Prompt 2 (Kahn on PBE)
The playoff race is certainly starting to come together. Teams vying for playoff spots, seeds and byes, the last third of the season is sure to be interesting. For the Baltimore Platoon, we still have a lot of work to try to get the President’s trophy. Being the top team in the standings at the end of the season is a nice little bragging rights prize. We can take that momentum into the playoffs and make our off-season journey a lengthy one in regards to play hockey. We want to be playing hockey more so than playing golf. Going deep in the playoffs would be nice. I am not sure what trade deadlines will happen. Which teams will be forced to move some of their stars in hopes of future resources turning into good players and draft capital. Sometimes you see a team pull the trigger on a trade and it can go a few different ways. On one hand, the team might be improved and help your team have a shot at playoffs. On the other hand, even though you are improving the team on paper, the chemistry can be messed up and cause problems and even worsened performance on the ice. It’s always a risk when making these trade deadline moves.
