DeNiro Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 2 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: I'd rather Toffoli than sign Tanev to a big contract Me too. This team needs depth scoring. Spending cap on maintaining the status quo just means more nights of Markstrom standing on his head. Need to switch up the formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL - Hughes Edler - Myers OJ/Rathbone - Tanev I like it. I like it a lot. I said this earlier in the thread also. Expose Myers and hope he gets taken for expansion and have Tryamkin replace him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screw Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Didn't see this coming. Does not mean he won't sign if JB sorts out cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucksfollower1983 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I blame LE. If he had lived up to his contract we would never have needed TT to begin with. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekky Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Unloading cap should be top priority mainly for getting ready to resign Petterson and Hughes signing Toffoli might not help with that especially if he can't unload any of those bad contracts. I didn't like the Eriksson signing at all but it will be interesting to see what happens going forward though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would keep OEL and Hughes on separate pairings but overall big improvements to our D-core and OJ/Rathbone will play with a good player on the 3rd pairing guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) 5 minutes ago, The Lock said: Crosby and Malkin have had a carousel of wingers and they won multiple cups. Kunitz, Dupois, Hornqvist, Neal, Iginla, Kessel, Guentzel, Sheary, exc. A carousel of haves, not have-nots. 6 minutes ago, The Lock said: I don't. We need defense. Otherwise, we'll struggle with being a contender as we won't have the backend support contenders generally have. I like that they are targetting OEL. If they can make it work financially thats better than Tanev, then if they could afford Toffoli I would do that & find a RD that gets squeezed. Ultimately I think both Tanev & Toffoli walk.

They're only perceived as "haves" because they're not on this team in my opinion. Plus, I'm talking the carousel moving forward, not the past when we were in transition and just a bad team. lol If we get OEL, I doubt it even more that we'd get Toffoli.

Bure_Pavel Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 For puck sakes, was hoping he would be the one we keep out of Marky, Tanev, and Toffoli. OEL, Demko, and Toffoli would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Pretty high price to pay for a top 6 that ended up playing for us for less than 25 games? A bad gamble at the time just to try and make the playoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
