I think Bear would be a fine 'cheap' depth blueliner for at least a couple years. I hope we sign him when he is ready to come back to the ice on a cheap 2 year deal: half as cheap in year one, as he will only be on the cap for half the season, and then reliable and cheap in year two. But I like him and he is as good as any other 6th/7th dman we have or could get. I think they will sign Bear to a show me contract when he's recovered from his injury. If they can move Myers, he would be a good replacement on the right side. I think this lineup allows Quinn to have less toi, when needed.

I can see Petey with Suter and Suter would take the faceoffs. Blueger and Mikheyev should be the #1 unit. Im sure we will have a few configurations. Miller and Petey both will probably kill penalties at times. Depending on minutes, game flow, if they haven't been on the ice. The fact we have viable PK personal and options is huge for our squad. There will be no excuse to be anything less than Mediocre on the PK this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree I think Myers will be trade after his 5 million bonus is paid Sept 2.. New team will have 1 million to pay with cap hit of 6 million.. I think Coyotes, Anaheim or Chicago will be trading for Myers.. Myers would also be a good trade chip at trade deadline big 6'7 RD would be great for a contender on playoff run.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Todays signing really has got me extra excited for training camp and next season. We really will have some awesome camp battles. So excited to see what opening night roster is and how they look together! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure there could be certain situations where they throw them out together down a goal with Hughes or Petey with Mikehyev and Miller with Blueger or Suter etc. Lots of combos / options to work with. Its exciting. I am sue when Hansen comes back to the radio hes gonna be a lot happier with our PK personnel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are screwed cap wise, especially if Pearson returns. Am I missing something? Doesn’t seem like we are too far away from the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Next up, trade for Pesce! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower102 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I wasn't really buying into the Myers to SJ after bonus paid rumours before but since we keep adding and all reports indicate Pearson is going to be ready for camp, I am starting to believe that they have a handshake deal and will be making that move. I would be happy with Myers on the third pairing but if Pearson is ready to go and we aren't having to move out an asset of significance with Myers than I am ok with it assuming we would than sign Bear and run with Juulsen in the spot until Bear is healthy...or we swing for the fences and trade for Pesce. I would rather not trade away Boeser or Garland for the sake of cap space as I think with our forward group, they add a fair amount of value. Boeser will be improved (and actually had decent per game numbers last year) and Garland gives us 3 scoring lines playing with Suter and Podz which is needed in this NHL.

sarjakd Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I am really excited for the season to start. Just too bad that they will be late games here in Toronto . I'll still watch them though! Love this signing and the quiet work that Allvin has done this season has been amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucBourdon28 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Seeing the revamped team I wonder if Ekman-Larsson could've been moved for a 2024 1st-rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeergh Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 So in my opinion we're very much a playoff team now Beau-Petey-Kuz Mikheyev-Miller-Boeser Garland-Suter-Hoglander (deceptively good 3rd line) Joshua-Blueger-Studnicka Hughes-Cole Soucy-Hronek Wolanin-Myers Demko Martin Some concerns with Martin but if we give him easy competition it should be ok, plus, the team in front of him is a LOT better than last year defensively Its worth noting that they revamped literally the entire roster and the cost to do all of this was uh.. Bo Horvat. We traded Bo Horvat, used the pieces from the trade to get Hronek, and the rest was built through free agency. We kept all our own futures which is absolutely wild. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, before guns safes were common, those wall hung racks were very common with hunting households. You stored the rifles on the rack, ammo in the drawer. It was a different time for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 2 hours ago, Gawdzukes said: Who knows when he'll be ready. He'll be out of shape and coming off surgery. Let some other team deal with the unknown of Bear. He's not ideal for Hughes and he's not that good. League minimum as depth but I hope we have a better plan for our 1RD. Yeah, I could see a conditioning stint in Abbotsford if he did come back. I see him better than just depth, but not the top 4 some were coining him as being, nor is he what this team truly needs. But depending on the cap requirements, he still may be a viable option when healed, and should be able to step in without the trying out period you can get from looking outside the org. Ultimately, Allvin needs to get Huggy his 1b. TDL or next offseason is fine, but it must happen for this team to be fully deadly. It's really the last piece, from what I can see. I'm really glad (and a little surprised due to cap issues) we added Suter. I wasn't comfortable with what we had, and I'm sorry, but I'm not sold on Aman whatsoever. Can't say he adds the size this team could use, but he does have some skills. Dunno guys. This is shaping up to be a pretty properly built team. Funny enough, most of the base was Bennings work. And for all his faults, he will never get that credit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
