Description
I had actually trusted Bowman wouldn’t screw this team up with his past 2-3 trades. However, I’m not a fan of them Jones trade, especially his extension, and I feel as if he wasted a ton of assets today. I remember when MTL was making their run everyone was saying that a bunch of Stupid GM’s would make moves to copy MTL… well I think last night says enough about where Bowman fits into those camps.

Was this revisionist history too much to ask for? I mean really…

              Buchnevich would have been nice for sure. I'm not a fan of drafting a goalie in the 1st.

              At 20th overall? Plus the bounty of picks we would have had moving into day 2? This would have been MUCH better than throwing a pick away in Nolan Allan

              I wouldn't draft any goalie in the 1st. Lots of reasons why too. I'd have to create a whole post as to why. The short is, A.) Stastically They flop more often B.) You can get just as good a starter in the 2nd or 3rd. C.) The contract demands are too high once they do succeed. As proof. We had 7+ rookie goalies last year play well. That's not a little. Guys like Lankinen were never even drafted. Sorokin 3rd, Igor 4th, kaapo 4th, Ned 2nd. I'd collect 4th and 5th rounders and draft 3 goalies in a year. All Russian. All their rights stay. Collect rights like it were those odd state quarters back in the day. Get 50 of them

              That’s a fine argument but when guys are being compared to Price and Vasy I have to consider it.

              Ok let's stay with those two examples. Price...never won a cup. $10.5M. Vasi. They were $18M over the cap. Besides Vasi...the goalie with the highest % cap hit vs the team (assuming cap era) to win a cup is Crow in 2015.

              Good goalies are good, I’m fine with drafting them.

              The 18M over isn’t a good argument. Leafs were like 15M over the year before and they played 7 games. BOS added 8M on Hall. The concept that when you now make a TDL add or have an injury return after playoffs doesn’t discount the elite status of a G. Stick to barking up the Price @ 10.5M with little success tree.

              Except TBL had Kuch out the while regular season. They were WELL over the cap Day 1.

              The team won the cup the year before without Stamkos.. they are simply the best team in the league. That’s like discounting CHI cup when they were 6M over cap yet they won how many in a 6 year span? TB had TJ as the replacement for Kuch, not exactly a solid filler. If they had of added Bread for the season and then bring Kuch back I could support your theory. But they had negative value players as the stop gap while Kuch was out. Vasi not getting the Vez was the NO1 BS.. don’t be a crybaby about their 2 “illegitimate” cups.. they are as real as everyone else’s

              You're right. Kane was hurt one season too. Broken collar bone. Came back day 1 of the playoffs. I'm not saying I hate the lightning or Vasi. Just I wouldn't give that contract to a goalie. Way too many ELC goalies win the cup.

              You're right. Kane was hurt one season too. Broken collar bone. Came back day 1 of the playoffs. I'm not saying I hate the lightning or Vasi. Just I wouldn't give that contract to a goalie. Way too many ELC goalies win the cup.


              Ya, I don’t disagree on some level. I was just saying that Price(although an elite G), I’d rather draft a later G more often than not. But you also have to realize that the last 4 G standing in the playoffs were all 1st round picks. Not all teams 18M over cap. So ya, I have a hard time paying a G 10M+ and if I do they better be the McJesus of goaltending. I’m taking Shesty, Lundqvist over Price all day when it comes to draft position. If I remember correctly, I think Dan Blackburn was a 1st round G for us and that didn’t go well. <—I’d have to look it up to confirm but I think this was the case

              The list of 1st round goalie busts is very long.

              I bet!! Sometimes guys like Fleury are guaranteed though and you can’t pass on it.
