LOL That's what one has to do in order to win. It's easy to leave lots of cap room if one isn't trying to spend to the max or push for a Stanley Cup win. But if one wants to win one has to take it to the limit, ooh ooh, take it to the limit, aah aaaah, take it to the limit, one more time... ...take it to the limit, eee-eee-eee, take it to the limit, why don't we, take it to the limit, one more time...

There could be some fun comparables from that roster: Henrik - Pettersson Daniel - Boeser Kesler - Horvat Ehrhoff - Hughes Samuelsson - Baertschi Burrows - Miller Torres - Ferland Hamhuis - Juolevi Salo - Myers Bieksa - Benn Edler - himself Tanev - himself Hansen - Roussel Luongo/Schneider - Markstrom/Demko And not even mentioned: Pearson, Leivo, Virtanen, Beagle, Goldobin, Sutter, Gaudette, MacEwen, Stecher and possibly Tryamkin (for the playoffs). I'm feeling very optimistic this year, no hesitation, let's go for it!!! Interesting comp. Here's about where I'd have it now. Henrik >>> Pettersson Daniel >>> Boeser Kesler >>> Horvat Ehrhoff >> Hughes Samuelsson >> Baertschi Burrows >> Miller Torres =< Ferland Hamhuis >>> Juolevi Salo > Myers Bieksa >>> Benn Edler - himself Tanev - himself Hansen > Roussel Luongo/Schneider >>> Markstrom/Demko Obviously your projecting out on our young players, while I'm just looking at things as of today in my comp. Hughes should be better than Ehrhoff. Pettersson has that sky high ceiling, Boeser could score more than Daniel & be a great 1st line compliement. Horvat has that Kesler role with possibly even a bit more potential. I don't think we have anywhere near the goaltending to compete with Luongo/Schneider. But I see comparable center depth, and a defenseman in Hughes who has the potential to be one of the best in franchise history. If we could get Askarov that would be our Luongo. Juolevi I see closer to how Edler was back then, minus the physical side. Juolevi is really more of a smart offensive/puck moving type than a reliable matchup DFD like Hamhuis. Not that he can't be a minute munching defender like Hammer but his calling card is really vision & moving the puck IMO. Then hopefully with Hughes/Juolevi/Woo developing (Woo I'd say is most like Bieksa in our system) add a couple of secondary pieces via trade & UFA then we might have something. A big hit through trade like MG did with Ehrhoff would be another huge boost. Edited September 13, 2019 by Smashian Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I missed the reasoning He was announced as "in the next group" (the 3-some) and when they sat down I heard a voice "should we wait" then another "let's start" ....... so I think he was expected to be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The France-born winger had surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee at the end of March. The usual recovery period is six to nine months, meaning he might be ready as early as late September or as late as Christmastime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
