Getting older/slower is not how you move forward.
NYIFC Trade Deadline Notables:
Trade section's up for Monday's deadline. Only Lou Lamoriello knows what he has in mind. He either thinks circumstances, not being older, slower, less skilled combined with the collapses at the end of 2019-20/2020-21 plus the 0-12-1 at Caps, Pens, Bruins contributed to this being a bad team overmatched on opening night or he does not.
Folks know what I thought/projected last summer. Did not want to be right, but I was.
As always the trade deadline tabs go up and the right side of the header comes down until we see who stays. Me? I would clean house. Have to get rid of those bad contracts. Palmieri, Pageau, Cizikas, Bailey, Martin, Varlamov. All UFA have to go. Don't think Lamoriello will do the massive housecleaning needed, which means expect New York being a playoff outsider for a lot of years.
The Road To Nowhere Continues: Trade Deadline
Things are what they are regarding this team/season, it was easy to see coming long before the puck dropped. Even in Snow's final season NY was only four points out of the playoffs at the trade deadline. We don't get NHL seasons where the eight seeds are decided 30 plus games in advance, where games are all meaningless besides positioning.
Now decisions have to be made, and they should be entirely based upon what we saw starting opening night that proved this franchise was nowhere close to be a cup finalist in an 82 game season vs all the teams.
