I can't get on board with a Drai trade. I'm still thinking ride or die with McDrai (and Nurse, because bros and all that).
This summer I'd be 100% fixated on the goaltending situation. There was talk about us finally getting rid of our goalie coach that survived 4 GM's and 6 HC's that saw almost every goalie under him have a slow regression. What's the holdup? This team should be completely obsessed about getting goaltending fixed next year. We should be committing with the max possible funding and support to helping Skinner and Campbell having life altering summers if we're sticking with them both. We let a total crap show almost destroy our regular season, then we let it help destroy our playoffs too. Woodcroft needs to watch some playoffs and see how goalies that are trash for long periods can being miracle makers. The hockey gods were slapping him with hints all playoffs and he wouldn't give a change a try. Lots and lots of lessons and work to be done for our goaltending situation.
#2 to me is getting an ideal partner for Nurse. Codi Ceci trying to be a crappy version of Nurse, chasing guys all over the zone and just forgetting to ever come back isn't gonna cut it. He had a core injury, but he looked more like he had a brain injury. I don't think I'd risk him another season. Had a bad feeling about that pair all year and boy did it screw us bad. Ceci is the far weaker contributor and the guy you can actually dump to try to fix it. Do it.
Hyman and Kane are probably key to us having a 2 line attack. Both were injured. I think you need an upgrade on Yams if you want to have some more certainty that we don't end up a 1 line team again when it matters most. Not much money to do it, this is where you would love to have a solid analytics team, able to find someone capable of driving some possession at a good price. Just not feeling too hopeful about Yams ever getting his confidence back before he took a load of beatings and concussions.
We probably rushed Kane back. Man it would have been nice to have a little balls in our management group to just sit Kane out until the playoffs and pick up another winger or top 4 D with his cap hit. I guess this isn't something you fix, having management with some outside the box thinking, but next year if the chance to pull a Vegas/Tampa/whoever else that does it comes up, do it, we need all the help we can get and this is a make or break year with Drai.
Hope Woody also reflects on how stubborn he was with his wingers in the playoffs. We had some guys rolling in the bottom 6 with almost every winger in the top 6 completely useless. He never moved someone up or tried anything. What he finally tried for a 2 line attack in our elimination game was a complete disaster with Nuge-Drai-Yams, and who here couldn't have foreseen that? Stubbornness on goaltending too may have had him dodging some good luck he could have got. Woody has some old stubborn fart coaching mentality in there. Hope he able to evolve.
In the end, NHL level goaltending, and a key D pair not being 2 guys constantly wandering out of position. I think we make it to the 3rd round, even with just a 1 line team. Maybe I'm not accounting for some stupid that we saw. This team had just ridiculous runs of having no discipline. I couldn't tell you how to fix that. Is it a leadership issue? Is it just player IQ? Coaches not able to hammer home a strong message about discipline and babying players too much? Tough one. But, still think we had the horses to keep going if we didn't have total disasters by the goaltending and basically any time Ceci was on the ice.
