  1. As of right now we're significantly worse than we were last year. A downgrade in goaltending and our best defensive Dman gone. Not to mention Stetcher wasn't chopped liver either. Wonder if we'll circle back to Stetcher now that Tenev is gone?
  2. Legit thought the OEL deal would go down today. Don't we kinda need to know what our team and cap situation looks like before we head into free agency?

      I assume JB has a couple ufa targets in mind and would prefer to not trade away young players.

      For example, if he can get Pietrangelo at the same hit as OEL, why trade?

      He'll still have to give something up to unload Sutter, Rooster etc, but the ask won't be as damaging.

      Can walk from Marky and Tanev, get a vet 1b option... lots of opportunities I think

      for sure Lucky, its like a walk through your garden, lots of good options out there to get the job done. 

       

      I have no doubt Benning has been in touch already with other player agents who's clients want to be here as well. 

       

      What I don't want to see is an overpayment or another anchor contract, other than that the should be a fun part of keeping the window open. 

  3. So link some rando on Twitter? The whole point of putting up a tweet is show the sentiments of somebody that does have some authority or reach. Dude might as well just post the gif himself. TBH linking tweets, unless some news is being delivered, it's a rumor, or a well articulated thought in which the author deserves some credit, is cringe in and of itself.
  4. This might hold some water if we were talking about some sort of well articulated thought and not a random gif.
  5. Why should we care about some nobody on Twitter with 80 followers?
  6. I imagine he probably would have gotten more than we'd be willing to pay in arbitration, so this really isn't surprising.
  7. I don't understand all the rules exactly. Does this mean he can't go to arbitration?
  8. Could always circle back to him later. I like Stetch a lot but at this point we have bigger fish to fry.
  9. And now's when we drastically lower our offer.
  10. Good. Markstrom and Tanev should be the priority. Trade never should have happened to begin with,
  11. Just woke up to the news. This &^@#ing sucks. Eddie was a huge inspiration to me as a guitar player. Still reeling from the news. RIP Eddie.
  12. As annoying as the constant Boeser trade proposals are, it does speak to the fact that most people on this board do realize that a young, top 6 forward on a good contract has a ton of value. He may not be the best player on the team, but he's still a damn good hockey player. It sucks that he seems to have lost that wicked wrist shot he had in his rookie season, but it speaks to the quality of player he is that he's still able to consistently net points despite the setbacks his injury cause. He's also become quite strong on the puck, which again, is a testament to the quality of player he is. People can say "So and so would net just as many points if they had they same opportunity", and yet nobody has. Toff had one really good game in the playoffs and was invisible the rest of the time and Virtanen has been about as consistent as most politicians are honest. Either $&!# or get off the pot.
  13. Glad people are finally catching onto this.
  14. Well there's a little good news on the time frame for a new season.
  15. He's 29 and on a terrible contract. If Boeser is moved in a package for OEL I will give up on this team. I don't give a &^@# if that makes me a bad fan.
  16. How the team fell apart after Markstrom went down has to be pretty high up the list.
  17. This is really messed up if true. That last line is almost beyond belief.
  18. Friendly reminder that for all of our supposed depth at wing, without Boeser our top line RW is a dude that's only ever hit 50 points once, 4 years ago. Carry on.
  19. Calm down. It was pretty close. Both Hughes and Makar would have been deserving winners.
