Oh I agree, I’m sure right now he’s ticked. I know the first goal he allowed was very iffy, but the guy kept the Devils in the game for much of the night.
Bahl is 23 years old and has more NHL experience than Luke at this point.
re: Luke, I agree with @Nicomo, he’s been up and down for the balance of the season, but for a 20-year-old rookie playing in his first full NHL season, he’s shown a lot of promise. I wouldn’t look at this season and ever think Luke was “bad”, as much as “raw”.
He’s under contract for next year. He’ll be back, especially since Fitz really seems to like him.
A long offseason (which this will most definitely be) can heal a lot of wounds. And like others have pointed out, with a coaching staff that actually knows what the hell it’s doing, and some roster tweaks, this can be a team that players very much want to be a part of.
Depending on what the return is, I’m absolutely open to moving Dawson. I’m not running him out of town nor giving him away, but I no longer have him as an untouchable either.
And I agree in that I do think that this can be fixed this offseason. But obviously a very disappointing season, especially since it absolutely felt like there was a time that it could have been salvaged.
If he thinks he’s getting the 5-to-6 year deal that he’s apparently looking for, he’s out of his mind, unless it’s to a team like Columbus, who might do something that dumb.
I can see Fitz getting involved if Toffoli is willing to take three years. And if that happens, I won’t be happy about it.
Emotionally, I’m 100% with you, even though I knew a game was coming like this at some point, this one killed any remaining passion that I might have had for this year’s team.
Said it already, but I feel so much for Allen. This guy stepped it up as much as he possibly could have. And his team hung him out to dry time and time again, while he bailed THEM out. If I’m him I’m plenty pissed.
Dude, this is a fair question.
I don’t think Jack, Luke, Timo, Jesper, Nico, and Nemec are going anywhere, and I don’t think that they should at this point in the window.
Everyone else, none of them are remotely untouchable. Here’s looking at you Dawson.
If he’s gotta be the one to go in a package for a goalie, so be it. Feels like him ever putting it all together at this point is 50-50 at absolute best.
Jack being saddled with him and Holtz is kinda criminal. And that’s not to knock Holtz, really, but he’s not quite worthy of playing with Jack just yet.
