Havent we traded Gemel Smith to DET?

Havent we traded Gemel Smith to DET?

He was claimed off waivers by Detroit in January, then like a month later TB claimed him back.

Continuing a grand TB tradition.

Hoping ABB, Goncalves or Finley have taken a step up.

Hoping ABB, Goncalves or Finley have taken a step up.

I thought Goncalves was disappointing in the prospect tournament. I think Groulx sat him out of the 3rd game after he had an unsportsmanlike penalty at the end of the 2nd game.

When you can play with Stamkos, Hedman, Kucherov, Point, Sergachev, Cirelli, Cernak, Vasy, Paul and Killorn, in the same lineup, it's pretty obvious our window is still open.
The difference between winning and losing will be 1) the injuries 2) how guys like Hagel, Names, Colton and Serge will play and, of course 3) the refs.
Considering also the deadline, our roster is good to win.

media day today

Somebody! Distract Kuch!

Serge ate better, changed his stick, and is actually McD in disguise. Let’s see if @Rschmitz notices.

 

[Stammertime91]

Oh man sergachev opening himself up to incoming trash posts

I'm here for it. When he misses the net or makes a mistake I got you all covered. I'll link new sticks on the market and meal plans for him. I can't wait.


Sincerely,
(Team McDonagh)

Serge ate better, changed his stick, and is actually McD in disguise. Let’s see if @Rschmitz notices.

I don't know about all of that, but as soon as he went to make a defensive play, it would hard not to notice the difference.

I read the second quote as:

"I make mistakes when I get tired cause McD has more endurance than me. But now that I changed my stick curve and I meal prep, I'm ready to not be bad like game 4 and game 6."

*gives thumbs up*

Let's go Sergy!

 

[Rschmitz]

Really hoping he takes that step this year without stumbling, he has the potential to generate a ton of offense for this team

 

[Felonious Python]

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Little reward for Koepke and Perbix who were 2 of the better players in the prospect tournament

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I like the idea of putting Foote with Hedman. Thought he had some really good moments in the Leafs series despite what the underlying stats indicate. Sink or swim year for him in the organization, plenty of RHD in our prospect pool knocking on the door.

 

[DFC]

Feels pretty top heavy at every position. Gets a little better when Cirelli gets back.

I feel like we need a pleasant surprise or two to be real contenders come spring. Like maybe Colton becomes a 30 goal player, or maybe Fortier shows up like Cirelli lite. Maybe Paul can play consistently at last year's level. Or maybe Foote figures out how to hold his own against speed. Something.
