HC20.0 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Interesting. So Markstrom sounds like he'll be on the squad next year. Miller or Lack now will be gone. Also, it sounds like he might move a D or two to recover our second/third picks. Gonna be a suspenseful off season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 With that Ehrhoff point, does it mean that we already have 9 NHL calibre defensemen, or would adding Ehrhoff be 9 NHL calibre defensemen? It's nice to see Baertschi has seemingly earned his spot already on the club next year as his play in the few games he was up here showed he was ready to play in the NHL.

Apple Juice Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Without Ehrhoff Tanev Edler Bieska Hamuis Stanton Weber Sbisa Clendening Corrado Interesting... If we did add Ehrhoff, one or two of Stanton, Weber, Corrado, and Clendening are most certainly gone... Leaving with Tanev, Edler, Bieksa, Hamhuis, Ehrhoff, Sbisa, Clendening/Corrado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 -Virtanen has made plays, been a physical presence and moved from the 4th to the 2nd line (Baertschi-Friesen-Virtanen): Imagine Virtanen with an actual playmaker. -Baertschi is pencilled in for the 2nd/3rd line next year: Good-bye, Higgins? Or just Matthias? -Corrado and Clendening ARE waivers eligible next year: Good-bye, Juice? -Benning is going to have meetings about the future in the next couple of weeks: Please, oh please Come Undone for Chychrun! -Some old, needs to get faster and more physical so they can dicate the pace/style of the game. Benning will be working the phones to try and accomplish this if someone becomes available: Or how about just put in Virtanen? -Mad we lost: Why? All we wanted to do was make the playoffs, right? -Markstrom looks like a young BEN BISHOP (means Lack or Miller is gone IMO): Need upsell here with Matthias leaving. -Mentioned recovering draft picks and young players into the system: "Who wants Linden Vey?"

TOMapleLaughs Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Overall, I'm getting a status quo pretend phase feel here. Have to avoid good draft years at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Stop talking about upcoming mgt meetings. Should lousy deals(Vey, Sbisa) bite him on the azz, will he claim there were 'group' mistakes made? At least Gillis took responsibility for decisions & direction.

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Come on Benning show some recognition to Bo Sang, the guy was a plus 24 and is having a decent playoffs. I'm amazed at how he never mentions Bo-Sang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armada Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Baertchi would be so happy to hear that he's in on the 2nd/3rd line in Benning's mind. Still has to earn it though. However, he's been incredible in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I doubt Erhoff is coming here unless it is a deal that can't be passed up. Trading away Hamhuis/Bieksa to make cap space then bring in Erhoff for the same $$$ is like a slap in the face to guys who have been extremely loyal to the club. Anyways, Clendenning/Corrado should be expected to bring offense to the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
