Road to Lord Stanley's Cup - Official 2018 NHL Playoffs thread

Stralman is the big loss of that Ranger team, paying him instead of Girardi and the Rangers are still a good team instead of re-building

Yep. Stralman was the best D man that playoff run. They broke the bank (in hockey money) by giving a declining Girardi that deal.

Hate the narrative that Dolan is a “good hockey owner”. Sather was a awful GM for the Rangers. Lundqvist, Jagr, and the salary cap made look ok but his pre-lockout days were a disaster because he wanted to prove he would win by simply spending money when it was clear Rangers roster was terrible and needed a reset

As great of a story the Knights are, them winning the cup would not be a good look for the NHL. It would show how incompetent a lot of these teams really are (e.g. Florida)

I don't think it would be a bad look. It may for those that have no idea about the expansion draft, but those that do realize a lot of the players they have were already good quality players. You have three or four lines that are second line quality. That is massive during the playoffs. They ended up with a lot of good players that were just too expensive for their previous teams.
