iinatcc Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 11 hours ago, Kobayashi Maru said: For those who don't want Myers who are the targets you are thinking that would make us better? Our D is at the mercy of being the worst we have ever had if we don't make any moves. Adding Myers gives us stability as long as the cost is reasonable. I would rather spend some assets to get Ristolainen however if we just sign players like Stralman and Benn we aren't going to move the needle and I can almost guarantee that Edler and Tanev will go down with injury again because they will be overplayed. I think Myers is our best option to alleviate that, and if there are better options, we should be talking about those. Doing nothing is not an option. Well Vancouver should have targeted for Subban then and signed a forward in free agency. Maybe Vancouver wouldn't have to give up a 1st 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That idiot spouting 8 million was on crack. I wouldn't be surprised at 5 or 6 years at 5.9 million to keep him under Edler. But who knows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say: 1) top 2 d are rare, some drafts don't have more than 1. 2) they're even harder to trade for But, we now probably have one in Hughes. I think Juolevi has an outside shot at becoming a #2d. Woo and Rathbone have top 4 ceilings and we actually might see one or both of them make an appearance next year. I don't think we're far off. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, at least it doesn't come with cap recapture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Hughes and OJ coming online as offensive type d and Woo as well. They need size and defensive prowess back there. And Rathbone who's looking like he'll be a NHL player- they have the offense. Now need to insulate those guys with size and shut down ability 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Vancouver wouldn't have to give up a 1st they knew Lu's cap recapture was likely coming so maybe thats why they didn't over bid. Myers+Miller or Subban.... its hard to argue definitively that Subban would have the bigger impact on wins. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys on 650 today said the Preds wanted Gaudette, and that was what killed any deal with us. Plus, the Subban 9 million cap hit. I love watch PK play, and I’m sure he’d have been a fan favourite here, but there is something going on with him that seems to affect the locker room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hughes changes everything. He’s a guy who will easily play 24 minutes. I see him as being our top guy. Travis Green was talking about Hughes, and he said that Wuinn is a very special player. He said in game one he gave Quinn 14 minutes. Then in game five he gave Quinn 22 minutes. He said Quinn is such a great skater, and is so smart he sees him playing big minutes with ease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette for P.K. with $3 million retained (the rumour was the other deals had salary retained) .... I do that deal. Gaudette is probably not really a top 6 guy., so is replaceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
