  1. There's a good chance that whoever we pick up or trade for will play alongside Hughes. That should be a big selling point. Of course we need a solid defender on the right of Edler as well.
  2. We need a couple of RHD and we have extra forwards. The ones with the most value have a lower salary this year. To me we need to trade a combo of Roussel, Gaudette, and/or Benn. Of course other teams will dictate which players they value. The alternative is to sign RHD UFAs or wait for other teams to shake their roster and see what falls out.
  3. But we'd also open up a roster spot for someone else. I'm not one of the Loui haters but now I'm wondering if he really vetoed a trade last year. If he did, I'd like to kick him in the crotch; One for the money, then two for the show!
  4. I think that going to arbitration avoids an offer sheet scenario. I also said that it gives them time to negotiate a fair contract. Your valuation is your own.
  5. If you're somewhere out there passed out on the floor Oh Joey I'm not angry anymore.
  6. By going to arbitration, Jake can't be given an offer sheet. I think he's eligible? This gives us more time to negotiate a fair contract with him.
  7. Probably. I thought that if they move Rittich, that would create a little more space to fill out their roster with slightly better players. They seem to be going all in!
  8. He's just so used to blocking a ton of shots for Marky. It's an addiction!!!
  9. Is he going to be back up? Does that mean they have a deal to move Rittich in the works?
  10. They have no cap space. I wonder if they convince OEL to revisit the deal with Boston or us?
  11. Tony, Tony, Tony; You can do anything, But never go against the family!
  12. He had the motor but his hands were numb from the cold.
  13. Tank for Räty. I guess I should add for the hard of thinking that this is also a joke.
  14. I'm guessing that he's working out details with the Rangers.
  15. Tanev was terrible here. We only said he was great because we didn't want to hurt his feelings. (for those bereft of humour, that was a joke) The business side of the game sucks sometimes.
  16. If the cost is too high I would pass and look at other UFA options. Actually I would look at other options first.
  17. Myers and Edlers contracts were signed in normal times. The cap was supposed to increase by 3.5 million. COVID not only took away the increase but put pressure on a lot of teams to streamline. Now players that we could have traded are not affordable to teams that maybe would have made a deal in normal times. The cost of moving out salary became too much.Tough decisions had to be made.
  18. If Baertschi is going to play, then Benning will probably try to move either Pearson or Roussel plus for a d-man.
  19. I think that Barrie would be a Stecher replacement and play with Edler. We would still need a RHD for Hughes unless he pairs with Myers. Does Benn play pushing Juolevi to 7th d-man? I hope there's a trade coming.
  20. I think Hughes will thrive with whomever we sign to play on his right side. I think Clarke can revive Holtby's game and Demko will be solid. I also don't believe that Marky and Tanev are irreplaceable. We won a lot of games with uptempo, offence and out working other teams. We still have our top players who are young. I guess the negative ones will complain no matter what. Good luck Tanev. Watch your back!!!!
