Who would you rather the Canucks sign if they go after a big ticket free agent... Erik Karlsson or Sergei Bobrovsky? Mind you, you're only signing one of them. Seems like the media is hyping we'll go hard for one or the other. Karlsson for me would be better than Bobrovsky due to organizational need + my feeling Demko will still develop into something special. But Bobrovsky would solve our goalie woes for years much like Luongo did.

While I don't believe in spending big money on goaltending, I think we need a significant uptick in goaltending if we expect to be considered seriously. Demko is coming off a concussion and DiPietro might be years away. I would like Karlsson, but we do have Hughes coming in who should provide at least the offense side of what Karlsson brings at some point in his career hopefully. If we are bringing in Juolevi soon and other young dmen, it would be nice to have a good safety net behind them to hopefully cover up their rookie mistakes. Perhaps Bobrovsky also leads to Tryamkin making a return as well as an added bonus.

Kind of sick seeing posts hypothesizing that Leipsic as the odd man out when Roussel enters the lineup. The guy had 9 points in 14 games when he got here last season and he's stood out in a good way this preseason/first game of the season. Don't see him going anywhere. Granlund on the other hand... boy have the mighty fallen.

Honestly, I want Schaller waived. But I just see Granlund being the odd man out despite also being solid like Leipsic. Best scenario would be to waive Biega since he's probably not going to get claimed and the Utica Comets could use a vet anchoring the blueline. But like others have posted, a guy could get injured in the next game or two meaning all this is moot. Just seems like Roussel will be back within the week if he's traveling with the team...

why so twisted about leipsic or granlund
these are not the key players on the team
they are more of the fringe element
removing either or someone else of their calibre in the bottom 6
will not really disrupt the team
just some fans who have a special attachment to certain fringe players
coach can sit leipsic, granlund, or virtanen
will not really impact the line up or game very much

If you were CBJ and MTL would you do a deal that's basically Carey Price for Sergei Bobrovsky (who signs an extension) + 2nd round pick + B prospect?
Was thinking about this. MTL is "rebuilding" and has extra cap. CBJ wants to keep its playoff streak alive. Bobrovsky wants money and Price wants to win. Feels like a real fit especially if the Canadiens can extract some futures from CBJ.
Thoughts?
