Mickstix:
I think GMBM will make another loooooooooong term deal to keep Carlson.. And you know what? I don't give a shit! Who cares, we have a cup!!
I hope we don't have to go to arbitration with Wilson. Hopefully they're on the same page.. If they need cap room, I'd shop Burt.. That's like 3 mil off the books..

Signing the most popular UFA fourth-forward to a big contract is par for the course for Dickless and BetaMale.

I disagree with your assessment. An offensive dman isn't close to being a 4th forward. Most if those type of dmen probably wouldnt do well playing forward.

The Canes. Stars, Lightning. Flames. and Ducks have “a” Cup.
Most of those teams ceased being contenders shortly after winning it.

Seriously DC, we just won the cup and you're still on the Beta male kick? I'm not being an asshole, but are you ever happy? Like it or not GMBM made the moves to alter and bolster what McPhee left behind and it resulted in a cup. As much as it pains you the man deserves some credit. McPhee, whom you seem to love, only wanted puck moving d-men. BM did his best to at least add one physical guy in Orpik because he was the best available at the time. He moved out guys who didn't show up in the playoffs for us like Brouwer and got Oshie who just performed very well in the cup run. Yes, he made mistakes too like Shattencrap, but he's TRYING and he succeeded.
What do you want man?

I want them to not continue operating under the same mindset of “score a lot and have a chance in the playoffs where anything can happen” that took ten years and a near act of god to result in a championship.
Nor do I want anyone to say “we did it, it’s the end of the road”
Everyone saw what worked in the playoffs, and what a seemingly 180 the mentality and mindset of the players and/orginization as whole made to do what worked. There is enough data to harvest, clutavate, design, and develop a new system and culture based first and foremost winning in the playoffs.
And that being the only goal.
