PistolPete13 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 3 minutes ago, Sell.the.team said: I don't believe our futures odds changed much after we added Lindholm and I doubt they would have changed much if we added Guentz and / or Toff. Of the top three, Florida has the easiest path to the Cup and they gained valuable experience last year. Edmonton might be facing Vegas in round one or if the LAK play them, that series could be a toss up. Vegas might not even make the playoffs. I like Florida’s chances tbh.

I agree a Vegas-Florida final is pretty likely but think we may surprise a few teams if the PP clicks, Demmer is god-like, and our all-stars are operating on all cylinders.

Dizzle Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 11 minutes ago, BC_Hawk said: You don't move Garland; have you seen what happens when you have 3 lines that can drive offense? The Petterson and Miller lines were MIA, and yet having that productive 3rd kept us winning. That and center depth, are a winning formula. We simply need to focus on resigning guys and developing our internal talent. Using ur 25.5m number (I didn't verify), here is the priorities: 1) Hronek at 7.25m/ 7-8yr (ur #) 2) Zadorov at 5m/5-6yr (he isn't signing for 4) 3) Lindholm at 6-6.5m/5year 4) DJ at 3m/2year 5) Cole at 2m/2 year TOTAL: 23.75m Mik-Peterrson-Hogs Podz-Miller-Beoser DJ-Lindholm-Garland Bains/Suter-Raty-PDG/Aman/Karlsson Hughes-Hronek Zad-Cole CS-Juulsen Friedman, Bris, etc Then, hope that Lekkermaki, Willander, D Petterson, etc develop tyo the point that they challenge for a spot in 2025.

Mac Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Highly doubtful you get lindholm for that unless he plays like crap for the rest of the year. And if he does, we don't want him imo. This was in regards to the post saying we could get lindholm for 6-6.5 per. Edited March 9 by Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 1 hour ago, TUSK v2.0 said: Youre making me feel old or forgetful, not sure which. Because Horvat, Demko, Boeser, Petterson, Hughes were all drafted & home grown. to not consider Lekker, Willinger, Podz, Hogz grow up to be "Stars" is short sighted Agree! As I mentioned, hope one of them turns out to be a star and why I'm very content that JR/PA did not throw away more draft picks or get rid of any of those very few potential prospects away - today - just to get a rental.

Pinot Noir Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) 19 minutes ago, 40yrfan said: If I was given 6 month's to live I would agree with this for selfish reasons. This team with its prospects will be a contender for the foreseeable future, and I have faith this management group will do whatever they can to give us our best chance at the Holly grail. If it's not this year we will at least gain valuable playoff experience. That just helps for next year. Team has played really well this year, credit goes to the players and the front office for assembling and restructuring the roster to look like an actual team. Have we overachieved beyond early expectations for this year? No doubt. But that is the reality presently, the moves that management made, the buy in and performance from the players has created a new reality that needs to be capitalized on. Things have fallen into place nicely, it’s not every year that is the case. So considering the new reality, are you suggesting management is simply content to get some playoff experience this year because they lack the belief that more acquisitions would have helped and would’ve been a waste of resources? If so that’s loser thinking. They’ve got a good thing going, a modest move or two to add an extra layer of depth was warranted, apart from the Lindholm and Zad trade. It’s just disappointing to see that they couldn’t position themselves to make a move or two to happen. Edited March 9 by Pinot Noir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Umbrus Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 39 minutes ago, TUSK v2.0 said: For sure, Myers could play forward. As long as we have Defense in place. Myers would be leathal in front of the net, able to reach over defenders and pick the puck. I was thinking that too. Myers does have some offensive talent. He could be our Byfuglin screening the goalie. Sign me up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 1.1 mil in cap space. As PA said any deal would have to have roster player going the other way. Toffoli at 50% retained is 2.2 mil.

It’s just disappointing to see that they couldn’t position themselves to make a move or two to happen. They did their tdl trades early and didn’t buy over priced rentals by giving up our best two prospects or another first. I’m ok with that. If there was a reasonable trade to be made, I have faith they would have done it. I’m sure the off-season will be about a decent winger for Petey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -dlc- Posted March 9 Popular Post Share Posted March 9 I'm perfectly fine with them standing pat. You can mess with team chemistry and timing so the fit has to be right...especially at this point in the season as you're heading into the stretch. I'm glad they killed the Phil idea. Was sad to see Toffoli go to Winnipeg but "it is what it is". We'll be fine without him (just really like him as a team player). 1 1 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cap space and the second was Montreals so a really high 2nd. Y would they want our near dead last 2nd? We would have to given our first to beat that. And then no first for next year.

highandinside Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I'm content with the work this team has done. Messing with the chemistry for another rental may not have given us a better team. Plus we can't really give away more prospects or draft picks. If we brought someone in then we have to move someone out. As it stands we're going to have 7 nhl defenceman once Myers come back one of them will have to sit. At this point I like Juulsen. I almost feel like the team is better with Myers as the 7th defenceman. If we did anything another forward would of been nice but I think we can do damage with the current roster. We're deep down the middle and have great goaltending(Demko can steal a series on his own). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
