Gibson already said no. Like Murray did.

Comrie. Upl to start 23-24 season is unacceptable, period.

Go spend all the money on getting Irbe back here.

Trade for Korpse now! Re-sign for 3 years. UPL as back up.

Anderson can retire.

Comrie I don’t really care what you do with him.

Why would Korpse take 3 years? Guy is 28. He likely is looking longer term after the season he is having and I bet it's a weak goalie market for the most part.

Sign Korpisalo to 4 years.

Worry about if Levi pushes for starting later on.

If he does trade Korpisalo.

oh give me a break. Do you really expect to be in the playoffs with a 41 year old goalie and a rookie who's numbers suck A$$.

We have beat 9 of 10 top teams in the western conference, we have beat Caps, Bos, Pitts in the east all while having the youngest team in the NHL and Poopity goalies.

WE ARE FINE.... We have the 4th highest offense in the NHL with games in hand.

what is killing us is not scoring.. it is Goalies and defense..

No, I would say it's offense to, it disappears.

Yes. In the traditional stats and the fancies

9.35 GSAx versus -6.5 for UPL

That's pretty dramatic if they're serious about winning next year you can't roll out Comrie and UPL

But Korpisalo career save percentage is .903 and we've been fooled by one good year before Carter Eric Hutton Comrie

Don’t be surprised if Duclair makes his return to the Panthers lineup Friday night.
He has been full go in practice for a while now. They expect him to play, but won’t make the roster move(s) until after Friday’s morning skate.

Bennett will be back, too. He was out the last few games, and his presence on line2 was noticeably missed.

Only difference is they did it with good teams (Blues and Jets) Korp is doing it with a VERY bad Jackets team

If you look back over a few years, it does make you wonder how good he is.

Multiyear deal as a #1 would make me nervous.

That’s the worst thing about kids’ hockey. Crazy early start times.
You could probably be back to your hotel by 10:30

I think he wants 5 x 5-ish is my guess. I guess you'd have to decide if the Levi kid is the real future or not. If so maybe it's bringing in Martin Jones for a few years. He's a UFA. Varlamov is also a free agent so maybe he would cheap enough as a stop gap.

Good luck to your daughter and her team!
How many teams are in the tournament? Awesome how much the game has grown down here. Hardly anyone even knew what a hockey stick was when I first moved here. (and then the northerners kept on coming down to stay )

We gotta be at the rink at 6:30 Saturday morning, that's my only pause

Then again I don't expect much out of our team this year we are very young and struggled most of the year so why not make it a fun experience for her

My daughter is 9

She has been hooked on the game since she was 4 when I was reffing the USA Women's National Team tune up games for the Olympics when they were training in Tampa.

The kid eat sleeps and breathes the game. Doesn't hurt that I run the rink in Orlando...

I wish she would take a break here and there but she loves it.
