Description
This team is falling into no man's land. Not a bottom feeder but not a cup contender. We are maxed to the cap and have a roster full of aging veterans. It's time to play the young guys and go after a few high end guys that we can't fill with our prospect pool. I would be fine if the team was struggling while young guys are getting reps but watching vets who clearly don't care is infuriating. Yzerman has 2 years imo to get this team on track or it's time to consider some changes at the top.

    Deep breath buddy. They're in the middle of a rebuild.

    There's almost $30M in cap space next year LOL.

    Im fine with a rebuild but yzerman keeps filling the lineup with overpaid vets. What rebuilding team doesn't have a single rookie in the lineup? Rebuilding teams need cap flexibility. Most of that cap room will go seider, Raymond and veleno. Leaves very little room to go get another high end piece.

    this was such a waste of a season lol

    such a bizarre year, were supposed to be nearing the end of the never-ending rebuild, yet Yzerman gives all roster spots to mediocre vets who will be retired once this team has a legit shot at anything. Next season has to be what this season should have been, a youth movement. I don't think ASP is coming over yet, he's still a raw prospect and needs time to develop, but I'm ready to play kids like Kasper, Mazur, Edvinsson, Johansson over useless vets like Petry, Sprong, Fischer, Chiarot, Copp etc...

    Raymond and Seider take up $16M at most. Veleno gets about $1M. You have plenty to go get a Matt Roy or a Marchessault or someone similar. Edvinsson will be up; Berggren and Soder will probably be up; Mazur can be up; Kasper/Danielson might get a look.

    Do you watch the team or just like to whine about nonsense and spew bogus talking points? There is not a single overpaid vet on this team outside of Chiarot, who has been very, very good this year.
