Just trade Fake Virtanen for a project/prospect dman. Im sure Benning can find one he loves making those types of deals. And then sign Evander Kane in the offseason. Kane will be a huge upgrade from Virtanen.
I agree. I've been keeping tabs on him all year. I dont think I've ever had interest in a player picked soo late in the draft but I hope he develops into a solid player for us oneday.
Damn horvat out up to 6weeks is devastating but i expect Granlund to take his spot.
Goldobin Granlund Boeser
Sedin Sedin Eriksson
Bear Gagner Vanek
Virtanen Burmistrov Gaunce
5yrs 22.5mill? If he keeps playing like this then i think its fair at 4.5 per. Im sure after all these 1yr deals he wants term. You can tell he loves the city and wants to play in a canadian market.
I agree, as i fan knowing that were going to be bottom feeders again. I dont want to watch the Gagners, Vaneks, Eriksson etc. Goldobin now has 7 goals in 7games with Utica, dating back from last season.
Aslong as we draft well im okay with drafting mid-round while squeezing into the playoffs. I feel like we have a good amount of prospects to develop rightnow. Im prob the only one on this board that thinks were going to over-achieve with our first year head coach and sneak into the playoffs.
