Hello everyone and welcome back to another End to End Hockey video, in this video we have our tenth offseason preview video to discuss as we look at the 18th and 19th teams who were eliminated from the playoffs this year in Tampa Bay and Ottawa, we talk about how the top 6 vanishing and Vasilevsky’s poor play lead to Tampa being eliminated in round 1 in 5 games to the Panthers, we look ahead to their UFA’s and RFA’s for next year as well as their draft capital as they have 7 picks and I give 5 ways I believe this team could look to improve in the offseason for next year including solving the Howard situation, moving Cirelli and adding a sold top 4 defender, and then we talk about how being in too big of a hole and not great depth scoring forced Ottawa who ended their playoff drought to be eliminated in 6 games to the Leafs, we look at that teams UFA’s and RFA’s and draft capital as they have 6 picks and I give 5 ways I believe this team could look to improve in the offseason for next year by adding a top 6 goal scorer, extending Pinto and adding a top 4 defensive defensemen and I would love to hear your thoughts on all that was discussed in today’s video down in the comments section below.
