Wasn’t trading all those picks for Tanner Jeannot. It was dumping Pat Maroon. I get that he’s slow, but this is what the team was missing in the postseason. Our identity and swagger went out the door with Pat
It’s almost as if there might be a reason he was a core factor in going to 4 straight overlapping two teams, I’m not a jbb hater but he messed up with this one

I’ve been saying it all year to my buddy. Team missed maroon more than anyone else.

The day the music died was when he traded Ryan McDonagh. He was the identity of the defense – paying Cernak as if could be the new McDonagh just double-downed on the mistake.

He has a certain talent to corral a game Whether needing to fight or start slam dunking the puck into the net like it was basketball ! I was really bummed when he left.

Yeah I’d have to agree. I was in favor of dumping most of the vets that we did (Perry, Bellmare, Bogosian), because we really did need to get younger and faster. I think it was just too much change at once for the locker room to go through, it was a shock to the system and they would’ve benefited from Maroon’s steady energy even if he didn’t play every game.
I don’t know if he’s the biggest absence this team’s felt, but it’s definitely the most unforced misread from jbb imo. McDonagh, Palat, Killorn, even Rutta were all bigger losses on the ice, but they were unfortunately necessary cuts to make, while Maroon really wasn’t.

Both moves are equally bad IMHO. Jeannot is mid and not worth what we gave for him AND Maroon would be doing what we got Jeannot to do. They’re tangentially related.

I’d be more inclined to believe it if Boston wasn’t getting bulldozed by the cats same as we were. He also didn’t stop us from blowing it against the Leafs last season. Not saying he wasn’t bringing intangibles but he was a negative asset on the ice by the time we traded him. Its far more logical to point at the fact our cup finals runs have come when we could roll 3 effective lines as opposed to the 2 we’ve been able to muster the past 2 seasons.

A slow 4th liner wasn’t our missing piece lmao

Wouldn’t say it was his biggest mistake but definitely created a hole.. but that’s part of the game

I whole-heartedly believe you are wrong. Maroon was nothing more than a presence guy. He can’t fight, like, at all. We have guys on the team that can actually fight. Our defense is terrible. Hedman is great in the offensive zone, he’s not even good in the defensive zone. We need more stay at home d-men.

Yall he’s made no mistake we won 2 cups and made it back for a third. We just simply don’t have the team/money right now. Like yanni gourde blake Coleman and goody was a line. That’s kind of fucking insane. When we build up a defense that can kill a game we will be back. Until then it’s so impressive we are making the playoffs
