It's a cautionary tale on the steep cost of acquiring a 'foundational' d-men and what happens if they aren't.....Flame-outs coughed up a first rounder this year which is looking more like a lottery pick now; and two second rounders in the next three years for Hamonic....That's ugly...actually makes the Gudbranson trade look decent by comparison.

After Foundational Sutter does his "these last 10 games are our Stanley Cup" speech I fully expect a .500 record the rest of the way. We'll finish behind Buffalo, Arizona and Detroit and pick 6th.

Wow.

Can't say I saw Arizona doing this a second straight year.

Amazing.

This is kind of our thing.


At least now that the lottery odds are so shit I no longer care. Back during the McEichel race to the bottom I wanted to run my head into a wall :laugh:

It’s a damn shame because this would be a much different story with one of Eichel McDavid or Matthews there. You guys have had worse luck than us, but stayed tuned!
