Raiders over Chiefs

Patriots over Bills.

Because...of course.

Really looking forward to seeing how he plays over the next 4 games. Tough schedule coming up with Winnipeg, Minnesota and Seattle.

Hell, even the Flyers have won their last four. I think their goalie is healthy again.

Wow, I had not realized that. They are completely blowing their chance for Bedard even though their roster is dog bleep.

The bottom 3 of that division:

Pittsburgh: 44
Philly: 37
Columbus: 24

Unfortunately Kulich had that puck roll away, had a damn good tournament. Ostlund definitely has some hands, but he needs to grow. Rosen is a ?. I wouldn't hesitate to use the last 2 in a deal.

Sure, but at least he would be on a good team. Columbus could suck for a while.

Might be a bit tougher net year, have like 13 guys signed with 15m or so in cap space.
- Buff36


They've got Rossi coming at forward next season and possibly both Lambos and Faber on defense.

Not sure when Wallstedt will be ready in goal, but they are setup well to deal with the giant dead cap this season and the next two.

Doubtful they're going to suck for a while with who they're going to pick in the upcoming draft and the prospects they have coming.

Columbus should be pretty good in a few years, their d prospects are solid

right - "in a few years". Either way, Columbus might have been one of the worst landing spots for him given his age.

They could be good as soon as next season if they get a top 2 pick, along with all their players returning healthy and the combination of Jiricek and Mateychuk coming for their defense.

Sure, if the sun, moon and stars align maybe they'll start to go in the right direction. That's a lot of "ifs". The bigger point still stands - he seems to have thought that they would be good this season. There is no way he goes there thinking they might be good in 2024 - 2025.

Would be awesome if management went out and got a Dman. Even if they want to keep Power with Joker/Clauge.

Just get Bryson and Fitz off my lawn and get some help to alleviate the pressure of the big 3

There's a path to them being good next season without any impact from their first round pick in the upcoming draft.

It would not take the sun moon and stars to align.

They need to shore up that defense first.

And they've got 3-4 coming in the near future. Until those guys make it and show they can play they wont be turning any corners

Exactly. It takes years for D to mature. Also, it is going to be difficult for them to make a lot of hay in the east. They're going to be in the same boat we are in - looking at the veteran teams seeing which ones they can pick off. The other problem they are going to have is all of the other teams ahead of them in their rebuild. He should have gone out west.
