Not that different than other GMs who built cup winners have inherited. The key may very well come down to acquiring a top 4 D men. There will be other smaller things like upgrading toughness and speed but the top 4 will be key to winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not too far off. Just need to build the pieces around them the next few yrs. The young guys need to keep progressing too (Podz, Hoagy, Rathbone etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are either signed long term or going to be signed long term. Boeser has yet to prove he deserves a long term big money deal. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I think Dermott is going to have a good year. Mostly because KB3 is so high on him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the tone of new mngt; firm but fair and willing to discuss with the players/their agents. PA said something about/like different paths to get there for different players (meaning Miller, now Bo) but the object is to get a deal. They hung onto Boeser even though they had to overpay a bit; but we needed to keep our good players to ice a good team this year. As well as Boeser, he did not include OEL, who is very good, and commands a pretty high salary (but not compared to league value imo). I think we still need guys like these guys, and Pearson too, to ice a pro team that can stand the rigor, and put the puck in the net. The vets aren't the shiny new stars and superstars, but come playoffs, they carry the day, and lead the kids, protecting and letting them get their noses bloody too. Even with Miller, Bo is still the captain of this team, and he's gonna lead, like Mils, and sign an 8 year team friendly deal and expect the up and comers to do the same. Look at capfriendly.com, the board already looks a lot better, and once Bo is signed, it will be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bare bones core as discussed before the draft was Demko (named first each time the subject comes up), Hughes, and Pettersson. Now he's adding Horvat as a sign that they are motivated to sign him. Also, Miller as he was just signed will have the highest AAV when his new contract takes effect. I agree with you about Boeser. To date, he has put up good numbers but he is being paid and considered to be core by many because of his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland maybe, but I don't think we are going to sign-and-trade anybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think so. I don't think the door is closed at all for Boeser to become a core piece but he's going to have to step up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
