DeBrusk - Miller - Boeser

Who's left for the top 4 spot on D?

We got our top 4 we need a bottom pair guy, soucey and Myers were one of the best middle pairs in the league last year lol

People on here are nuts. They want to build the team on UFA day but with short deals at good AAV. That is not how UFA days work. 
‘You are lucky when you are uncomfortable with just one of term or AAV. Usually on UFA day you get screwed on both. 
As Burkie always says, UFA day and deadline are when GMs make the majority of their mistakes. 

You overspend for top talent. We overspend for meh. 

[Jetliner]

adding some much needed Canadian juice into the lineup. Win win win

[EB43]

Anyone got a cap update?? What do we have left?

Solid core and a lot of depth wins cups. I don't mind the moves so far today, we still have over 5 million including LTIR to work with.

[DrJockitch]

Okay so power forward for top 6 was a desperate need. Some more grit and depth up front. 
‘Need a D or 2 before too far into season. Fobort doesn’t excite especially if pairing with Juulsen, need someone a bit more dynamic.

Have no fear forbort is here!

[Petey O]

So far the only signings I like are Sherwood and Heinen. Debrusk is nauseating. Forbort is 'meh'.

I'm not sure how I feel about Debrusk at 5.5, but we know the cap is going up so it will look fine for a guy that will score.  I am very glad we didn't sign anybody over 30 to a long term contract.  I think this restraint will pay off long term.

 

What lines did Debrusk play on , do you know ?

Myers would be better being sheltered on the 3rd pairing as he ages though. Perhaps Kylington is en route to Vancouver??

Seems to me the top talent went where they wanted to and mostly at relatively fair deals. It is the bad teams overspending. 
For our team with Tocchet as the coach and short at least one PF to make Tocchet’s system work, who was a better pickup for cheaper that wanted to come here?

[Karma-Kazi44]

Ok but who is going to play with Petey? Debrusk

[Nucker67]

Not bad..

 

Miller - Boeser

DeBrusk - Pettersson

 

I wonder if Allvin is also working on a trade to bring in another winger for Petey. 

[Locke Lamora]

I know Debrusk’s career has been plagued by inconsistency at times…but I really think Tocchet could do wonders for his game.

[Ghostsof1915]

We have $2.79+ in Cap left. Closer to $5.2 with LTIR.

[Integra250]

We need another legit defensemen because this scares me:

 

Hughes - Hronek

Soucy - Myers

Forbort - Juulsen

As he ages willander steps in and as we all hope maybe even compete for that top pair and push hronek down

So Debrusk for $5.5 or Sean Monahan for $5.5? Which is better?

DeBrusk for sure

[Rusty Shackleford]

Kylington please.  We need defense.

[DrJockitch]

Still need a second pairing right D so we can manage Myers chaos better.
