So he's gonna get his stats boosted by playing with Eichel and Hall, and then will get overpaid or traded. Looks like nobody wants to play in Buffalo.

Over 33 years old challenge
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Contracts at this age are very complicated and usually filled with veterans past their prime making too much. At wing I think you kind of get what you pay for, but the centers are really solid for their respective cap hits, and you have at least 3 good defensemen to rely on. The goalie situation is sneaky great too. I think they could mount a challenge, for sure! And then maybe be the worst team in the league in like 2 years</div></div>
Ya haha. In 2024 they be worse than the current redwings.

Is Bostons ability to defeat time the best predictor of their success
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>I don't think anyone assumes Bergeron will stay this good forever. But I will say he's become an even better goal scorer now than he was a few years ago, and Marchand wasn't even elite a handful of years ago - so he's for sure a late bloomer. Krejci is becoming one of the more underrated players in hockey as he's still playing a super solid two-way game, and has had nothing and nobody on his wings for a lot of his career.
Of course they'll decline. I think Studnicka is the obvious hopeful, to go from 3C this year, 2C the next and hopefully be able to play top line minutes at some point. Bergeron would have to decline a lot for Coyle to play above him in the heirarchy, but regardless, both of Bergeron's and Krejci's contrats are up in one and two years respectively. There's no financial tie if they're declining, and it's not impossible to imagine for example Barkov there in two years if no one steps up and Bergy falls off.
But while I agree with a lot of the descriptive; there's no prescription presented. What do you suggest they do about it?
Because this is how it goes for teams, right? They had a small retool 5 years back, and that extended their competative window, but it will shut at some point - it does for every team. But that's okay, that's the nature of the sport with the draft system etc.
I don't think anyone's in denial about Boston's aging situation, but 1) that decline hasn't really kicked in and 2) what do they do about it? trade the aging guys? makes little sense for one of the best and most competative teams in the league.</div></div>
I didn't offer a prescription as you put it (I love that use of language, I'm going to use it in the future) as I don't have one.
I just wondered if others were falling into the same mental trap as me which is focussing on improving in these other areas because it's just assumed/taken for granted that they have Bergeron, Krejci and Rask. But they're way older than the vast majority of NHL players are are particularly good. I guess I had a bit of a wake up call and wondered if others have seen it too

Trying to get younger and acquire picks
pretty sure i was that guy lol. This team is not better than the current one. It's going no where with Dell and Delia as the tandem.swaping saad for Roslovic is a huge downgrade as well, and the defence is attrocious. There's no way this is the right path for the hawks. They should eigther stay the course or try to aquire young already established talent (like sergachev which is what I originally proposed) to add the the young core of Dach, Cat, Kubalik, Boqvist, etc.

Trying to get younger and acquire picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>What I think this accomplishes is setting the team up for a real run again in a few years, instead of trying to patch up a ship that keeps on sinking. I feel like Chicago's already on the second run of patching up the mentioned, metaphorical, first round of patches. Of course Saad is better, of course the defense is worse, but you gather assets to make a serious run rather than slowly morphing into the Minnesota Wild.</div></div>
The only assets that were gathered were a few 2nd round picks. That MTL trade isn't happenening. Statisticly the percentages show the chances of that second round pick being a quality player is pretty low. If you're lucky 2 of those 4 2nd turn out. And why couldn't saad and murphy surive a retool and be ready to help make a run in 2-3 years. They are both just entering their prime at 27 years old and could be key pieces in a run down the line. The logic to trade them for 2nd round picks and a few scraps doesn't make any sense to me

And I agree on your last point in the description -- I think you should have a 20 man roster only; all the randoms should be in the lineup (maybe 10 random - 10 not, in that case)

Top 30 Centers in the league come attack me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>I agree with your comment almost entirely, but the problem is that he more than well makes up for those 40 points. Not only because Couturier is almost at the very top in league defensive ability, but because McDavid is at the bottom. If McDavid was even average defensively he'd be the best player in the league by far - but he's not close to that.</div></div>
I get that because I'm pretty torn about players like Draisaitl and Kane because obviously their offense is elite but their defense isn't good

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>It might also be blurred by Saad who's very good at that exact thing, too (unless I need to update on that as well, but I'd assume no since Colorado is way more aware of this than me personally).
I'm also just intuitively going a bit away from convention - I knew ROR was *VERY* good when he left Buffalo, but I also didn't try to slot him into some top 5-10 C list just because he won a cup. He's been steadily great and just outside of that range as far as I'm aware.
With the same sentiment, I try to push back on people saying Toews turned into garbage because Chicago did, when in reality they're probably the same people who tried to say he was the best in the league 7 years ago.</div></div>
Yeah I've pegged ROR around the 10-15 range and toews probably recently got pushed out of my top 25 but hes not totally washed
