Nyqvist with petey or horvat? 

You could drop Boeser to Horvat’s line. Throw Nyqvist at RW with Miller and Petey. 

 

Would give Petterson a very fast offensive wing and Bo and Boeser already have chemistry.

Now that we are getting the Lu salary recapture penalty....  forget signing Nyquist for $5M+ AAV....and he's undersized and soft anyway... so just bring in Corey Perry if healthy!! He's big, tough, can score a crap load of PP goals...  pretty sure he'd take 2 years, $5M deal. But then again he'll probably consider contenders first.

Perry’s skating these days is on par with Milan Lucic’s. Let that sink in.

They didn't say that. They just don't want old slow broken down perry.  Big difference lol.

Well... I was being half sarcastic... of coz Perry isn't the most ideal solution...  just really sucks that we are under even more pressure to ditch Sutter and Tanev to free up cap space + buy our Schaller and Spooner.

I would really like to get Nyqvist on our team. 

 

Goldobin Pettersson Boeser 
Baertchi Horvat Virtanen

Pearsons Miller Nyquist 

Roussel Beagle Leivo 

Pretty sure they wouldn't be bringing these guys in to play on the third line.

Maybe more like:

 

Miller Pettersson Boeser 
Pearson Horvat Nyquist

Baertschi Sutter Virtanen

Motte Beagle Leivo 

 

Not sure if Nyquist plays on his off-wing, but you get the idea.

Ain't nothing wrong with that lineup.  Just add in a touch of Roussel and good to go.  Gaudette also standing by.

That's an ill fit for Baer. Not sure where he fits anymore TBH - though with the Luongo CR we might not have room for Nyquist anymore anyway.

Sure... so sounds like you're content with Goldobin in your top 6.

I don’t think Goldobin has the depth to be in our top 6...

 

 Miller-Pettersson-Boeser

pearson-Horvat- Virtanen/Baertschi

 

 

thats without adding anything...

but adding NHL senior citizens will accomplish NOTHING for us. If this was 2010-2014 I’d love to have Perry here, but he’s on the wrong side of 30 now :)

Lucic delivered a crap load of hits last year. You can’t hit if you can’t skate.

You also can't hit if you have the puck.

So if you can't skate and still have a lot of hits.....how often did you have the puck?:P

Baertschi - injury prone and inconsistent, trade bait to shed $3M!

 

Virtanen - inconsistent, better suited for 3rd - energy line, still cheap to keep hold of 

 

Goldobin - super inconsistent, Green is sick of him!

 

We just need one more capable top 6 guy!!
