New 4th line next year
Campbell and Paille will not be resigned. Just heard it from the horses mouth (PC)
I was talking odds and luck only. Odds of a 96 pt team not making the NHL playoffs are roughly the same as an 11-5 team not making the NFL playoffs. Ignoring how you got there and whether you deserve it, you have to be at least a little unlucky not to make the playoffs in either scenario.
You absolutely NEED both. Look at the Rangers, Capitals or the Ducks. All teams with speed, but can also play a heavy nasty game. Guys like Kreider are what we need. Speed and nastiness mixed with skill. We can't have a team full of Pasta's. The guy is going to be a great player, but you still need to make sure you have those physical guys. Something we were SORELY lacking last year.
Why can't we have both ?
