Thread: Hamster wheel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LordStanlersCup</b></div><div>its not exactly like we can tank, we don't have our 1st round pick next year and even if we did I think the lowest we could get is maybe 10th. Just have to wait until Stammer and Heddy retire and Kuch gets worse for a full rebuild. In the meantime dont mortgage picks/prospects but try to be competitive by signing players to lower AAV long term contracts that will look bad 6 years from now when were in the middle of the rebuild.</div></div>

So basically exactly what the Penguins and red wings did

Yeah I'm not about it let em go develop the prospects let em play in the show cycle in new talent &amp; evolve for the love of the thunder ⚡ don't trap yourselves because of loyalty it will cost you

Thread: Team takes a haircut to stay together
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>I mean Stamkos is the best player in Tampa Bay Lighting history so it's perfectly fine to give him a lowball contract.

I mean Stamkos took less than market value on his last contract when he was in his prime.

I mean let's show no respect to Stamkos at all.

I mean it's all about signing Jake DeBrusk. 🙄</div></div>

I mean yeah he got 2 cups for it which is the big shiny trophy 🏆 he was rewarded for his sacrifice he could get a shot at another if a discount is taken &amp; if he wants to stay for the rest of his career here sadly the $100 millionaire can become $116.8 millionaire at the end of the day it should be between do you want to stay as a $116.8 millionaire &amp; see if there is 1 more cup in the next 5-6 years here or go do some cardio in Anaheim or something to become a $130 millionaire then go on LTIR eventually to chill

It's all about priorities at the end of the day

Thread: To sell or not to sell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LordStanlersCup</b></div><div>I think the contention window for this team is longer than most people think. There are a lot of great prospects in the system who will get time soon and hopefully recreate our 2015 run. As for this season in particular its kind of a weird dilemma because its hard to see this team winning a cup but if we were to go for it I would want us playing guys like groshev goncalves and thompson who can make an impact now. This team has what it needs to be a contender they just need to look from within. The players they would be looking at near TDL would not be better than the prospects in the system now. Also this is a hot take but I think the team is better off without jeannot and sergachev so I expect is to regress when they come back</div></div>

I agree with this
