Umm... there have been 30+ teams for several years.  The competition hasn't changed.  The one thing very noticeable this year is that there are a LOT more RHD available than usual.  Even more have been added as they were not qualified today (ie. Nils Lundqvist among others).  

 

I think Sat's point (while not very well articulated) is that Utah is now a player in FA whereas Arizona was not....

 

I see the defense market going up big time myself over the next few seasons.

I hope we don’t, despite him having a bounce back season and wining a cup. I’m just not interested in a re-tread.

Really, the only issue was the demko injury and only losing one key member of your team over the course of a season is definitely things going right.  If you keep your core guys intact over a year, you're thrilled.   

I felt like reffing def tilted against us second half of the season, injuries piled on down the stretch Joshua demko Lindholm PDG and lingering injury to petey, season went good but losing your starter is far from perfect

Losing your starter, absolutely.  Other than that, things went pretty smooth for Van, but they definitely got where they got based on the first half of their season

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to get at, the second half of the season the wheels fell off not an ideal cruise through finish to a season had to pick it up end of the year not to lose the division

Exactly, had that happened earlier in the season, they could easily have missed the playoffs.  It doesn't take much in this era, to be on the outside looking in.  Playoffs from next year is far from a guarantee

Luckily tocchet knows how to keep his team professional and already challenging petey to be the best shape of his life at training camp

Okay at least we know.

 

Time to fill out our depth.

[Snoop Hogg]

Go after Stamkos or Skinner now!

[canucks curse]

FLA has just under 20 in cap and need to sign 9 players lol

if the sign Reinhardt to 10.5 then that gives them like 8 something for 8 players 

good luck 

[Goose]

Unless Canucks get a ripping deal I say save some cap room and be patient for an impact scorer.

 

Dillon, Duhaime, Sherwood, Raddysh, Kylington are guys Id be interested in

I'm happy this isn't the road they went down and I honestly don't think it was ever a serious target for PA.

 

Now they can focus on making this a deep team and address that one player who they think will put them over the top when they're closer to the top..........and when there's a player more worthy of that kind of accolade

And if the Oilers kept doing what they did early on they would have too.

 

For crying out loud, apply the same standards across the board.

Never allow common sense and logic to stand in the way of a good trolling ... like arguing with a coffee table and about as productive to engage in dialogue with some that creep around this forum of ours.

This whole sentence reads like a not so vague putdown.

 

tldr- your opinions are ok, but no need to diss others for thinking differently.

I think a lot of people here were not really being realistic in the first place.

 

"Realistic"? "Chuds"? "Maga"?

 

Sort of like that?

We’re missing out on all our targets. Do something, Canucks!

We can't target anyone yet other than our own players.   Soon...we will find out.

No mention of Tanev?

What I've learned is to be patient and not panic.

 

Desperation moves in order to "do something" aren't always the best in the end. 

 

This team's not too far off and our management group has managed to pull off some surprises - even if they don't take place tomorrow.

 

Some want a saviour and to put all the eggs in one basket but it is a team game and chemistry/fit is as important as anything.
