I mean you are presenting a convincing case to me. I’m still on the fence but if we did swing the trade I’ll be optimistic and hope you are right
i don’t see the trade fit asset wise though what would we trade next years first (which would be scary to move) + hoglander or garland and something else?
Almost a completely different defence too
I mean on paper it looks good and what we’ve been crying for
just sometimes when teams make so many changes it doesn’t always click right away or at all
super curious how things will mesh and I’d love bringing in these depth guys to camp
best players play simple
Yea if they sign depth guys 1 million dollar tickets for sure. Camp competition and depth is great. I like the idea of adding any of those guys to the mix not sure why Grady thinks it would be a problem.
Our wings need to improve and by then won’t podkolzin and or hoglander get raises too?
Not to mention a more expensive 3C if Raty doesn’t hit.
i haven’t dived deep into it I just thought it sounded expensive 1 to acquire him and then 2 to actually sign him. And I’m unsure about his mobility going forward and then having two big expensive aging RHD with Willander it might not be ideal. Pesce early in his extension could become a super expensive bottom pairing slow dman.
but I could see Bear being a factor. I do think we will be signing him mid season.
Im very unsure of a pesce acquisition and resigning being right for the team
Tough to pass on Aram and him so many times for overages too.Im with ya on those picks but we will see how it shakes down.
I would have loved adding them both too though
Im so unsure about Pesce.
And I just dont know how they'd fit Hronek Pesce and Petey raises all at once. I really think they are projecting Willander to be on the team in like 2 years and hoping bear can tie us over one more year after Cole. or they will sign another stop gap guy probably.
Well I think our PK personnel actually has improved.
We’ve added:
Mikehyev
Hronek
Cole
Soucy
Blueger
now if Aman / Joshua can step up and Myers can play PK2 we good.
first unit PK doesn’t project that bad to me:
Blueger-Mikehyev
Cole/Soucy-Hronek
Ya could be in an ideal situation for the first time in his career as a Canuck
3rd pairing + 2nd unit PK
would be nice if bear came back got back up to game speed and we moved Myers replaced him with bear
I just wanna say this has been the least stressful or upsetting UFA summer I can remember. Just calm.
Kuzmenko last year was really exciting though. But we were all stressed about the lack of change to our defence.
