If it is as simple as "not guilty" with no other other new info, I'd imagine that wouldn't be good enough. People's minds are made up already, some insane information that wasn't known previously would have to come out for most people to even considered welcoming him back to the NHL.
I'd care. Would further erode my confidence in Fitz's decision making.
Not true at all Meier is a tank when healthy and Nico plays full sheet goes to the front of the net ....I get he's not a bruiser and I feel we need guys that are tougher to play against but there is other ways of being tough to play against and Hughes and Bratt are good examples of that their skill and skating is elite and that alone makes them a tough out.....By that comment which one are you trading and who goes in their place
He'll be a ufa, maybe sign somewhere, maybe not. My guess is that he goes overseas before he has a chance in the NHL
I'm just big on Hischier/Bratt & how they compliment one another. Even moreso than Hughes/Bratt, which I am not a huge fan of anymore TBH.
It's one line. They scored. They held up reasonably well against the other team's best players. They they play about 1/3 of the game at most and apparently both Bratt and Meier were hurt while doing it. Don't make it out to be more than it is. I'm saying it's one stable line to start with that has worked. Please show me where I said they saved the season or won any games by themselves? Show me the "celebration". They as a unit played well in my view. Do you think they sucked? Your logic here is flawed in my view. Everything failed this season so just sell off the players and fold the team. It's proof they all suck and are losers. I don't disagree that the team needs a healthy Jack to have success but a healthy lineup in general was missing this season.
If anything at all sticks he will be done IMO. Even full not guilty without any groundbreaking new info would still not be good enough.
A few pages ago you were saying that there was no situation that they couldn't handle and they were great.
If they do move Roy, I think that could be a deal that makes sense for them. Considering they have quite a few pending UFAs and who knows who they will bring back. Plus others coming up next season too. They get a young cost-controlled scoring winger with another season on ELC. Holtz would prob do well there if they put him next to a 2WC like Karlsson TBH. I think I would consider that move from an NJ standpoint for sure. But to your point about Karlsson maybe being the guy who ends up moving, some have suggested Shea Theodore if they look ahead & don't think they can extend him a year from now. Still holding out hope they see Roy as a luxury 4C & can spend that money better in surrounding their top three centers or simply creating flexibility.
Sometimes good teams have a million injuries and horrible goaltending.
Yes, they could play against the best players on the other team and they did a good job. It's an opinion, not some sort of consensus group think. Don't oversell that. One person is not a celebration. It's one line it's a start. The bottom six of Tierney, broken Nosek, Halonen, broken Bastian, and whoever else still play about 20-22 minutes per game and stink. On what planet was this team going to win with that and broken Hughes making up about 40 minutes of the game. But sure, take one line that worked in awful circumstances and use that to make some point that they actually stink because of other factors. You'd be a good ambulance chaser if you decide to come out of retirement. That's the way they argue. it works well depending upon the audience.
You're looking for positives in the face of utter disaster...good for you on being positive....but the actual results don't match the positivity.
