From what I'm reading, hes a very upbeat guy, loved by Vegas fans. Can contribute offensively and is solid in his own end. Just some flaws here and there.
Sounds like an upgrade to me.
Hughes - Schmidt
Edler - Myers
Juolevi - Rafferty
I like it.
A bit of an overreaction.
Yeah it sucks we lost our UFA's but Benning obviously has something in the works behind the scenes.
It must good enough to lose Tanev, Marky, and Tofu to free agency.
Let's wait and see what happens.
If we offer Cernak 4.2mil/yr, Tampa won't match it because they're more focused on Sergachev and they will get a 2nd round pick back (which they're missing in 2021).
In my mind, that's a no brainer.
So far this off season is a giant L.
All I can think of now is Benning wants to get younger and needed the cap space for upcoming trades.
Time will tell.
Package Eriksson with Sutter to Ottawa along with a pick/prospect or two since they still need $10M or so to hit the cap floor, then use that freed up space on Pietrangelo.
Canucks have had no intention of signing Stecher and our offer is likely less than other teams.
I don't blame him for signing elsewhere.
We'll see though.
They would want more than that, so we may as well offer sheet, but NYR have the cap to match any offer, so it's kind of pointless.
There's no way they let him go.
