Let it burn
The problem with LD is between the ears. He can't handle pressure. Let can let in 5 goals but Tampa will still win by one.
Let's see how he does in the playoffs. Bryz won a lot in the regular season too.

Imagine being crap for years, drafting high most years, having the world's best player, lots of money, sitting near bottom of standings, and having to trade your current starting goalie so you can afford to get one if your better D into lineup because you have F'ed the Cap up so badly.Oilers traded Talbot to Philly for Stolarz.
The owner is the problem but that won't change. he needs to hire a consultant to help select a head of hockey operations. They should then get rid of all current hockey executives to change the culture. This is a culture problem that starts at the top an trickles down. This is the only way.Imagine being crap for years, drafting high most years, having the world's best player, lots of money, sitting near bottom of standings, and having to trade your current starting goalie so you can afford to get one if your better D into lineup because you have F'ed the Cap up so badly.
I don't mind this trade offer, I still think Crouse has some serious upside so I'd like to hang on to him.That Russo article about the Wild reset is impossible to interpret. They want to make hockey deals (roster players), that save them cap and increase offseason flexibility, without necessarily tanking their playoff chances, and they prefer prospects to picks. How they hell can trades like those be navigated?
To MIN:
Goligoski
Fischer
Crouse
Westerlund
To ARI:
Zucker
Foligno(50%)
Pateryn
Their roster gets a need filled (top four D) and some depth (LW,RW) at the expense of an area of strength (top six W). They get younger and cheaper, and won’t have to wait on draft picks to develop. Gives them more cap to play with in the off-season and shakes up the veteran core quite a bit.
I don’t know. That article is too hard to unpack for me.
Our motivation in such a deal is simply to get Zucker, who’s a bonafide top line caliber scorer. We also get some physical veteran depth in Foligno, who can legitimately beat the **** out of NHL players, and Pateryn, who’s basically as effective as depth, big physical stay at home D can be in this day and age.
We lose Crouse and Fischer who are likely to be good to very good bottom six players and are still young at 21 years old each. Also, Goligoski provided some nice versatility up and down our D pairs, on both sides, as we’ve been decimated by injury.

Very seldom do you see these big trades. Zucker has had only one good year. This deal doesn't really excite me. We are giving up too early on Fischer and Crouse.I don't mind this trade offer, I still think Crouse has some serious upside so I'd like to hang on to him.
Maybe we can do
Goligoski + Fischer + Westerlund for Zucker + Pateryn
Minnesota passes on that rather easily, IMO.I don't mind this trade offer, I still think Crouse has some serious upside so I'd like to hang on to him.

God I want one!!!
Watching a team above us get steam rolled by the Blues too makes me feel a little better
Best team I have watched against the Coyotes all year. They played a complete game with no or very few mistakes.St Louis really looks like champs nowadays. It's shocking. But they have waited many years.
If not the best they are right up there. They played an exceptional game.Best team I have watched against the Coyotes all year. They played a complete game with no or very few mistakes.
They beat us 4-0, then beat Colorado 3-0, and just beat Minnesota 4-0, all on the road. Like I said, I didn't think we played poorly but got run over by a freight trainIf not the best they are right up there. They played an exceptional game.
