  1. Looks like no UFA's can be signed either, since signings that aren't reported by Vintage basically aren't signings either.
  2. Rangers probably say no, and that's what happens when you sell low.
  3. I disagree though, we got a (so far) stable backup goalie and $1.45 million in freed cap space.
  4. All good, it's a moot point though, he's already gone.
  5. Solid song and upbeat mood but the "ole, ole, ole, ole" just gives me soccer goal vibes, so maybe replace "Don't You Forget About Me"?
  6. Maybe, but I for one would prefer a legit 1B/ fringe #2 ahead of a (currently) #3/ #4 (depending on how highly you rank Silovs, Martin could be #3 or #4). Remember too, this is likely more than just developing Martin, but rather if Petey is unhappy with the team not competing he could just not re-sign and that'd be a major step back, even if the backup goalie (in this case you're suggesting Martin) does well. I'd rather give the team the best fighting chance to compete if that ensures longer term success.
  7. I don't get what you mean by this, what role would you want DeSmith to play? Could see the reasoning for Martin, and I do hope the best man wins the backup job.
  8. How do we have too many great goalies? We were 1 injury to Demko away from playing either Spencer Martin (he of the terrible last season) or an unproven Silovs as the #1. DeSmith was the 1B in Pittsburgh and now he can be the #2 here to let Arturs develop in the AHL and give us an extra goalie ahead of Martin.
  9. Lol we have no cap space either... and they only have 1 goalie active.
  10. There must be a story behind this! Do tell
  11. RIP CDC, see you guys on HF Boards?
  12. If Pearson's still out, Bailey as the 13th forward could be a smart choice, since he's played in all situations before and could be a savvy fill-in anywhere.
  13. Wonder if they would take Petey and Hronek for Hughes x 2. They don't really need the rest of the stuff outside of Petey (unless we do Petey's + another decent asset like Lekkerimaki (UNLESS D-Petey really pops off, in which case perhaps we can trade them across) for Hughes x2).
  14. If Edmonton doesn't keep him I hope we try to sign him, he's got both toughness and some scoring upside.
  15. RHD are widely regarded as the toughest position to fill (following C if you're talking about signing or picking them up). Juulsen for instance does have 1st round pedigree from 2015 and played an average of 15 minutes, with a high of 19 minutes. That said it'd be great if we could find that diamond in the rough.
  16. Lol what you described is essentially Juulsen (I don't think Myers and Hughes are a quality fit). Unless teams like LA or CBJ have RD without waiver exemption (e.g. if they happen to not want Peeke anymore) then maybe they would move someone who would be an improvement on a #6? But even then I'd say don't keep your hopes up, either they don't pan out or you're just looking for your run of the mill right-handed muscle that can move some and not be a defensive liability but it's probably gonna be slim pickings (highly doubt any well respected prospect will slip through another organization's cracks without them trading them first). Props to Allvin and the crew if they have such a fine tooth comb to spot a value flyer.
  17. So you're saying we should go for another Juulsen or Burroughs instead of a Cole or Soucy?
  18. Not sure Seattle has room (they've got Burakovsky on IR, but is he coming back? If yes, they won't even have this currently listed $943k).
  19. I'd do it if Karlsson doesn't have to be involved.
