Popular Post Jester13 Posted July 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2021 - Nothing to report, trade-wise (working on it) - Waiting on buyouts, early next week - Working on some things, not sure what they can accomplish, time will tell, working on a bunch of different things, hard in flat cap, will continue to look at all options, if it makes sense then they'll look to do it - Priority list: add a couple top 9 forwards, added Dickie, add one more if they can (trade or FA), continue to build defence - Schmidt: part of our team/group, teams have reached out, he's a top 4 guy, if it makes sense they'll look at it, if not, he'll be back, interest is fairly high - Hamonic: talked to him a couple of days ago, love to have him back, wait and see with the draft to see where we're at, would like to have him back - Negotiations with Francis: had convos with Ron, you know, you know, you know, a couple of days before they decided to take Lind. Great opportunity for him. - Holtby: lots of calls on lots of our players, doesn't sound promising (my words) - Buyouts: how many we use depends on what happens in the next few days (maybe Sunday) - Jake: can't talk about the on-going investigation - Draft: part with it? Have to get a good young player back that can be part of our team long-term, looking at some options and considering, working the phones, make a decision at the draft tomorrow - Q: Positional need if we use the pick? A: BPA. Lots of good players at #9 - Petey and Quinn: good convos with them the last couple of weeks: continuing to work out what makes sense for both sides. Continue to work on them - Heiskanen affect Quinn? 8 year deal, looking at more mid-range as far as term - Q: Petey offer sheet? A: Will match any offer sheet. - You know, you know, you know - Q: Why is Dickie the guy? A: Can play Centre as the 3rd or wing, speed, untapped offensive potential with him, can play against top lines - Q: How will opening night roster look? A: Well, you know, FA still to come, want to add depth to forward and defence, don't know exactly how it'll look, need to see how the next couple of weeks pan out - Q: Any added pressure now that Seattle is here? A: No, exciting that they're joining, good rivalry moving forward 11 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the season to be doing much because of that. No big deal. Our core are years away from turning 30. Wait a season when the deadweight contracts expire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what age, according to Benning, is young? Bo is 26. He’s moving forward with our team. Rhino is 26 too. Is he young in Benning’s world? Rin Tool needed to pin Benning down to an actual age. If we trade 9OA for a 26 year old Rhino, is that a young guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 If they can't move out cap space then they aren't making many deals or signings. Next year will be a lot different. They may not be able to do much at all. He said earlier that they would not be in on any big name players. Role type players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply don't have the cap space for a 9th overall to get traded for a player not on a second deal that's team friendly or for a guy like Reinhardt plus one of LE, Myers, Schmidt, EP, BB or QHs out. Schmidt and Myers aren't going anywhere. LE is a pipe dream. Leaves 3 out of 4 untouchable guys (Demko is the other) and Miller. Might be boring but pretty sure we keep our 9th tomorrow. That's ok!
