It's a good trade for us, that's all that matters. Yes indeed, i'm sad to see Nolan go, but we'll live with it if we beat the
in the stanley cup playoffs + one west team in the finals...
Until we are in the playoffs(and not swept:we need to avoid sweep because we are deep so long series = good for us), the trade is good. If we miss the cup both 2020 and 2021, then u can say the trade is bad... until then just wait and see what happens. The % are on our side... look at the bookmakers odds and the advanced analytics guys charts. Colorado is leading, i have just seen one... we are on 2nd place for winning the cup before the trade. So obviously after the trade it will go up by couple of %...
Don't cry, be excited for a deep run
We are stacked and we play defense finally. It's a copycat league -->we have just copycat the
, and we play now defense as well... Last years it was 24/7 offense. Leading 3-1 --> we need 3 more goals for 6-3.... now we lead 2-1 = just keep it and go to next game = much better in the long run...
All you need in a playoffs is a good goalie + around 8% shooting percentage. Coleman is good at scoring goals 5v5 and PK/defense = playoff hockey, oh and he hits really hard like Paquette. You will love this guy, i promise...
When you're top 5 in the league u have to go for it: all-in is neccesary.
This is good for us.
We don't need a 25th pick who will be ready in 4 years... we can draft other guys until then... or get same guy from UFA market, if needed... (maroon,shatty for example). You don't need 5 good draft picks each year. You need only like 1 or 2 from the average 7... you can hit later rounds as well... see where we drafted Point,Kucherov etc...
Yes it's easier to draft Hedman 2nd overalll... but it's not the end of the world , when u miss the 1st round... BTW we still have our first round pick for 2020, so consider like trading JT Miller with a big cap hit for another JT Miller for a low caphit and already signed for next year = win for us too....
I follow the hockey guy on Youtube, i watch a lot of videos from him every day, he is the most knowledgeble hockey video maker... he watches every single match every day and knows 99.9% of players in the whole NHL. He said Tampa won the trade, look at here on Youtube it's only like 4 minutes long:
Blake Coleman Traded to Lightning for Nolan Foote and Canucks 2020 1st Round Pick
Although i think
won the trade, it's not far off from a fair deal. And if Nolan Foote doesn't become the next Mark Stone... it will be good for us even on long run, as we might extend Coleman, who knows...
Let's go
! Bring the cup home!
