Hairy Kneel Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm glad we got rid of Rafferty, Teves, and Chatfield, what a waste of time that crew was. I hope we resign Ham and grab us Hakpapa or Nemeth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did every thing asked of him in the AHL comes up here takes maky a half dozen shift and his career with Vcr is over. There's more to this story. Think for instance how long they percevered with Virtanen or even Hawryluk or Michaelis. Rafferty one game half a dozen shifts ???? I'm missing some thing, maybe he told Green where to go Any way I suspect he'll find a job else where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice that, but stage fright is not exclusive to Rafferty and I did see him play live in the two games when he was signed as a FA and his skill simply jumped off the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) It's not any of these young defenseman in particular but the style of defenseman that we need. We've got tons of skill guys. We need a couple of crease clearers, some bodies with toughness that adds a deterrent to those parties interested in face washing our young skill guys. Especially in the playoffs. Let's go off the board as well. Ask our European scouts to send us a couple of walk ons for training camp. 6'4" 220 lb minimum Edited July 27, 2021 by Hairy Kneel 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There could still be some cap issues down the road, especially with Boeser being a RFA next year. What are the chances they trade Brock? or Miller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGT68 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 We are buying out Holtby and did not sign Kielly. Appears we will need to fill out the goaltending depth now. I have no issue running Demko and Dipietro if those are the best two goalies. But Abby needs goalies and we need injury back up. I know we have a couple more but I dont really see any NHL injury replacement or competition for Dipietro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment I think Miller is most likely gone if we can't make things work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 What about just re-signing Edler, and Schenn? Ekman-Larsson - Myers Hughes - Schenn Edler - Schmidt* Juolevi Rathbone * If they can't trade Schmidt Edler and OEL might know each other well?

Right now there is not much to fear for any offensive player coming into our D zone. We need to change that so that the opposition know they are going to have to pay a price. Edler always played a hard game but he's way too slow now. Hamonic is feisty, but we need at least one more big body 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get him for 3.5, I'd do that immediately. Hughes needs a guy like Savard keeping things secure back there, and offering a bit of deterrent for anyone who wishes to take liberties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Virtanen = upgraded via Garland Schmidt = upgraded via OEL (only 1m difference) Beagle = upgraded via Dickenson Roussel = replaced by Highmore Holtby = replaced by...?? TBD Eriksson = thank god - he's gone Edler = TBD maybe Schenn?? All in all. A tidy bit of work. Made some serious upgrades and removed some inneffiecent contracts well replacing them with younger, cheaper, and better pieces. Hard to hate this new and nimble Jim. Trader Jim brought his hard hat. Great work this far Jim! Now let's not overpay in the Ufa market and let's tie this up with a bow with the Petey / Hughes signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also expecting our systems to change with Shaw here. Not a bad roster, can make a splash in the pacific for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I like our forward group a LOT (likely a top 10 forward group in the league), I’m a little concerned about the defense. Poolman and Schenn are 6th/7th dmen from what I understand while Myers and Hamonic are #4’s. Will OEL be able to find his form from 3-4 years ago? Will Hughes be able to take a leap in his defensive play? I think our defense still has a number of questions. Hopefully, Shaw will be able to work his magic.

highwayman3 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 There is only one remaining move - somehow swapping out Tyler Myers for Connor Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
