Welcome to Minnesota, Dylan Larkin

Goaltending wasn't the issue last year. No goalie wins with the pathetic efforts the team put forth in games 5 and 7 against Florida.

Except, free agency happens after the draft. You'd have to trade for his rights and Buffalo appear intent on re-signing him.

If the canes knock out Ottawa, Philly, and Montreal in one year, they’re all good with me.

He's leading the playoffs among goalies who played more than one round in Sv% at .923. Not doing the best against the Habs, but overall, he's been excellent. Also, Carolina doesn't really have any standout performances that have lasted more than one round, really. When that happens, voters tend...

Canes' rustiness was definitely on display last night.

Heineman should go, for sure. Sanchez I'm less sure of - it's not like Lukes was hitting well when he got hurt and Sanchez has more power in hit bat, which the Jays need. Lukes also has an option remaining, so he can be sent down without waivers.

I've been thinking about this recently, and have come to a similar conclusion. Pridham isn't bad at his job - if he was, he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did - but he's no longer someone who can be considered ahead of the class when it comes to understanding the CBA. If he was, why were...

lol. Berube tactics with Oilers goaltending would be hilarious.

This was the obvious way to go. Seems like a nice enough guy but not the right coach for this team.

Free agency is going to be all 3rd liners and depth defencemen, huh?

About time Lauer gets DFA’d. He’s been awful this season.

Yup. The biggest difference between the two seasons was the quality of the goaltending. 24/25 goaltending was elite. 25/26 was . . . inconsistent at best. Overall defensive play/puck possession time continued the downward trend we saw happening last season, too, which is heavily on coaching...

If the Islanders are willing to move Schaefer for the pick . . . not going to happen, but that's roughly what it would take to even be a real temptation.

Exactly. No need to galaxy brain this one

At least something good came out of this awful season!

That's basically where I am - let's see what they do this summer, at the very least, before declaring these the worst hirings ever. That being said, if Berube is still around by the draft, I'll happily invite questions into what exactly they're doing and what the plan is. I don't expect them to...

Chayka certainly wouldn’t be my first choice, but I can’t judge him too harshly for his time with the Coyotes, since, you know, they’re the Coyotes. Hopefully, with a more stable ownership situation and better resources, he’ll be able to show the promise people once thought he had.

Yup. We’re well into the TMI era

Canes and Sens are very similar teams in terms of play style, but Carolina has much better depth and much more experience. Not a huge surprise Ottawa is losing, though I wouldn't have expected they'd be on the verge of being eliminated already.
