I thought we gave up on the domino theory in the 80s.
Dominos falling is simply physics. Can't argue with physics.

I like Brassard but I’m not convinced he’s a long term answer.
You guys have it kind of wrong. Canes will lose the next game, and then go full sell mode. We'll all be shocked when Francis somehow trades Derek Ryan for a 2nd round pick and Lee Stempniak for a semi decent prospect. One thing Ron Francis is good at is selling off his UFA assets.
Well they have to spend SOMEWHERE right (re. Duchene)? Duchene I’m not worried about. He’s the 1C next year and he’s signed through the end of next year. Any decision on him can be made a full year from now, when we have more information. Thus far he’s been a good addition...we gave up a lot, but he’s the best player in the deal and you know what they say about that.Yeah, that ownership situation in Ottawa is brutal.
How are they going to afford Duchene then S1C2? Or do you think they'll find a way to offload some salary between now and then. In your view, are they really looking to move Karlsson and Hoffman? Or is that just media trying to drum up interest?
Trade for Karlsson, then focus the offense on trying to get Karlsson tip ins with Ryan and PDG.
It isn't as if Faulk adds any modicum of physicality. The main difference between Faulk and Karlsson is that sometimes Karlsson's offense can actually overcome how bad he is defensively. Can't say that has ever been true of Faulk by both the eye and stat tests.
Faulk's past 4 seasons: -19, -22, -18, -19
Always the worst +/- for D on the team by a mile.
Brassard is just a longer term rental to this team. He's not a real #1C, but he is a solid playmaker who can put the puck in the net. And he does have size and doesn't play small. He's a guy who will be 31 on September but who has only put up 1 20 goal season and is currently playing at a pace for about 51 points (but will likely only get in the 40s). I'd say he'd be an okay "get", somebody who could mentor young Necas.
On a lighter note, Canes fans everywhere when thinking of GMRF around TDL:
we'll pass a few of the clubs on a down-cycle, and we'll be stuck in our cycle of mediocrity indefinitely.
If we got Karlsson, I would freak out. I am willing to give up a lot for him, everyone except Aho, Necas can go for him IMO
Yes. The #badnwagon draft this spring will be for good. Dundon brings in new guys by the Entry Draft.Would you even send me away?

Some go-getters who won't allow the prospect threads be started by that one guy.
The lackluster enthusiasm was identified as an issue already by the previous owner.Dundon will clean the house, not even the fans are safe.
Its funny, because I know more than a few STM who are so b-hurt about the $40 lower level tickets and games where the 300 level was closed off that they are swearing off season tickets forever and are openly questioning whether they want to be fans of the team anymore.Yes.

Indefinitely is a very long time. Surely there's be a cycle where we'd suck too.

I can honestly say I don't know any of those people. I'm not disrespecting their opinion (although I disagree with it), I just haven't heard anybody outside of some Twitterati being super vocal.Its funny, because I know more than a few STM who are so b-hurt about the $40 lower level tickets and games where the 300 level was closed off that they are swearing off season tickets forever and are openly questioning whether they want to be fans of the team anymore.
