Eric Tulsky just won the Cup while his AHL team is in the final. He has four 1st round picks in the next three years.
He has Aho, Jarvis, Ehlers, Stankoven, Blake, Slavin, and Miller all locked up until at least 2031.
Probably should have won GM of the Year
Remember, Conn Smythe voters. This is how the Stanley Cup Playoffs literally began (with me and @AJMleczko on the call). First game. Jordan Staal.
His team would go on to win 8 in a row. And are currently 15-3 in the playoffs. It started with this fight.
Jordan Staal just did become the first player with a 4-game goal streak to open the Stanley Cup Final since Mike Bossy did so in 1982 vs the Canucks.*

RBA is basically putting a bet on everyone else figuring out how to play defense/the system again.
Freddie is the best option if the Canes are calm and collected.
Bussi would be the better bet if we see a repeat of Gm. 3 with the TOs/blown assignments/missed clearances.
Alright…a few thoughts on goalies and such.
* There is no planet on which we have more information/a better feel for/know what’s best for the team when it comes to goalie choice than the head coach.
RBA is going to play the goalie he thinks gives them the best chance to win
