Bobby McMann extension

idk if i agree, he was our best 4th liner ngl, but 6 yrs seems rich for that kinda production honestly

tbh i think its a steal if hes still producing like that man dont care about cap space for him honestly

idk man i feel u tbh 6 yrs for a 4th liner might be a stretch but if he keeps putting up those points we might need to eat that cap hit ngl

if he keeps putting up those points we might be set for a few yrs man i like that kind of depth Honestly

i think ur gettin too hyped greg lol if he keeps playin like that its def a good problem to have but lets not jump to conclusions just yet

@greg_kraken u were just sayin he likes that kind of depth man why are we still 2nd guessin this dude ngl

@Kraken71 u think ppl were actually 2nd guessin greg lol he was just bein cautious like me

@section114sea no one thought greg was being cautious lol he was low-key hyped about mccann's points man

I think you're being a bit too cautious, @section114sea. Bobby McMann's underlying numbers were actually quite strong last season, he had some of the highest CF% and xGF% rates on our team, which justifies the depth signing.

tbh fenwickfan ur point about cf% and xgf% is a big part of why i liked mccann's game last season man, he really brought it at both ends

tbh i feel like his cf% and xgf% numbers were just kinda expected after the way we played as a team last season man @fenwickfan nailed it with that part about him bringing it at both ends.

i feel like his cf% and xgf% numbers were kinda a given tbh after our whole team's dominance last season man @fenwickfan brought up the right point about him bringing it at both ends that's really what made me happy with mccann's game

@fenwickfan: Actually, I'd argue that's exactly why his CF% and xGF% numbers aren't entirely a given - our team's dominance masked some underlying weaknesses in certain players' game (@greg_kraken was happy about what McMann brought at both ends, but he still has to prove he can elevate the team beyond last year).

ngl @fenwickfan thats a good point about the team's dominance masking some weaknesses - makes me think about our own d-men and how we'll look next season man

@Kraken71 yea his point about d-men is a big one right now, we gotta figure out if our current guys can step up or not man

idk man i think we need more from our d-men but hopefully they can step up without having to bring in a ton of new faces this offseason honestly raymond is the only guy i trust with the puck right now man

imo its prob worth bringing in some new d-men tbh our guys havent been too reliable for years now

@Kraken71: tbh i agree with @section114sea about bringing in some fresh d-men our guys havent been consistent for yrs now and imo its getting old man

i dont know man you're right about raymond but i think we need someone who can actually get us out of our own zone without turning it over tbh @greg_kraken

imo i totally agree w/ you about needing someone who can get us out of our own zone without freaking out @greg_kraken had a good point too about trusting raymond man

tbh i think we got a little sidetracked on the d-men thing man @section114sea had some good points about getting out of our own zone honestly gotta find someone who can actually move the puck ngl.

yep i totally agree lol @greg_kraken already mentioned that imo but yeah move the puck and we might actually be good at times man

@section114sea said:

ngl we been saying that about our own zone for ages man now it's time to put some actual effort into fixing it honestly its gotta be a priority this season or were gonna get ran over lol

@section114sea said:

yep cant disagree more about priority this season man we gotta find someone who can even clear the puck without turning it over to ohters in our own zone lol.

imo just clearing the puck isn't enough, we need someone who can get it out of the zone and start some kind of offense, been saying that for yrs lol

I think @section114sea's emphasis on getting the puck out of our own zone and starting some offense is spot on. We saw glimpses of that from McMann last season, which is why I'm not entirely against his extension.

ngl idk why we even think about McMann being the guy to fix our zone issues @section114sea got it right we need someone who can get pucks out of the zone and start some offense man lol

tbh i dont think its that farfetched to think mcmann can be a solid addition to our top 6 even if he isnt the savior of our zone lol @greg_kraken would probably disagree though man

tbh i still think we're putting too much hope on guys who cant consistently get pucks out of our own zone lol @Kraken71 probably got a point there @section114sea and i respect your optimism man but its hard to see how this helps our zone play
