Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

Best case scenario I think is, Bussi gets the net the rest of the series, series goes 7 and Marner is quiet in a game 7 loss.
 
Canes are running into the same problem they always do. Their best forwards are Aho/Svechnikov/Jarvis and Vegas are Eichel/Marner/Stone

They turned into a up & out/dump & chase team through out the entire OT's. Generated next to zero chances. Carolina's super power is their 5v5 systems play. If they abandon their system, they run face first into that problem you noted above. They just lack game breaking skill.
 
Marner would like that penalty shot back right about now

Now his ill fated deke move makes sense. He thought Freddie was still in net!!!

What a brainfart in an otherwise great night

“I really didn’t notice they switched their goalie, and I didn’t notice he’s an offhander, as well,” Marner said. “So, I had a lot of different thoughts kind of going through my mind when I was going on that penalty shot. Just trying to shoot it quickly or trying to find a play.”

He’ll tell us more if they win the Cup. Stay tuned.
 
Woll is worth more than stolarz, but absolutely not something to stop a trade for a good skater, given our goalie depth.

Have to be super careful here as we need this team to perform to make sure we sign Matthews the following offseason. We are in a shit of trouble if woll is traded, Stolarz is injured as always, and the marlies depth doesn’t pan out straight away. We watched for a decade what happens when we get league worst goaltending.

Sure, but we have a choice to make. Either trade one of Woll or Stolarz for value, risk losing Hildeby on waivers (and yes, he does have to clear waivers, he's entering his 5th pro season, 22/23 counts), or run 3 goalies.

I'm entirely down with trading Stolarz, but if we can get something similar for Woll to what we've discussed over the last day or so for him (Barrett Hayton, Jordan Spence, etc), you do it. If Stolarz can get you that type of player as well, then you have a decision to make and I'm fairly agnostic on it (Woll slightly more durable and younger, Stolarz with the higher level of play when healthy and cost controlled for longer).
