  1. Okay chicken littles, the sky is not falling. Trust management with the cap. They are not going to jettison all of Miller, Boeser and Garland because those are our meat and potatoes guys. If they can massage room from under Myers and OEL contracts, they should. Dickinson is wasted cap space. Hunt should be gone. Poolman should be left on ir. If we lose Pearson we will make room for a grit forechecker.
  2. Coach B two weeks sooner and we'd be singing a different tune for sure.
  3. We can't just trade them for the sake of trading them. We have to optimize our moves. I think Coach B deserves a full season with the team from last year. Bolstered up with 3 or 4 good adds. I'm not in favor of blowing it up. If anything trade Myers for a 1st, add two formidable 4M$ dmen. Trade Dickinson and a couple of parts for a Copp or Helm. We were so close to making the playoffs last year.
  4. I'd prioritize a bigger guy first. We have Dermott and maybe Juulsen or Booker to fill in.
  5. Marino sounds like a Tanev type of player, respectable yes, but we need a crease clearer a big body that can match the big push in the crease. Those battles are harder fought in the playoffs. Marino is listed at 181 pounds.
  6. July 1st here. If he doesn't buy himself out, end of Feb there by the looks of it. @SilentSam
  7. Manson's still worth putting a bid on. Let's see how high it goes. Otherwise Zad, or how about Ryan McDonaugh if TB swaps him for OEL. They really really suck on their pp. Similar salaries. We get better defensively.
  8. Without a bona-fide starting goalie, and with their problems up front with a lack of forward depth, I see Auto missing the playoffs again. So likely if Tryamkin stays, we could probably get him for early March. End of season and for the playoffs.
  9. Jameel White ; a very under appreciated thespian master! Comedic genius I say!
  10. Shouldn't Spencer be on the main roster page?
  11. Marino, Poulin, and a 1st feels like cheapening the value of Miller. (Tofu - a forward, a prospect, a 1st and a 5th. Copp - a 1st a 2nd and a 5th plus a forward.) Marino is a lateral move. I think we need a bigger more physical, hitting dman like Zadarov or Manson. I really hope we don't turn into a dumping ground for Pitts contracts.
  12. Although I see Kadri's upside. I think he'd be perennial nightmare as far as pm's. His pm and suspensions will increase in a Canucks uni.
  13. Let him earn his way back in Abby. We've already got Hogs to be patient with.
  14. The last thing we need is a albatross contract like LE.
  15. I'd like to see what we have in Keeper and Juulsen first, besides I think we might have eyes on better ufa's on defense like Manson, Miller or Zadarov.
  16. Yes a failed experiment for sure, didn't come as advertised. No face offs, no puck battle, non hitter, scoring non existent. Saving money with him in Abby for Paul or Helm would help our bottom 6.
  17. Paul or Helm instead of Dickinson would help our sandpaper. As well as forecheck and puck possession. If there is no interest he can earn his spot on the 4th line by starting in Abby.
  18. We need to get Manson and Zadarov, our new Dirk and Babych duo, and subtract the Myers contract. Two new defensive defenseman make up for the loss of Myers. OEL we keep as pp insurance. Bottom pairing will be Dermott, Schenn, Poolman (ir?) 7 dman Rathbone
  19. Hopefully Kuznemko is up for that
  20. How much would we save if Dickinson starts in Abby.
