Which is really the most depressing aspect of the whole thing
There's still hope MacKinnon would be that guy.

What matters is neither player should be expected to take any more big jumps in their play level.
I think after next year is when we decide what to do in terms of resetting things. Does Mack step it up? Do Bigras/Zads start to become top 4 material? Is Duchene a 65 point player or can he consistently be closer to that ppg season he had? Can EJ and Landy add more consistent offense instead of going nuts for 5 games at a time then going ghost?
If a lot of that doesn't happen, I think moving some of these guys needs to happen. Because we'll never win a cup unless it does.

His history tells us that we may already have the answer to that.
See, I don't know. Because his assists are down because nobody on the team can ****ing finish. I could see him getting over 70 consistently at least. The talent is there.
When we were 4th in scoring everyone was chipping in and he got his apples. But when you're like 20th or whatever the numbers don't come. But a playmaker shouldn't have more goals than assists. That's a reflection of the team more than Duchene.
That's a pretty big trade. I'm not a big Gudbranson fan so I like it for the Panthers. Did the Canucks even need to send the extra picks?
McCann won't need protected which is a plus for Florida
I really like Gudbranson and thought he was starting to really turn it around this year, but that's a lot to pay for him. If that's the price for dmen, Barrie should 100% return at least the 4th. Any less than that and Sakicn'co screwed up.
Would Florida GM have done this trade?
Barrie and Kulikov would be a sick pairing. Finally gets a good partner.
But they aint got GoodbrandSON now? Cant see that happening. Unless yeah..BjugSTUD? for Barrie? eh..?
Yeah, but I chose to go after Drouin instead. lol
I do think they will move Trocheck or Bjugstad to RW as both have played there before, but I think it is also possible with the emergence of Trocheck and him not being signed yet it gives them options as well. If they get Trocheck under a good contract Bjugs could get them a very good return, or they pull an Avs and move Trocheck due to his demands.
I wouldn't rule out a Barrie to Florida idea either as the two teams have been known to discuss trades in the past. I thought if that happened though Gudbranson would be the piece coming back so who knows?
Can't think of any immediate help to FLorida on defense. Right or no?
