Think more like Okposo IMO. Sedin, Sedin, Okposo/Sutter Baer, Horvat, Sutter/Okposo Etem, Vey, Hansen I thought okposo at first but I would rather see us spend more money on defence. but if we could manage to do both I think okposo would be a good fit.

We should have $15m+ to spend on UFA's depending on further moves. 6'ish for Okposo would still leave us 8+ for D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabner could only score while John Tavares was his linemate. We have the room, I'd go all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okposo would be pretty sick too We should also take next year into consideration as well. Next year we have Burrows, Horvat, Hutton and Markstrom coming off the books. That's about 5.5 million to resign Horvat, Hutton and Markstrom. We need to keep some cap space open for next year as the first wave of youth look for their new contracts.

TheRussianRocket. Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 ^Miller will be off the books too after next season. That's an additional $6m and pretty sure if Markstrom keeps playing the way he is, JB will look at moving Miller out and getting an asset(s) back.

Too bad Miller's contract doesn't expire this summer. I bet Montreal would have paid handsomely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they'd pay more for goal scoring than anything...don't know why they don't trade for 1 or 2 scoring threats. Would really give them the extra push. Have the best goalie in the world. Sound defense. Sound forwards, but just need to score a tad more so they're not always relying on the goalie/defense. Vrbata please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
