I legit don’t understand the impulse to all-star the roster after we just saw that this team succeeded with fewer big names and more chemistry and commitment.
What I mean is, they don’t need to load up. Our core great players got the job done when surrounded by the right complementary players not a bunch of other superstars.You already forgot the superstar players Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Backstrom, Carlson and Holtby putting up superstar performances? The playoffs weren't even a month ago.

Does anyone know what the average age of the last 10 cup winning teams was? I figure we probably scale to the average range. Anyways, my point is we were really fortunate with injuries this year, most of our players went the distance, next year given fatigue from the run and just the injury bug regressing to the mean, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of our youth get a chance. Pinho, Gersich, Walker, Boyd, Bowey, Siegenthaler, even Johansen could all see some decent chunk age of games. That's exciting to me.
Frankly, now more than ever, I realize the regular season is pointless. I would prefer we **** around with our rosters then. Just make the playoffs is really all you need to accomplish. Even the BS positioning for home ice or for opponent is pointless. Think of how none of that mattered in the least.
We don't need to do anything, we just won a cup, they can go shoot up heroin in Mexico for all we care now.
I just meant that recoup time is definitely impacted by age.Average age seems like a pointless metric, it's completely different thing if you win a cup powered by under 23 Toews/Kane like stars vs winning a cup powered by an older core with the young guys being depth on the bottom lines and pairing
All other teams don’t have Lars sellers and DSPs in tandem with Ovechkins and Backstroms. That’s my point. It’s the mix that matters. Like baking a cake. If all you have is butter and sugar you can have something sweet but it still won’t work. Likewise flour and milk will get you a batter but it’s bland. You need all four in the right proportions.

Where do you see this?Sounds like kempny rejected his contract offer. Isabelle says more discussions will happen tomorrow
Where do you see this?
I could be wrong but the need for discussions likely means he didnt like it
I’m ok if he is talking to Gmbm this week and not waiting till next. Wilson is the next name I want to start hearing
Beagle already drawing offers from Canucks and prob other teams.Beagle probably first. There's no rush for wilson

Matt Bradley and Hendricks were like beagle untill they got overpaid. We should not be the team to over pay him
