Like you said, they gotta compete every night. Every night is a job interview. Aside from a few players, every night you are playing for the next contract. Every night, you're trying not to get waived. They have to complete.
But as a fan, a top two pick is much more exciting of course 😄
You want to see Mantha and AA score 30 goals each and have them lose. Best of all worlds 😅


Yup, its all about the Benjamins and losing just wont cut it.

To be fair though, this year i think its goaltending has been our downfall (in terms of draft position) yeah we had some dreadful stretches, but bernier was okay if you look at the whole season, and howie was great. If howie wasnt playing quite as well, Larkin, AA, and Mantha could all score 30 and we'd probably still finish last, thanks to that rock solid D we have :rofl:

Its totally weird talking about these things ass backwards lmao

Yea Howard really has been great since he came back from his injury a couple years ago. I used to be critical of him but he's stepped up his game big time.

Wings D truly is the downfall.
They also, as does everyone, need a game breaker.
Our 3rd and 4th lines are good. It's that our 1st and 2nd lines are made up mostly of 2nd liners. And our D is built from a defensive strategy from 2010.

Can't wait for Ericsson to be gone already, not sure why we kept him because of his size? He can't fight for shit 3rd liner imo
Abby's contract is too much + Dekeyser + Nielson
Frk is a RFA after this season and we didn't trade Vanek at the deadine why?

Iirc vanek turned down a trade or something. Said he wanted to be here in
And abdelkader needs to step it up. He is among the worst contacts in the league...

Yeah i was shocked when i heard his contract, trying to replace Holmstrom.
I like Vanek hopefully he taught the younger kids some things if this is his last season

AA scores 30th B)

First time wings have multiple 30 goal scorers since 2008/09, when Z, magic man and the mule all got 30+
