Yeah playoffs. Florida has a 98% chance as of today. If Q and his squad somehow manage to mess that up, the nhl might as well relocate the franchise asap.

Yeah Staal isn't exactly setting the world on fire. We got centers like that already. Makes no sense to add another one.

We need to play for .400 for the rest of the season to make it.

But that would be so Panthers to find a way to miss it....

Soooo .... Z gonna play or Z gonna sit out?

Deadline is 2 weeks away

Deadline is 2 weeks away

And your guess within the next 2 weeks is....?

I'm trying to even think what our 1 biggest need is that we can reasonably address at the deadline.

Assuming we can only improve 1:

Shutdown defenseman
Sniper on the wing
2way C who can win faceoffs

Am I missing anything?

I’d like to add someone who is a bit of a goon: we had no one to step up after Horny went down.

I think we could add Savard and another center (Glendening). I could also see us going for Hall.

We have three centers with 51+ FO%, and winning faceoffs has a very limited impact on the result of games. Do we really want to give up resources and then carry a player in the lineup just to bump up the chance of winning some important faceoff to 63%? I don't see it.

I don’t remember what deal Hall has.... but just as a player, despite what some people say, he’s a difference maker. He’d be an upgrade on Hoff.

If we can relax Barky’s defensive responsibilities, yes: we overworked him.

Expiring deal at 8M so it would take up half the deadline space: I agree about Hoff. What I liked about Hoff was that he could produce on third; I’d put Hall with Eetu and Tippett
