  1. Looking at the playoffs PP Stats I think one of these teams NEEDS our pp back up OEL. Watched the Canes game their PP was brutal. OEL is worth something to one of these teams. I think OEL'S compete level could be a tool in the post season. Possibly Dallas or Florida?
  2. Av's have been lacking in killer instinct in the playoffs so I'm saying they need 6 games.
  3. I would like to see if we could get Paul at less dollars first.
  4. As much as I like Wheels I think 8M cap hit gets us into OEL range for those 2 years. I'd rather be cap flexible than that. I'd think they'd do Poolman for a 5th or 6th round pick.
  5. Not sure if DiP's values high right now, having been passed by Spence.
  6. I think if he is to leave he would do so discreetly, given today's volatile pol climate. It'd be close to a escape status, I think there was a cap of 10,000$ anyone could leave with. He's fast as ever. He outgrew his chubby phase. Many NHL'ers left so he may want to follow suit. His goalie bought himself out the previous year so Diamond may consider that. It's time to lose those old out of shape narratives, catch up.
  7. Yes I'm thinking Abby too, plus we have a lot of middle size lower tier forwards to sort out. As for Hogs I'm hoping he's staying at Coach B's waxing on and waxing off. Getting some of that Boudreau mojo.
  8. I like Poolman, I don't think he was healthy very much last year but after watching Wpg, I think we could trade him back on the cheap. It would work for them because they know him and he had some success there. Plus their D looks terrible. For us it would be a minor cap savings.
  9. Go for 3 ufa's, add Paul, switch Burrs to the 4th line, add Brown and Zadarov on d. The comfort level for our skill guys go up.
  10. Thank you, that answers my query as to whether or not they are a 'win now' team. And also Baby Huggy has arisen as a NHL caliber force, which also helps them and their cap a lot. The added incentive for them is that Myers and Pearson have shown to excel in under playoff pressure. They have the cap room, let's see what happens. NJ was 15.6 in PP %, ranking them near the bottom of the NHL rankings. I would posit that OEL may be another option instead of Myers. Especially because the PP has shown to be very integral in the playoffs.
  11. Petie, Huggins, Hogs, Garland, Hunt. Dries, Highmore, Petan, Dickinson - don't scare anybody. I'd excuse our top skill guys but a couple of the bottom skill guys can be (will be) swapped for a couple of truculent big guys. If we can do it from within it would be cheaper. I would love to see Burroughs as a tough and nasty forechecker (insurance dman) on the 4th line. But there are forwards out there. Depending on their cost. ps that's like 7 guys on our game to game everyday players, 7 guys, who are only or primarily skill players. That is not a balanced line up. The Giants could out hit that group.
  12. Hopefully no one in our division. I wouldn't want to face Miller in Beast Mode in the playoffs.
  13. I generally agree with this. The only way they take this trade if they are in the win now mode.
