Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
feels like they have to keep adding now because otherwise what was the point of adding horvat, but they’re so far away from even being a real threat in the playoffs that i can’t figure out what they’d add. just such a confounding move. the forward group still isn’t any good? like what’s happening here?

The best move now is to target depth guys to fill out the bottom six. Bjugstad, Domi, athanasiou, bemstrom, and maybe even a guy like Anthony duclair come to mind. The isles teams that made runs in the past did so due to their depth, and not necessarily the top-six. While this team has a better top-six than past isles teams, the bottom-six is a far-cry from what it was. If this team is gonna try and make a run, those are the moves to make.

I mean, it’s clear they want to compete and with an offensive boost, ready to compete now.

You’ve got an all world goaltender. Defensive core that is easily top 5 in the NHL (imo) and basically all signed for several years at very reasonable cap numbers to boot; adding Horvat to the mix should be very exciting for that group.

With Bo, I think that takes pressure off of Barzal and opens up the ice for him as well. So if they are able to get both Bo & Barzal going, this could be a dangerous team.

I could see them making another move for an impact winger before the deadline as well.

it's not really a top 5 d-core, maybe personnel-wise but not in the way they're all actually playing. the defense is a schematic disaster which is part of the reason sorokin's stats are insane. if you make another move for a winger you're yet again mortgaging the future even further for a team that's still multiple games out of a playoff spot. even if they get in, they just have to play boston in round 1 and then what was it all for?

There’s 30 games left, brotha. A lot can happen between now and then.

they pretty much have to play at a .666 pace to even make the playoffs at this point, miracles can happen but i'm not counting on them

The Isles are/should be going after guys that will be cheap but have good value, think Barbashev for example.

Try to patch up the bottom six with some low cost acquisitions and maybe fire the coach?
