For Pods to become part of our core he’d need to be a 30+20 Power forward who is a beast on the walks and away from the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in form Brock could score 30+ on that team and they could negotiate down his cap with the lower tax bracket. Could negotiate something around Necas + an add maybe, or one of their many young D. Could even consider a package with Miller too since that is flavour of the week. Seems like it could have potential ? I love Necas. Alot of speed and upside to his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he took the QO, and took the QO again next year, that's 2 years at $7M+ already. Then he hits UFA. He takes the bridge because if he wants to bet on himself and open himself up for a bigger payday. If he thinks he can be a 40 goal player, and improve, you take 3 years and get PAID next contract, especially because by then, the cap will be moving up again....

Isn't it the same thing if he takes his QO? Why bother locking himself in for 3 years to "bet" on himself for a 3 year period when he could simply bet on himself for 1 year and get PAID anyways. 3 years also eats one of his UFA years. I just don't see any logical reason for a bridge deal. It's either long term for the security or else take the QO for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as we established, not the entire team. I have been pushing for a bigger restructuring of the team primarily for this reason, need more Podz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo is fast. His top end speed is very good. He’s not quick. Boeser is both slow and not quick. He needs to lose 10-20 pounds.

He literally went through the entire St. Louis team and scored a highlight reel goal. How can you say he is not fast? He is not Pavel Bure but BO is a very good skater and has great acceleration which was taught to him by his power skating coach... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
