  1. The three I saw are all quite young and would carry some trade value that I would expect to be higher than Lind so that’s why I thought it possible. Probably just a pipe dream though.
  2. Anyone think there’s a chance Holtby is traded to Seattle with salary retained for Lind?
  3. Forgive my ignorance but can they do that at this point? Doesn't free agency happen after expansion draft?
  4. Unless another goalie came back I think you would be exposing Demko by default in this scenario.
  5. This was my exact thinking too, unfortunate that we cant make it happen
  6. Forgive my ignorance, do you not have to clear waivers to be on taxi squad?
  7. Any word/rumors on compliance buyouts? If we can get out of the Louie contract then I wont be nearly as disappointed with being bounced in the play-in round as then we would get a quality pick and be in an excellent position to be better next year because we can (probably) afford all of our UFA's and RFA's. No buyout likely means cap-hell and going into next season with an equal or inferior team, and therefore risking a lottery pick being given to the Devils. Under that scenario this season would seem to have a better chance on a long run then next year or the one after and I'll be
  8. Thought Markstrom and Leivo looked genuinely really happy for Bo as well
  9. I like the idea of splitting up Boeser and EP. Goldobin EP Ferland Baertschi Bo Boeser Pearson/Leivo Miller Virtanen Pearson/Leivo Beagle Sutter Motte This lineup only works if Goldobin figures out consistency, effort defence but if he can I think this lineup would be deadly. When Roussell is healthy slot him onto the 4th line and depending on team health maybe make a trade. 4th line starts 87.4% of their draws in the d-zone. I think it would be a very effective shutdown line with 2 good face off men that would allow them to be aggressive and not have to worry about being thrown out of a face off. 3 scoring lines that all have a combination of high level: playmaking, scoring/shooting, speed, and grit/crash-and-bang/be-a-royal-pain-in-the-arse-to-play-against. Proven past chemistry in the top 6 with the triple B’s line and Goldy/EP. Middle 6 are good in their own zone. Gaudette plays lots of minutes in Utica and is called up for an injury to a top 9 centre. Motte fills in on the 4th line wing and one of Pearson Leivo or Virtanen can fill in the top six. Sutter fills in for Beagle if he is injured. I like the balance depth and versatility of this lineup.
  10. OK I see what you mean. Don't really agree with giving teams more control than they already have over players though. As it is unless you have a nmc you are essentially a piece of meat. But this is another debate entirely and probably not the thread to discuss it in.
  11. No such thing. Patrick Stefan is the best example of this.
