He says this every year. I still have The Tapes though, so the leverage on him still stands, he'll be back or in the news in a few weeks.

Oh my!! Well whatever it takes.

An unlucky game.

Ran out of gas last night. I knew the devils would be the biggest test. Once the Bruins implode, I see the Devils as best in the East. They are solid top to bottom for many years to come.

There is still I flickering light at the end of the tunnel for an in this year at least. How many April games have we watched the last 15 years that meant nothing excerpt looking at the kids getting some playing time.

The needs still need to be addressed this off season.

We are not a playoff team with just UPL/Levi
Bottom 6 needs grit, speed
Is top 6 truly set? One injury seems to throw a monkey wrench into that plan
Stillman and Lybushkin need to be 7,8 d-men for depth
Can’t be worst PK in the league

East is far to difficult to expect us to be a 50
Win team without addressing these needs.

We are a good but fragile team. One kink in the armour seems to send us on a skid

Adams has the easiest offseason:

- Upgrade goaltending from UPL and Comrie
- top 4 defensemen
- trade olofsson
- try to upgrade Clauge / Bryson 7th d

For brownie bonus points sign Patrick Kane -> I am not saying they should. I just think it’s an option

An unlucky game.

If Peterka is a half foot back and Skinner stuffs that one on the line, we're headed to OT. Close game for sure against one of the best. I've complained about moral victories, but this year does seem to qualify as such.

That's the perfect wishlist.

Added two. Other than that, perfect list

That's the perfect wishlist.

Except for the idea of signing Patrick Kane.

I know the phrase moral victory doesn't go well here. But as far as the season goes, a lot of things came together for the future of this franchise. I'm thrilled to see where they go and disappointed it's another year of missing.

What a stark contrast to being a Pens fan right now.

i have no idea if Kane would actually add positive value here.

Skinner-Thompson-Tuch
Peterka-Cozens-Quinn
Mittelstadt-Krebs-Greenway

where do you even put the guy?

Yeah that is a fair point about Kane.

Greenway should be on the 4th line though. I can’t stand him in the top 9.

Savoie or Kulich on the 3rd line.

4th should be

Rousek - Jost - greenway

I see I added Krebs twice, because he's gonna doubt shift

I have severe doubts either of those guys are part of the starting lineup. Certainly not both.

The defense and the goaltending as a whole need to improve if they have intentions of stepping up again. Kevyn needs to make that happen.
- TheSabresTaco

Indeed, the line between playoff teams and not making it lines up with their goal differential for the season.

wood sucks.

So how's everyone feeling today ? Are you Happy with how things went this year.!
- Buff36

wasted year that could have allowed this young core to have playoff experience

Adams could have made a few tweaks to get at the dance with his cap and plethora of prospect, many will not be nhl regulars

he needs to make those few moves this summer

Spot on, but I would love to have Patty Kane on this team. Trade Commie and UPL, sign "Veteran" goalie MAF, Varlarmov etc... Get 2 solid d-man, Trade Olo....

Pretty Easy job for GMKA this year...
