I don't think that I can stomach another season if McLeod is on this team next year.
|
Honestly, I see him as one of the few guys on this team that can be expected to improve. Most of this team is known quantities and some with their games eroding, much of them underwhelming. Broberg and McLeod can take big steps still. Still unsure what to think about Holloway. McLeod has some skill and his speed can let him go anywhere. Just needs to add a little size and maturity.
Should stay reasonably priced too after the struggle he's had in the playoffs.
Need a goalie. Full revamp of our 2nd D pair. And at least 2 good top 6 wingers that can push 5v5.
Nurse and Kane cap hits ideally get off the books. And Campbell.
Tall order for the next GM if we want to make a real contender that can win divisions and can go on playoff runs with home ice advantage.
|
After watching these playoff is Kane really a player you want to subtract from the roster? I'd argue a healthy Kane would have been a massive swing in htis series. It's unbelievable that they/he let it get to the point where he was carrying a nagging injury in the playoffs but maybe (maybe?) they won't be that stupid again.
|
He's not getting younger. 2nd year in a row he was a non-factor when we needed him. Pretty unhappy about how he and the team handled his injury too. Still no idea why he has to announce to the world he's had a hernia injury since the start of the season, maybe setting himself up for an excuse to play poorly and possibly bow out.
He will be 34 (25/26) before his next contract year where he may actually fully bring it for a season. Too long a wait for me, and he might be too old and busted by then to actually do it one more time like Kassian.
|
You know who would have been awesome this year? The 2022 playoff version of Evander Kane. Man what a force he was that year. Almost scoring at will and hitting anything that moved. And hard. It was awesome to see.
If he really was injured all year and they didn’t just let him go get fixed up, it has to be considered a catastrophic blunder.
Get one of your only physically punishing guys healthy and ready to rock in the playoffs PLUS the LTIR space to add more firepower at the deadline, or just let him trudge through the regular season and playoffs as a shell of his former self?

2022 Kane was a contract year Kane. Even before his injury the next year he was far less engaged.
This year was almost all butt dragging with an excuse at the end. An excuse that still makes no sense because we had all the time in the world to fix it. Some guys are just built that way, the full effort only comes when an extra benefit is within reach. Lots of people in life in general are like that. Work harder for the promotion, get it, back to slackin. He burned 2 other teams that gave him multi-year deals already. Kassian tricked our GMs twice by becoming a totally different player in contract years.
Think I'm done with this guy personally. Adam also points out an important point. He is a zero effort player in our zone. Florida is showing us right now how you can't bring along many, if any, players that only want to put effort in one zone if you want a good chance at the cup. We need way better complete players on the wings with McDavid and Drai.
