That makes life a lot easier for PA Agreed. put him with EP, and go look for a scoring winger with size to fill out the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlar Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 8 minutes ago, DeNiro said: I would make a case that Joshua should move into the top 6 as well if he’s gonna be making 3 mil. He has the skill to play that role. I would prefer that over overpaying someone like Zucker or Duclair. And like you said it makes PAs life easier. He can replace those bottom 6 players with cheaper short term contracts like he did last season. Put that money into a legit winger for Petey. Garland Miller Boeser Joshua Pettersson Lindholm/Guentzel I really like this idea. Joshua will be a cheap 2nd liner and not an overpriced 3rd. This way, we keep our defense intact. Suter can center the third line Edited May 31 by Kevlar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 30 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Let’s not discount Garlands role in his break out season though. Everyone who played with Garland improved. Would he have the same success elsewhere? That’s what he has to ask himself. Garland made him. Joshua will be crap without Garland. Garland makes everyone around him better. I like Joshua but the team can find another cheaper player to play with Garland and it will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Find a way to get Reid Schaefer out of Nashville and sign him to an immediate long term contract with low dollar value. There's our Joshua replacement. $3 million + per year and over term is way to much. Yes he may break out more and he may even have a 50 point season which may not be unreasonable but we know who he is and we see guys like him cash in all the time and two years later are in every please take my player proposal. $2.75 or less or bye bye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suter can center the third line A mix of Suter, Blueger, Hoglander, Podkolzin, Aman, and Raty can fill out the bottom 6. Add another savvy bottom 6 signing. Let’s not forget that we had Mikheyev on the 2nd line most the season. I’m confident that Joshua can match or surpass the impact he made. Add a legit top 6 player to that line and I don’t think Joshua would be out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more important to improve our top 6 than to keep our 3rd liners... Teravainen should be an option. Daniel Sprong would be an under the radar add. He plays a fast, offensive game who doesn't back down physically either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would allow money to maybe even re-sign Lindholm. Suter Miller Boeser Joshua Pettersson Garland Hoglander Lindholm UFA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 1 hour ago, Elias Pettersson said: Joshua was looking to get scratched from the lineup in the preseason. Tocchet saved his career. If he leaves he might end up like Anson Carter... Yup. DJ is a guy Allvin will understand this could happen to. DJ will try for the biggest contract possible. I’m thinking that’s not with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I would love to have Joshua back but, there's decisions to be made around putting up a team capable of winning the cup. Too much on middle 6 guys and you don't have the room to build a balanced lineup. Podkolzin is ready for the NHL and could take his place. I trust this management team to figure it out, they have proven pretty shrewd when it comes to negotiating and finding deals around the league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Joshua was a good player and a nice success story. But can he repeat or improve? Or will he turn into a Justin Bailey or Zack MacEwan? I'm not sure he's worth more than 2 mil a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 1 hour ago, JeremyCuddles said: Our 3rd line was better than our 2nd line. 3mil for Joshua isn't even that bad. Given other 3rd liners are making more. I'd rather let Myers and Zads walk and target a top 6 winger with their cap. Straight back to the days of Hutton, Del Zotto and Stetcher. Can we please avoid destroying a blueline we just finally pieced together please. As for Joshua 3.25 x 3 is just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn't have to if we didn't give contracts to guys like Mikheyev and not to hate on a good player. But Garland should be a 3.5mil player tops. Losing Myers is addition by subtraction as far as I am concerned. Dude looked fine for the playoffs but throughout the regular season dude is a constant headache. Zads wants 6mil, too much. I'd take him back at around 5mil though. Destroying to blueline sounds dramatic, when losing these guys is saving us cap to keep other areas intact or to even improve. Instead of giving Myers 3mil lets find an actual top 4 blueliner for a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys weren't anything special in terms of hockey ability but they do have one important "asset" to our clubs current situation. Cheap cap hits. Having a couple of these "replacement level" players means you can re-sign guys like the big Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
