    The Bears remain in the basement of the NFC North as the only team with a negative point differential. But they are in the discussion for the playoffs as long as they continue to win, however ugly those wins may be, during this stretch against lower level competition. Chicago is a 5.5 point home favorite against the basement dwelling Saints. Plenty of crappy teams have beat good teams this season, and Chicago absolutely cannot afford to fall victim to one this week. Their three wins are against bad-to-mediocre competition, with no wins over a team currently over .500. We should expect a TD+ victory. But this team still has so many faults, and struggles to finish offensively even when they put together solid drives. This is one where they should be able to finish consistently. If they don’t, the likelihood of making the playoffs will plummet.

    That’s a surprise after Blashill said he’d probably miss a week

    Not sure why that wouldn’t help them win games. Aside from their individual abilities, allowing them to slot middle six and bottom six guys lower in the lineup rather than higher may be the biggest impact. 2 entry level contracts and Bedards manageable extension (assuming) will also make it easy to afford some other quality forward to slot into top six role (although they probably won’t do that)

    Sounds like Dach is moving up to Bedards line. He’s more of a physical presence than Donato, who’s going to the third line with Dickinson and Mikheyev, two of the best defensive forwards on the team.
  5. jersey cubs fan
    He is a useful goal scorer that shouldn’t be on an NHL rosters top line. But he’s not blocking anybody now and isn’t really tradable with his inflated cap number. Ideally one of Badards running mates is a high flying kid in the near future, and another player bumps him down to third line duty by next year. He’ll be gone after the 27/28 season. Maybe before if a contender needs secondary scoring (they all do) and hawks eat money.

    Last year they give up an empty net goal there. This year, they actually kind of have a chance to score. baby steps

    And while I agree that now is the best time to play the Ravens, but they don’t play them now. They play them at the end of this month which could/should allow them to get more healthy, including Lamar. If Lamar is healthy he’ll light them up

    How are you not including Saints as trash? If the bears are on their level they might as well blow this thing up

    In addition to the upcoming year he already signed for. three years in his prime taking ~60% of his market value. He could have easily gotten $15m for two years and been exalted for giving a hometown discount and making it easier for Bowman to round out the roster
  10. jersey cubs fan
    He is set to become a free agent at 31/32 now. He’ll get his bag in the next one when the cap is higher, but he’s taking all the risk and giving teams an excuse not to bid on him for his post peak years
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Holy horsefeathers that’s awfully low. like almost so low that it will not affect anybody else’s negotiations because it’s so far outside the realm of realistic
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Washington is 3-2, undefeated at home and has scored 33 more points than they have given up. They have one good win, an upset in LA over the Chargers and they are 3.5 point favorites over Chicago. The one thing Chicago has in their favor is the old east coast team coming back from the west coast and the Bears are coming off a bye. Jayden Daniels might not be able to exploit this defense as well as more established QBs should be able to. But I’m not seeing a Bears win here. If they pull off the upset the playoffs are still an outside shot, while a loss virtually eliminates them as they prepare for the second half onslaught of 6 likely losses.

    Kind of annoyed that Grzelcyk signed. A mediocre offensive minded LHD doesn’t rally do anything for this group.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    They have a slight chance of not being terrible this year. More likely than not they will be bottom 5. But this year will be with young players being exciting and dangerous but mistake prone, rather than a roster full of 2-5 million dollar garbage vets. The kids should start filling the roster and by the following season they should threaten a playoff run. there should be ~5 talented guys making their debut between now and 12 months from now along with the ~10 very young guys already in the mix.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Done!
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Wonder if there’s a way to move him to devils since they need to make room for Hughes’ new contract, take back a Dawson Mercer who hasn’t lived up to early promise but has more upside than Reichel.

    Luke Hughes 7 with 9 aav

    Stupid Mets could have prevented us from watching this awful reds team that has no business being in the postseason
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Korchinski sent to Rockford. Slightly disappointing but not particularly surprising. He’s really in a weird spot with Rinzel seemingly leapfrogging him in the system and Levshunov also prioritized with draft status and usage theres still time for Korchinski, but it’s hard to find a spot for him, especially if Rinzel and Levshunov are the PP1/PP2 guys running the top 4 with more defensive minded partners in 5 on 5. With Murphy still around for most of the season, that is the most likely way for Korchinski to slot into the roster
  20. jersey cubs fan
    McDavid will get 20 Not a direct comparison because of position but this points to the direction the market may be going for Luke Hughes, a RFA that has been out of camp for devils Hawks probably want Bedard for ~12 but he probably wants shorter term to make his upside enormous as a ~24/25 yo UFA
