Yup By all means I'm happy to move either Tanev or Edler but we're not signing any first pair UFA's. Some bottom pair or 7/8 D's? Sure, we might grab a UFA. IMO, it's either move Edler and roll with: Sbisa, Tanev Hutton, Gudbranson Tryamkin, Stecher (or some similar mix) Or move Tanev and roll with: Edler, Stecher Hutton, Gudbranson Sbisa, Tryamkin IMO, the only way Juolevi is on the team is if one: he's deemed actually ready (doubtful IMO). Two: we move Hutton on top of one of Edler/Tanev (or Sbisa). Then he's likely be sheltered on the third pair, my guess would be alongside Gudbranson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should keep Tanev, he compliments our puck movers. I'd like to see: UFA Tanev Juolevi Stecher Hutton Gudbranson That's not for a couple years when Juolevi is ready though. Trade the weak link so we can fit Tryamkin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that was a roster for a couple years from now if you had read it. By then we may be in the market for UFA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top-pairing D are about the most costly asset one can acquire, and rarely do they become UFAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 18 minutes ago, b3. said: Is/was OJ supposed to be a true PP defense man? I think he originally said OJ could man the point on the power play, good passer and all that. But OJ is more of an all round D. I think what Benning is talking about is an offensive specialist D. Like Karlsson or Subban. Or the Subban we have and are hoping turns into that guy. i think its pretty obvious he was referencing Liljegren who has the potential to be a true #1 D. Personally thats who I think we should pick this draft if we get the chance and Patrick/Hirshier are gone. a D core of Juolevi-Liljegren Stetcher-Tryamkin Hutton-Guddy In years to come is tantalizing. I think next year we can get that Number 1C, especially since we'll be near the bottom again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady 2 way guy who excels at transitioning the puck and has some offense. He certainly appears to be a more offensively adept version of say Tanev but that doesn't make him an 'offensive' or 'PP' D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHockeyNerds Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Imo dan hamhuis is still a great comparison. In his prime hammer was a top 2 dman who could get around 25 points. With Juolevi, he could push more around 35 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm still hoping onto the hope that Juolevi can be a 40-45 pt dman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Juolevi could probably use another year in the O, and then another season in Utica. Wouldn't say his season is disappointing, but he didn't exactly take the next step which we all expected him to do but that's fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
