  1. Still my #1 target depending on cost. He matches the pace our team wants to play plus he plays with an edge. Defence is a bit suspect but not like Barrie or anything. He’s a D that could be here a long time too. Primary targets for me are: 1RD: Ristolainen 2RD: Vatanen or Hamonic (Short term only) RW: Granlund or Toffoli (Short term only) G: Holtby (Filled) May need to move cap out but that’s not out of the question.
  2. Hilarious!!! Didn’t realize Hall was such a comic. Buffalo being the best chance to make it happen..... Probably be because they will be so far from the playoffs that they will trade him to a contender.
  3. Can we get Ristolainen now? Help them offset the cap hit from Hall
  4. Time to proceed with plan C at this point. Lock up Hamonic and Vatanen. Not a bad plan C to be honest.
  5. This is who I thought should be our Stecher replacement on the third pairing. Hmm, something must be brewing.
  6. I have to think the silence means there is something big brewing. Once a team makes smaller signings/trades they are close to done. We’ve barely gotten started so there are some moves being worked on. JB nailed our goalie situation but there must be more coming. Has to be...
  7. Why not just sign Sergachev to a 6 year 6.5M deal. Cost is a 1st and 3rd. Future solved!
  8. If there is any way to get Tryamkin out of his contract early and sign him to a 4 year 2.5 per deal it would leave a lot of money for an elite player like Hall who has said he would take a shorter term deal and maybe less money to not play for a dumpster fire team. Hall Pettersson Boeser Miller Horvat Virtanen Pearson Gaudette MacEwen Leivo Beagle Motte Hughes Myers Edler Tryamkin Joulevi Rafferty Move Roussel, Sutter along for futures or thereabouts. There are still a lot of options out there for us.
  9. If it’s possible then I’m all for it. Give his KHL team some decent money in buying out the contract and bring him into the fold on RD. Timing is perfect and he’s exactly what we need.
  10. Was thinking Bogo gives us that defensive presence we now miss from Tanev plus is a cup winner. To me Granlund is the perfect fit fit Bo and Pearson. He’s a playmaker to get them the puck as they both like to drive the net. Nashville is a defensive team but he didn’t do well there. Could be a nice discount contract too.
  11. Sign Barrie, Bogosian and Granlund and move a couple guys along that aren’t needed if we need to get under the cap.
  12. Well if we sign Barrie and Hamonic they would offset each other nicely. Petro should be the number one priority however the following is not bad at all: Hughes Myers Edler Barrie Joulevi Hamonic
  13. Sami Vatanen would be a good add to the right side if AP or a big trade for Ekblad, Ristolainen, types don’t materialize. Likely a better option than Barrie. Who knows maybe JB has a mega deal in place for Sergachev. There has to be something brewing.
  14. Agreed, I don’t think it would cost too much to move Sutter, Baertschi, Roussel at this point. We may have to add but not as much as Eriksson which is likely in the 1st territory.
  15. Think it’s 2 at 5.4. Good contract for a young physical PMD who is also an RHD
  16. If we were giving up a first I would chase Ristolainen who was rumoured to move last year. Likely needs more than a first but that’s the main piece.
  17. It’s basically like trading a first for Pietrangelo. Seems worth it to me. Only think I hope is that a contract only goes 5 years max.
  18. Outside of Hughes, Edler and Joulevi are the small guys at 6’3, haha. I just had this feeling that AP wasn’t even considering Van as a destination, but now I’m starting to get a feeling that JB may be big game hunting now. I think a player of AP’s caliber is needed if JB pulls out the stops on moving out bad contracts too.
  19. Man that would be unreal: Hughes Pietrangelo Edler Myers Joulevi Tryamkin Rathbone Rafferty That would make us forget who Tanev even was.... Well not really but you catch my drift.
  20. If we can secure AP we’ll be fine to have young guys on the third pairing battling it out. Hughes AP Edler Myers Those guys will eat a ton of minutes.
  21. What?!?!?! 6'4? When was that reported? What did I miss? Would be awesome to bring them both over for a playoff run. Talk about some playoff type players.
  22. Definitely interesting. Was always a Sven fan, but thought his time in Van was all over. He will have had a good amount of time away to recover (Not that time heals all) and maybe he could actually come back similar to before. Maybe he fills a need on the third line: Baertschi Gaudette Virtanen
  23. Can Tryamkin's KHL contract be broken so we can just bring him back. We need him so badly.
