Thread: Going for the cup - final 2022 version
Respectfully to Mr. Bear…he’s not a top pair defenseman on a cup winning team. When I watch him play, sometimes I wonder if he needs his eyes check. The angles he takes to the puck are way off. Maybe he just needs glasses? Damn, I might be onto something there.

You are light a top 4 defenseman. The Canes were light a top 4 defenseman last year too - so I guess we agree.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoCanes</b></div><div>Is it that different though? I mean, is it really light compared to last season? Our top 3 defenders are back. Don't forget, TDA was in the 3rd pairing for the first 1/3 of the year. The metrics on Slavin and a healthy Bear were strong. The second pairing is the same and very strong. I don't see Soucy and Chatfield as a downgrade vs Cole and Smith. Smith was a winger for crying out loud and barely got a contract last offseason. And he could easily be brought back into this roster if needed. He's cheap. Chatfield was solid as 3RD last season and has earned it.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>There are so many times a player has been moved for more than that</div></div>

What players????? Go to the trades tool and find me the last time a player was moved for more than that. Hagel got two first rounders exclusively because of his contract and Tampa's unique cap situation. The last player before that to get back two first round picks without some sort of pick swap was Brayden Schenn in 2017!!!!! Both of those guys also just got two first rounders and did not bring A level prospects back. Eichel got a first and Krebs. They were lucky to get Tuch because they needed to balance salary. O'Reilly got a first, tage thompson, and a bunch of junk. Mark Stone didn't even get a first!

Thread: This team can win the cup and is possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoCanes</b></div><div>I don't disagree with your commentary surrounding the uncertainly with the centers, but KK is clearly the #2 center given what he was just paid. Necas (if still on the roster) has a shot I guess. But they aren't paying KK to play 4C again (Aho is clearly 1C and Staal is clearly 3C/Checking C). Drury seems perfect to slide into 4C as a rookie that is responsible defensively and likely moves to 3C next year.</div></div>

i think i would target somone like copp who can also play c as a backup. and iff kk works out he can slot in on the 2-3rd line aswell. but that just my take! we'll see if kk can take the big step bext year. i would just feel better with a back up in case he does not.
