Lines would probably look like Kuz - Pete - Mikheyev Pearson/Hogs - Miller - Boeser Podz/Trenin - Suter - Garland Joshua - Blueger - Trenin/Podz Trenin would definitely make us a grittier team for sure.

I don't like losing Karlsson plus a 4th, but this seems like the type of deal we might have to make. A deal that looks like a loss initially, but gets us under the cap and has some benefit long term.

I could see a deal with any of the Habs,jackets, preds, ducks or Sabres. Maybe more, depending on LTIR for some teams.

I'm guessing Beauvillier is traded before the start of the season.

One things for sure is that D corps is much tougher to play against.

Imo that's a big risk for Petey. He gets injured and who knows what happens. He can secure the bag before the season.

imo a contract will be hammered out before the regular season. If it was me, it's awfully risky to risk injury with as much guaranteed money on the table available. This is just me guessing, but a contract is definitely going to be 6-8 years at 10.5-11 per. Hard to walk away from that.

Forgot about that. Kind of a win/win situation for the big club. If Aman shows improvement we have a solid 4th line contributor, if he doesn't we gain a solid player on the farm. Alvin's done an excellent job with what he's been given from Benning.

Not only does this signing give us some much needed center depth this year, but secures the 4th line center position next year with a very suitable player, if we decide to be aggressive and upgrade the 3rd line center position next offseason. This might be the end for Amans tenure this upcoming offseason.

Imo they have a better defensive unit than us. They don't have a franchise altering dman, but overall a better unit. Hughes- Cole Soucy - Hronek Brisebois - Myers Chabot - Chychrun Sanderson - Zub Brannstrom- Hamonic

He still got 21 points in 31 games for the Rags and 4 points in 7 games in the playoffs. He is past his prime, but still a very useful player. Love this signing for them. Sens are a playoff team this year.

If I had to choose any player that I'd want for the bottom 6 right now. I would probably pick Pius Suter.

I like both players, but for this to limit the risk of the trade, Flyers would definitely have to eat at least 1 million per year on that Sanheim contract.

Would love to add Kunin, but that's only if we were able to trade a winger away.

Well if that's the deal, I'm Glad they didn't do it. From one problem to another, too many wingers.

Where would you put him? Hogs would be ahead of him in the depth chart. We really need to trade a forward, especially with Pearson showing up for training camp. Kuzmenko - Pete - Mikheyev Pearson/Hogs - Miller - Boeser Beauviller - Blueger - Garland Joshua - Aman - Podkolzin Love that Pearson could be back, very dependable player that can play on the PK, chip in 12-15 goals and is good along the wall. We have to find a way to trade Garland.

Compher is a very good 3rd line center, but will he become a very good 2nd line center? That's a lot of cheddar to put out, based on a hunch. Yzerman has been making extremely questionable moves for the past 2 seasons.

I like Compher, but I'm glad we didn't do this.

This could be low risk high reward type of move. Especially with the ties to Mackinnon.

Yes, but regardless I think one of Beauvillier or Garland are dealt this offseason.

I think they find a way to trade a winger.

That sounds like a lovely evening.

I could see them resigning Bergeron if doesn't retire, signing Lucic, Wheeler and Duchene.

The farm has some great depth down there right now. Wolanin - Juulsen Pettersson - Woo Rathbone (who I expect to be traded) - Johanssen Mcward

San Jose - Myers, Beauvillier, Kilmovich, Martin and a pick Vancouver - Kahkonen and Kunin Reasoning - San Jose cuts loose Kahkonen, who didn't have a very good season, although San Jose is horrible. Creates more playing time for Blackwood. They gain two assets that could be traded for more assets at the TDL and acquire a stop gap back up goalie, a pick, as well as a young PWF with potential. We gain 4.65 million in cap relief to be a bit more tactical during the offseason, looking for value deals. Take on Kahkonen for one year to buy time for Silovs. Also, I just really like Kunin, feel like he could help our 3rd line with some grit and the PK. Not to mention he has played the wing and Center before, so that gives us more options. Kuzmenko - Pete - Mikheyev Hogs - Miller - Boeser ? - ? - Podkolzin Joshua - Aman - Kunin Hughes - ? ? - Hronek Hirose - ? Demko Kahkonen If both Pearson and Poolman are on LTIR this would give us over 16 million in cap space. More than enough to make a significant impact. First I would target J.T Compher 3-4 year or O'Reilly on a 1-2 year contract. For the sake of this. Compher 4 years at 3.25 per Soucy 3 years at 2.75 per Wood 2 years at 2.25 per Schenn 2 years at 2 per with NTC Acquire C.Tanev for a 2025 2nd or 2025 3rd Kuzmenko - Pete - Mikheyev Hogs - Miller - Boeser Wood - Compher - Podz Joshua - Aman - Kunin Hughes - Tanev Soucy - Hronek Hirose - Schenn Demko Kahkonen This would leave us with a shade over 2 million in cap space to upgrade at the deadline if need be. I think this would be a playoff team if no major injuries occur. Thoughts?
