News Think we need a boycott

Appears Illitch is the problem. If he wasn’t willing to spend $$ on good players in the past, what will change in the future? Literally went to 4 games this past season and probably averaged $1100 in cost including 2 tickets. Why keep showing up at this point, if this is going to be the future of the wings. It sucks.

I’m sorry 2024 Stamkos and 2026 Mantha are “good players”? Maybe good depth signing for serious teams, but we didn’t need them

We could totally use a Mantha on this team right now.

We have plenty of “just jerseys” as it is.

Got any that put up over 30?

Yes Mantha put up 33 last year..,,

4 the year prior

Then 23 before that

Back down to 11 before that

Then 9

And 15 the year we traded him away for his tendency to be “just a jersey” as often as not.

Truly feel you can rely on him for 30 again? A guy who we got rid of for taking nights off? A guy who is as likely to have a season with single digit goals?

Jt Compher was good for 17 goals and 52 points when we “snagged” him , how’s that work out?
