We have played 3 more games than the teams we just passed. Chill out

Have you seen our record the last 10 games versus their record over the past 10? We passed them for good.

Right. It matters in the short-term where all they're accomplishing is gaining a later first round pick. That's all winning does. Anyway, whatever. Enjoy the win. I'll wallow in my own misery knowing that the Kings will build their Stanley Cup victory lead over us when they get Hughes or Kakko.

LOL to Hughes or Kakko taking Kings to cup.

They'd have a better chance than us. Can you win a Stanley Cup without a Top 3 draft pick? - Sportsnet.ca

 

[Paul4587]

Why you bashing em? It’s his first time taking on bigger minutes now that Montour is gone. Cmon dude cut some Fricken slack.

What are you yammering on about?

A 12.7% greater chance of making it to the Promised Land. That's not going to keep me from enjoying a good win over the Sharks.

Lol ive never put anyone on ignore but its tempting

The Kings were always going to have a significantly better shot at both.

The team is deciding who stays and who goes. Which kid gets to play with the team in 3-5 years is pretty irrelevant.

That list is trying WAAAAAY too hard. Chicago won because they gamed the Cap just as much if not more than because of Toews and Kane. Seguin and Horton were bit players for Boston, Pittsburgh got back to back generational players, and lol at Brad Stuart being why the Redwings won in 2008. Niedermeier wasn’t the reason New Jersey won, Shanahan wasn’t behind those Detroit wins, and Olcyzk?

This is the very definition of causation vs correlation.

 

[DuckRogers10]

silf has been the best signing. i can't wait for him next year. this entire year when he hasn't been stapled to kesler he's been at like a 0.7+ point pace.

Don't forget about Cogs. He's been playing with two offensive slugs the last few years. Silfvy will score 30 next season.

 

[Lyons71]

When silfverberg shoots like normal it makes a huge difference for this team. We are a .500 team without a coach. It’s interesting to see.

25 ist what I expect if he stays with Rakell. They look good together. Somehow I feel Steel may be a good option for them at C. Do not mind Shore either.

I like the idea of Steel. The swedes are good enough 2 way players that they can help ease Steel into his center responsibilities.

Rakell is one of our worst defensive players IMO.

Or maybe just go full sweeden

Rakell Lundestrom Silfverberg

I always thought
Ritchie Steel Kase would work out well

Granted I don't see both centers making the team next year

 

[DavidBL]

Rakell is one of our worst defensive players IMO.

I disagree. I think hes been under utilized. Hes starting to see more PK time under BM and he was always touted as a 2 way pkayer before he broke out as a scorerer. I think RC was just too engrossed with his checking line to expand on Rakell responsibilities.

Im okay with this idea as well. Let them fight it out for that center spot .
