying to maintain then you are chasing.

What are we going to do? It happened. It shouldn't affect what we do going forward.

There is nothing this team can do without major trades that will make us a perennial playoff contender. Development of what's here must continue with most.

It's just banter with us and doesn't get personal. I've never been mad and I don't think you have either. Guessing stripes knows that.

VO is signed, Tokarski is gone. Next chapter.

Nice try, I think we both know that it's impossible for me to drop the tokarski gig. 👊

What's the analytics on the new defenseman?

I completely understand your position but do you think there needs to be more context behind how we finished in the standings? After all it took us more than half the season to ice our full roster.

When the depth goalie gets pressed into action, don't you root for them?

Ilya Lyubushkin is twice the player that Ben Chiarot is and yet Ben is paid 4x as much.

The Canadiens have agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract (2022-23 to 2024-25) with forward Juraj Slafkovsky.

Philly has 3.4 mill left under the cap. Let that sink in. Horrible cap, few prospects, bad gm, haven't bottomed out yet (or realized that they need to bottom out).

I Still think the buffalo Sabres are top 10 in points from defenseman next season.

Who's he pairing with? Better than joker?

They got a real goalie and a real defender. Let's get to it.
