If we trade Tanev, and don’t resign Edler we save about 9 million off the cap, right? We sign EK to 11 million per season for 7 years, and aren’t we way better off? I'd rather re-sign Edler and keep Tanev. We still need good shut-down guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that ?Edler and ?Tanev are still really good, but EK is great. Would EK be too much too soon? We are definitely a playoff team with him. Do we need to wallow at the bottom (top of the draft) for a couple more years still? See, I don’t think we do, providing we have EK. He could be like Chara was (is still) to the Bruins.

We get to talk hockey, and the Canucks. I tried making a thread, but couldn’t figure out how to do it right. As for Matt Duchene. He’s a piece of monkey poop, and I am confident JB has zero interest. Now Mark Stone is another issue. That guy is a real hockey player. Him, I’d want, but only as a UFA signing. JB might make a trade this TDL, but it certainly will not be for a rental. If JB gives up future assists for a help us now guy, I will personally ride my scooter over his feet, and call him bad names, like @TheGuardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some toughness, leadership, and scoring ability. Can also play both wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, you start fear mongering about something that has zero traction...seems productive. You must have missed all of his previous threads. It’s kindof his thing.

I too worry to the point of pulling out my fur, that our owner is going to tell JB to get him playoff revenues. Nobody wants a patchy Alien.

I like Stone a lot, but he's going to be getting paid. Would rather save the cap to retain our young studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm with @Alflives . Not that I'm convinced Karlsson would sign here, but you gotta try and if he wants to... You've got Karlsson and that (my awesome CDC people) would be &^@#ing wicked. I think he's the best D man in the game. UFA-wise, I'd love Ferland. @King Heffy's pick of Simmonds would be fine too. Somebody with some weight to their game for our top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember he is a RW tho, so more likely that Boeser and Stone would be on different lines. Something like: Leivo EP Stone Baer Bo Boeser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread should be moved over to "confessions" since its pretty much about @TheGuardian_ talking about his fears. Fearmongering, and bashing Benning is his two core attributes.
