Junkyard Dog Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Simply put we win Bedard. How do you shift the team’s direction? Do you shift the team’s direction? What moves to you try to make? Do you make any moves? What I would do would be to replicate what we’ve already done with the Horvat trade but with a Miller trade. Also use the return to clear cap(which will probably prove costly). Another Hronek type but maybe a Crouse as we clear cap? Use the free’d up cap to add multiple pieces, especially at D. Could also re-sign Beauv as well. Mainly to build a long-term contender that can compete now and moving forward centring around Bedard. All within the realm of a retool. But enough of my ideas. What are yours? What would you do if we won Bedard? Share, discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I've resigned myself to being out of the running for him by seasons end. If management were interested in trying to get him, they would have kept Bruce and unloaded more contracts at the TDL... 2 3 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are gonna try to take shots at lil conor, he needs a wingman with a blend of high end skill and a bad temper. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VegasCanuck Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 If we win the NHL Draft Lottery, my next move is to run to Costco and clean them out of Toilet Paper.

-AJ- Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Honestly, I think we just sit tight and probably see if Bedard can work as a 2C replacement for Horvat. Simply throwing him into our roster would do wonders. That said, he adds to what is already a strength of ours--offense, so maybe look to make more Hronek-like moves, moving out a forward for defensemen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I look at Miller, and what the Horvat trade brought us, and think perhaps we can do something similar there which IMO would help us round out the roster in the short and long-term like the Horvat trade has. The return might even help us clear more cap out which could help us add as well. I think though, with Bedard, there’s a bunch of solid routes we could go. This is just one of them I prefer.

I'd say not too much changes other than what AJ suggests here. Continue moving out inefficient / ill-fitting cap and reallocate money to defensive defensemen. Maybe Bedard's presence makes it extra logical to move both Garland and Boeser. If anything, it probably makes management more aggressive in clearing cap sooner than later. Does it suddenly make an OEL + future 1st cap dump make sense so we maximize Bedard's ELC time? Not that I'm advocating for that; just speculating how Allvin would respond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Wouldn't move Miller as there are questions about Bedard as a C, don't think he will be one right away. Don't think I'd do much different either way, we to focus on improving the team in any way we can that will be sustainable for 5+ years. So it shouldn't force short sighted moves but it would be a huge boost obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) If we're being serious though I'm with you on the Miller bit. This team's strength would likely continue to be it's offense even without Miller, moreso if Hronek can give Hughes some back up offensively from the back end. Circle back round to Pittsburgh and trade him for futures, rumour has it we wanted a young center in return for Miller, Bedard is one. Go into next season with something along the lines of the following. Kuzmenko - Pettersson - Beauvillier Mikheyev - Bedard - Boeser Either use said futures and shop for upgrades at D via UFA with some of the cap space moving Millers frees up or flip them to another team to either move OEL or bring in back up for Hughes, OEL, and Hronek. Work to find ourselves a solid two-way 3C. Edited March 7, 2023 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
