Thread: Bowness
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>People are quick to jump on Bowness without even giving the guy a chance. It’s not like Dallas was a team packed with skill and talent lol. Plus his coaching record is heavily affected by his time with the new expansion senators. They had an echl level roster in the NHL.

I’m willing to give Bowness a chance, he’ll bring structure and he’s not afraid to sit a guy if they’re not playing well. We’re not going to see any more pouty pants players getting their way.</div></div>

I’m just warning you, chances are that Kyle Connor, Dubois, and Scheifele will want to kill themselves.

This solidified the fact that Dubois isn’t re-signing, he hated Torts and this is basically the exact same thing. Trade him for a haul while you can.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EsoYeezus69</b></div><div>Hot takes for next year:

1. Blake Comeau signs a PTO with the Jets, first practice, Scheifele nails him like he did to Evans and Comeau's career ends there. After that <strong>Cheveldayoff hires Bowness as the new head coach</strong>, bringing him to end his coaching career where he started it. Soon after, he hires Comeau as his assistant coach/right hand man. They immediately start bullying Scheifele by not playing him much minutes (EV and PP), he requests for a trade not long after and is traded to some random team like Columbus joining his buddy Laine. After that they finish dead last and get to pick Bedard which he replaces Scheifele, Bones retires and Comeau takes over as head coach, soon after Bedard quits the team and signs with some random team like the Jackets and joins his former Jets buddies.

2. Cole Caufield wins a fight.

3. Johnston finishes 5th in Stars scoring and is in the top 3 for the Calder.

4. William Nylander has more PIM than Milan Lucic.

5. Kaprizov wins the Rocket Richard and is a nominee for the Hart.

6. Gurianov busts out and scores 30 goals, and finishes 6th in Stars scoring.

7. Without Bowness, Miro explodes in production and gets nominated for the Norris, but loses it by 1 vote to Makar.

8. Some grit grinder like Boucher is picked in the top 15 by a team that's considered good at drafting.

9. The Stars make the playoffs by the slimmest of margins with a them having 1 more GF them the team next to them, that goal was scored by none other than Jake Oettinger.

10. Arizona finally relocates to Houston.

11. The Flyers sign Chara to replace Yandle.

12. Yzerman doesn't laugh in your GM's face :laugh :laugh :laugh.

13. Guerin trades Fiala to the Kraken for some odd reason, and fleeces them by getting their pick this year plus other small assets.

14. The Wild fan with 1 million accounts will become like another famous CF user and start using this: :laugh. Guerin laughs in your face :laugh, will be the new Wild slogan.

15. Mike Smith pulls the lacrosse move on Zegras.</div></div>

👀 call me houdini, I finally didn’t jinx something.

Thread: Otter
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>The premise of the agm is if:
Dallas signs Klinger or some equivalent (might as well use klinger since he's already there).

I am aware that they are fine if they dont. Next time consider reading the description.

Reports are coming in that contract negotiations are not going well with otter. They may drag out.

Again, read the desc. Ffs.


This entire exchange is rendered pointless by you being literate and reading the helpfully provided description. Please use it in the future.</div></div>

I read the description, I’m using common sense. If Jim Nill favours a basically 30 year old, one way dman, who wants a big contract til he’s 38 over a franchise goalie who was the only reason the Stars didn’t get swept. He should 100% be sent to work at any 7/11 cuz he isn’t fit for the job as a GM.

I’m pretty sure you used the Seravalli article of “OS candidates”, and if you did Otter is right above Sandin. So we’re in the same boat as you guys, chances are that they get locked up before FA.

OS don’t happen often and successful ones even less, only two I can think of are Penner and KK.

Thread: Otter
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>So you just not pay attention to the whole part about how Toronto is in a much better cap spot than you are if you keep or replace Klingberg? Besides we'd have him locked up by then and even if we were stupid and didn't could survive an OS anyway</div></div>

First of all Dallas has reportedly said that they aren’t willing to give Klingberg what he wants, so he’ll probably go to Seattle. There’s tons of cheap replacements out there, it’s not like Klingberg is vital to this team. They aren’t as much in cap hell as you think they’re.

Also you said that the Leafs will lock up Sandin because they aren’t stupid, then why aren’t the Stars locking up Otter who’s a way more important player? Stars could match an Otter OS, but chances are it doesn’t get there and the Stars resign him.
