  1. Over payment for Kane. We can do better IMO.
  2. Especially with Eichel out. Later this year/summer though...it's not impossible.
  3. Yeah I seem to recall him being high on Reinhart and seeing if he could work a trade to pick him or at least so it was reported. Next year: Sedin, Sedin, Hansen Eriksson, Reinhart, Boeser Virtanen, Horvat, Sutter Zalewski, Gaunce, Dorsett Edler, Stetcher Hutton, Gudbranson Juolevi, Tryamkin Pedan
  4. Eriksson fills the winger gap in the near-midterm. Gives us more time to find a replacement. And top 6 LW are probably one of the easiest pieces to find as UFA. All we really need is a 1C... In a heart beat. Eriksson/future draftee/UFA, Reinhart, Boeser Baer/Rodin, Horvat, Virtanen Granlund, Gaunce, Lockwood Zalewski, Cassels, Zhukenov
  5. I like Virtanen with Horvat personally.
  6. Virt's a long way from being able to play on the cycle IMO. His speed and physicality are certainly a good fit but he's likely going to be 3-4 years before his brain catches up with his body to play at that level IMO. And that's fine, he's only 20 bloody years old. Unfortunately the twins are likely gone by then. Virtanen fits best with Bo IMO. For now, they should be playing with one of Hansen or Sutter IMO. They're both pretty North/South guys too but they're experienced enough to at least adapt a bit of cycle game in. Retrieve pucks in corners/along boards and go to the net, get ready for prime passes and shoot, shoot, shoot. Then skate like the wind to get back if the puck starts heading to our zone. Sutter would help Hank out on draws too (they could share the load on their strong sides and 'cheat' a bit more with a nice backup C if they get waived). Sedin, Sedin, Sutter Baer, Granlund, Eriksson (O zone starts/ easier match ups) Virtanen, Horvat, Hansen (shut down/counter punch) Burr, Gaunce, Dorsett, Skille, Zalewki etc
  7. I said from before free agency that Eriksson would not be a good fit with the twins other than maybe PP. He needs to be the legit top 6, veteran skill on a 2nd line with some mix of Baer, Granlund, Rodin (when healthy)...maybe Sutter.
  8. Yeah, this team's seen it's fair share of eye injuries.
  9. They also need to get Bo with some mix of Sutter, Hansen and Virtanen IMO. Too many mish-mashed lines of North/South players playing with East/West players and we wonder why we're not scoring...
  10. Right with you there on Dors...not so much on the Gudbranson hate. Largely he stopped anything from happening before it's even started just by being on the ice. He also took a solid penalty a couple games ago in the name of payg back.
  11. Boeser seems like he might have a smidgen of shooting ability
  12. Nah, generally he's pretty funny while being wrong/contradictory.
  13. Love to get Jost too though.
  14. Rather send our 2017. 2018 looks like a deeper draft.
  15. Who are you and what have you done with LB?!
  16. aGENT

    Anton Rodin | RW/LW

    The injury is from playing in Europe FWIW.
  17. Again, not so much 'injury history'. More a recognition of the way he plays and that he's constantly getting rag dolled/nailed with pucks and generally takes a beating and rarely plays close to 100%. That WILL eventually catch up to him. I'd prefer to move him while his value's high and before it does catch up. And no, it's not the only reason.
  18. He hasn't had a slew of major injuries knocking him out for months at a time but he has had numerous 'small' injuries, frequently gets NAILED and fairly regularly plays less than 100%. That he's managed to largely maintain a relatively high level of play in those situations is commendable but I have to agree with @Boudrias that it's not likely a recipe for good long term health. With Stetcher looking good, Tryamkin in the wings, Pedan likely 7th D next year, Juolevi, Brisebois etc developing well, I'd be more than happy to entertain a Tanev + package (our 2017 1st and one of Rodin/Granlund/Baer?) for a top 6 forward before Tanev's NTC kicks in this summer while his value's high and his health is hopefully not yet in question.
