I wouldn’t say terrible. This season yes.

The previous 3 seasons they did well against very good teams in the first round.

They certainly struggled with consistency this season and backup goaltending cost them.

Are they a team that could contend for a stanley cup? Most definitely. They are a very young team with tons of talent. Thinking that there potential is based on past performance would be foolish.

I like the idea of Demelo. Brodie added leafs to his mntc. That may have more to not wanting to be moved this year though. I would pass on Manson unless it is a good deal. Plenty of other Dmen they may fit the bill as well.

The only reason I could see them signing petro is for a discount. He has very little incentive to do that and seems to seperate his business from his play.

Because Tavares was 27 at the time entering his prime, Petro is 30 lol

If Kapanen trade wasnt something to heal his ego cause all the flak he got from losing 2020 1st with Marleau, then i think Dubarelli is signaling hes on the way to make something larger...exactly what Pietrangelo is...especially with all the names that are coming out being on the block too ( which is complete 3rd Line depth )

Dont you think Pridham Copperfield can make something out of it...we were 13M in deficit whole 2019/2020

for OP : Robertson is far from ready, ask Petan and Brooks who were also 2 Points per Game ( tho in WHL ) or Bracco who was 1,5 PpG in OHL

Oh they can make the room. Quite easily if they want. I’m certainly not saying I wouldn’t want petro but it has to be a well thought out plan. I just don’t know if overhauling the roster again is what’s best.

I already said it would be more than a fourth

Actually RHD needs to be overhauled and even without Pietrangelo few more $ will need to be shed to do that........at least if quality will be acquired
