But remember this is not KA’s roster.
We make the playoffs its because Its Botts roster.
We dont make the playoffs its because KA sucks. - ZiggyBuff
adams sacrificed this season by sitting on his hands for the goalies, and bottom half of the d core
oilers got Ekholm, we got Stillman
Colorado got Georgiev, we got Comrie
the bruins get Lindholm and we get Lyubushkin
devils get Meier and we get Greenway
jets get Niederreiter and we bring back Vinny
he has the prospects and picks to make roster upgrades and just sits in the corner and holds onto the ball

News to me. When was this?
We all would of been thrilled with that at any time before last season.
Maybe the horrible coaching of granato seen something and told bottom 5GM to keep him? - ZiggyBuff

Good post, agreed on most.
I think you answered your own question a bit.
Years of failure forced our franchise to need to leave the net wide open for levi. Years of bad ownership and management.
Other teams wouldn't have done this or needed too
Levi is a jim Kelly moment to me. Now sign ry-jo Cornelius bennett. ☝️ - Boss34
Didn't answer any ? of mine, just shows the failure of this Franchise that you are afraid to make trades to get better this year and bring in players because you are afraid of blocking prospects. Because you have been that bad and they have your Balls are in there hands controlling the situation. |

Because he didn't want to block Levi or Johnson from signing. |

There just kids on defense, not overvalued IMO - Boss34
top 5 gm's don't give Jacob Bryson 1.85 mil per on a multi year contract though |

Thats what im saying 36. There not perfect. Rookie gm and coach.
But they also make some incredibly decisions. But when someone says something positive about them then its Botts team.
The second we falter a little in a year of amazing growth, we want to dump coach and gm. - ZiggyBuff
I have never said that, and they have done some really good things, and they have kicked the can of a few other things. Botts will be brought up because some of this team is his. And they basically admitted sitting on there hands to get certain players signed, which is all fine and Dandy, but don't say it as your team probably could have made the playoffs with a couple more tweaks on Defense. That's bad business to a fan base that's already frustrated. |

Management never pitched the tent for this season, that's the reality. - washedup20
It was a development year they wanted the rookies and young guys to take the next step so they can take over For a heavier load .
This plan was set in the summer No one knew that the rookies ,young guys were gonna leap ahead this much .
No matter what they were sticking to the plan |

team took a hit when samuelsson was out for long stretches
perhaps they should have made a move when a few were on the block |

I am with you, UPL would be a good goalie if given some support. What do you think of Zucker? - RhinoFan

It's not failure, just a slower approach.
Sorry it's not fast enough for your taste.
Didnt we just pick owen power #1OA?
How soon is going from dead last to a playoff spot expected with a kid defenseman or 3?
I'll be disappointed next year if moves aren't made, I'll be with you.
I'm sure you've heard this before, you're a bit premature in your expectations IMO.
1 year....👍 |

Risto trade was a home run (Rosen, Gustav Karlsson, 2nd rounder in 2023)
Reinhart trade was a home run (Levi and Kulich)
Eichel trade is always a loss when you lose the franchise Center but the way Tuch is playing and the sum of the parts being Krebs, Ostlund, and Greenway (who has been great since coming back in the lineup) makes the trade pretty close to even.
Tage and Cozens extensions are both home runs.
Picking Quinn over who was on the board at 8 looks pretty shrewd so far.
Moving up for Peterka looks great.
Savoie at 9 looks like a home run. - Swedish_Jesus
Yep but you’re being to hard on the Eichel trade - Tuch has like 10 points more than mbumhole Jack this season - it’s a grand slam of a trade |

Bottom gms don't sign tage and cozens before they explode onto the seen.
You're nitpicking , it's a small insignificant move in comparison to the important trades and signings.
You know this |

You're acting like the coach and the team folded the tents.
8 game losing streak killed them picasso - Boss34
No directed solely at you, just used your post as a jumping off point.
That's the thing though, they indeed did fold their tents in some very meaningful games from the Allstar Break forward. They were no-shows in many games against lesser opponents and were completely outclassed in other big games against playoff teams. And they won some against the same...consistently inconsistent.
Still, up til April 6th, they had a chance at PO's and were playing meaningful games.
Conversely, they may have been able to qualify for the PO's had the FO made a meaningful acquisition rather than 2 that are headscratchers.
There are two sides to the coin.

well we needed an RD and Ryan plays LD
but if that is the case, you take the 2nd round pick when he walks
you don't waste another year of dahlin to see if a prospect signs or not
there is no plan B's for the d, or the goalies before levi signed and that is what killed the season
as well as lack of secondary scoring at times, to a lesser degree |
