Figure the season is in that “well, may as well be over” stage. Nice to see Wright doing so well.

Wright is proving he will be up here full time next season. Hopefully Firkus lights it up at CV next season and gets called up in the end like Wright this season.

I guess I thought Vejmelka a better goalie than this, chuffed for Wright but that goal was absolutely brutal

No matter whether meaningful games or not, Beniers and Wright putting up points and playing well can only help their confidence going into off season training.

It kind of helps my sense of expectation going into next season, too, in the sense the future suddenly doesn't seem as potentially forbidding as it did even a month ago.

This.

In addition to Matty and Shane finding their groove, I think it's potentially a big deal that Bura is starting to contribute more too.

He got a nice raise from Francis to sign here and I want to see him hit 30 goals given a season where he actually stays healthy.

Might be the last time we played the Arizona version of the coyotes

Will miss the great jersey but not much else.

I feel for the true fans, and there are some, and the hellish rollercoaster they’ve been on.

Salt Lake City Salty Dogs?

Salt Lake City Salty Dogs?

Wrong end of the continent this time around, but I'm rooting for Quebec City to regain a franchise soon..

Funny, I’ve actually been a bit the opposite. Seeing Burakovsky and Tanev start putting up points in meaningless games against other eliminated teams has had me thinking “oh cool NOW you want to start chipping in?”

Agreed. For nothing games, there’s not a pressure for the team leaders to produce. It’s better for the rookies, to see if they are capable of handling the pressure.

I don't think there's any chance of another Canadian team for now. Houston likely next then maybe Atlanta again.

That's fair, he hasn't shown much since signing. Certainly not enough to justify that salary. I was hoping he'd be able to hit 60 points like he did his last year in Colorado, but that was a contract year after all.

Salt Lake is getting all the attention
