The 2019 off-season thread: There's money to spend and Joey Crabb's retired

[Mogo]

Bjugstad alluded to this as well. Basically said he was gassed during Pitt practices.

Oh yeah. Read that too

 

[Chaos2k7]

Q will have them ready to play, no doubt there.

 

[pantherbot]

One thing that I just cant forget Trocheck saying when we hired Q. Something in the lines of "He will whip us into shape".

It's one thing I don't feel we've ever talked about here.
All those late losses / non energy games we have. Maybe our team just have one of the worst condition of all teams in the league. Not hard enough practices and high enough standards for players to keep to stay in the lineup. Of course there's players who go above and beyond in this matter (Barkov) but if you got passengers on the team that will hurt you a lot. I felt like Trocheck words you could sense that is an issue among our team. We've had too many coaches that just pat you on the back

GR hinted at this before too in his articles. There was one after a particularly bad loss and he basically said something about how the next day Boughner was pissed and practice was uncharacteristically intense or something like that.

 

[Ghoste]

Yeah, Bob may have been too much of a nice guy coach. Although I think you gotta find the right balance because you can't just be a full on hard a** all the time either.

I dont really think coaching style matters. It all comes down to gameplan execution. You look at Torts and Bruce Boudreau, 2 very successful coaches with 2 completely opposite styles. Hell Bob Murray is a 65 year old man with no coaching experience and he was still better than Carlyle and his dinosaur game style.

This is where I hope the staff gets some of that Miami Heat mentality in them. The Heat arent a team for everyone, player wise. They run intense training camps, intense practices, and overall, the players are some of the fittest in the league. Some players arent down for that, having intense practices most of the time, but doing so allows their minds and bodies to be ready for those intense, late game situations.

So I’m listening to a Luongo interview from a couple of months ago, he went over his daily routines. On practice days, he usually gets the the rink 2 1/2 hours before practice, so he can get on the trainers table, loosen up, and go through his routines to get his body ready to go. During game days, he usually goes through an hour session in the morning, and an hour when he gets to the rink before the game, which doesn’t include the time for his other routines. Dude must really love the game if he puts his body through that routine daily.

He had millions of reasons to exercise and stretch.

Not at this point though. If he does come back next year it is truly love for the game.

1st for Laine/Trouba

And a chance to actually win. He sees it coming starting with Q.

Depends on the dman they bring in.

 

[Mogo]

1st for Laine/Trouba

Do not want that cancer Laine. He's nothing without the PP. I don't remember seeing a guy float this much

 

[HockeyRulez]

I would love to acquire Trouba with the 1st rd pick and get him signed to a good deal

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Not sure how they can afford another 7.5 million dollar D. If panarin and bob are coming.

 

[Bure1096]

Hoffman for Slavin. PLEASE.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Better stick to Keith or Alec Martinez then

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Brandon Tanev would be good for our bottom 6.

Can't. Luongo coming back only leaves like 4/4.5 million for a dman, even after Hoff, Pysyk, and Reimer are moved. Maybe even less now because of how the Jackets looked in the 1st round.

Idk what the return for Hoffman and the 1st round pick would be defense wise, that's probably the best Florida can do.

Unless you add in one of the 4 prospects(Tippett, Denisenko, Noel, or Hepo)

We have enough wingers, we need a 2nd line center.
