I really think Loui, after July 1 bonus, is going to mutually terminate. Not sure we could save enough on cap to make it worthwhile terminating, @Alflives, but I think there are teams out there, that Eriksson could help, and with only 3k actual salary due for 3 years, I think we’ll find someone to take him after July 1 bonus is paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yes. Get rid of 2 of Sutter Baer or Spooner and sign this guy. 2 legit top 6 forwards in one off season hell yeah. Would be a nice fit with Pettersson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two of the guys you listed (not including Nyquist) should be anywhere near a top 6 though. Luckily, Miller can also play center.

Nyquist isn't a C. He's LW or RW. Can play either side. He's a skill player who can pass the puck exactly what Horvat and Pearson need for their line. Gaudette is 5th C. He can play wing and C while he learns the NHL game. Always need extra C as there's always an injury. Especially when one of them is named Sutter. 5 centres are minimum.. That's what we have.

We could use another winger, but we don't desperately need it anymore. Don't be so sure man... we have been dying for consistent scoring lines since our last cup final....

MeanSeanBean Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I mean, sure. If the price is right and we can trade for a D, I'm down. Have always liked him. Our forwards group would become pretty formidable with another addition like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dombrova22 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 1 hour ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: If we were to sign Nyquist, signing someone like Meyers would become more difficult, considering the money that it would take to sign both of them. That said, if it keeps us from overpaying Meyers and making a trade for someone on an existing contract that's easier to swallow, I'm all for it, as long as Nyquist isn't given a full NTC and we're able to move him at some point in a few years. It's my understanding that they plan to buyout Spooner, look for a possible trade of Hutton and Loui, and if not Loui will be buried in the minors.

Currently if they focus on Pettersson and Boeser there is not a lot of skill to compensate. Compete and drive and decent size but a touch more skill would be good. This is why I can’t wait for Pod as he gives both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again. Killed us last year when Bo burned himself out trying to make up for when Sutter and Petey were injured. That's one nice thing with Miller on board, it lightens that load. Another C is not a bad idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
