As a Caps fan, it was painful to watch coach Trotz handle our young talent. He definitely seemed to prefer older slower vets and did little to develop the rookies. I can’t imagine him as a GM managing a rebuild. Good luck.
They traded to become the Western Pittsburgh Penguins. Everyone is critical of the Pens age ... But praised the Preds when they went out and got older.
It used to be charming when we'd say "You Suck!" while losing 5-1, perennially sitting at the bottom of the standings. It wasn't so cute when we became an actual competitor, though. I guess things have finally come full circle for us! Sorry to all the folks we've annoyed over the years, I think it came as a bit of a shock that people were taking the chants personally.
@@OriginalName90 I wouldn't worry too much about it, we brought it on ourselves in karma. The preds this year are good enough to play an NHL team, just not to beat one
They obviously did a very poor job of team building. No Centers (ok O'Reilly is a 3C); the return for All of BT's trades are .. the wrong pieces. He's still thinking like a coach. He's here and now. But he's the GM. Sorry Trotz, you know better now. Do better.
Yeah I've got to disagree. Stammer amazing Center, O'Reilly was the first preds to get 3pts in a game this season. It's a brand new build though. A buncha great players who haven't played together. With the young guys coming, and the 3 1st round 2025 picks coming, they have the potential to be great.
Honestly this one's on the gods and the players. They're getting looks nd not finishing, it's be one thing if they weren't getting looks. They're also doing a shit job at suppressing shots, that might be on Brunette. Yes they have a speed deficiency but again, we can see they're getting possession time. We were seeing horrific PP numbers, but that seems to be improving.

Folks from Nashville are the spitting image of friendly southern hospitality... unless hockey is involved

Stamkos just old spice this year.

The house that last off-season Trotz build was made of cards lol and has simply come tumbling down.

They're are a pretty old team
28 y/o is the average age.

Too many bad contracts and will only get worse as the older players age. The cost of a rookie GM.
