Making it look easy compared to how JB struggled mightily with it. Looking back just 3 or 4 years and seeing the likes of Leivo, Schaller, Boyd, Hawryluk, and the triumvirate of Louie, Beagle, and Roussel eating up cap in the bottom six, and seeing the vast difference now is exciting and gives hope that we're finally out of the doldrums and getting ready for the war toward the SC 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making it look easy compared to how JB struggled mightily with it. It definitely is mirroring what Gillis did a bit. A number of core pieces in place, but completely rebuilt the bottom 6 and retooled the defense. This defense corps still needs a bit more work but the bottom 6 is certainly looking miles better and Aman looks he should be able to fill in for Blueger next year if we don't re-sign him (though I'd love to have both). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Aman played his 75th NHL game last night. Can he still be sent down to Abby without waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 From Capfriendly: https://www.capfriendly.com/waivers-calculator/nils-aman Which would explain the rush to get him to sign his extension - to maximize the chances of him being able to be returned to Abby if needed. Teams are less likely to roll the dice on him if he's a longer-term commitment (ie. 2.75 seasons instead of 0.75 seasons + RFA rights), though the flipside is his contract could also be seen as cost-controlled and worth risking a pickup on, depending on his performance moving forward. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, chances of him going back to Abby are slim to none now, cause if he's on waivers, another team's going to pick him up. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat chance a 23 year old 6'2 defensively responsible center who puts up a point per game in the AHL clears. Signing him to a 2 year extension at an even lower cap hit than his ELC (50k above league min) that concludes with him still being an RFA is far from a deterrent.

Playing him the 2 games was taking a chance in the first place. When Suter comes back, the choice will be to move Aman to the W, or not play him. Sadly, a young guy like Aman requires +++hockey in order to continue his development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We actually have quality bottom 6 guys that don't cost a fortune... Aman, Suter, Blueger, Joshua, Hoglander, Lafferty... We also have guys waiting for their opportunity -- Bains, Karlsson, Podkolzin, etc. What we need to do is get out from Beauvillier's contract. I suspect a TDL deal makes sense for that since he's a pending UFA. I like our top 6 too with Petey, Miller, Kuzmenko, Boeser, Mikheyev, and surprisingly PDG works there. Garland can float up and and down the lineup. You need guys that can do that, so I hope we don't trade him away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Perhaps the intent is to keep Aman up and trade some more expensive players out. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way this makes sense is if PA thinks no NHL club will bite at a CAP hit of $825K? Either that or he is close to a trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they think Suter will be out for a much longer stint, it doesn't make much sense. I don't even see how they can bring Kuzy back without moving a player off the current roster. Something must be developing on the trade market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) This is a nice little insurance policy after we let Beau go and possibly trade Garland. It’s also going to be tough to keep both Joshua and Lafferty. Depth is going to be one of the hardest things to keep as Petey and Hronek come into bigger contracts, the OEL buyout starts to sting and we try to upgrade the back end. Not to be a downer just pointing out that Aman could be worth that contract and more very soon as some spots open up.

The Duke Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Like I said in my previous post, I doubt this heralds anything imminent - you don’t need Carnac to see we’ll need cheap bodies in the bottom 6 next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to almost all of this, but PDG is a scratch and may have had his moment on the top lines; I suspect he is still hurting, he's been taking a beating. Personally, I would really like to see Höglander moved up. Edited November 28, 2023 by Goal_thecup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
