Your interest level has no bearing on how right/wrong you are. A league minimum contract has absolutely no effect on any other signings regardless of how you interpret it. There are plenty of sources that can break down why in an easy to understand way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply pointing out that what you said is irrelevant to what is true. Though perhaps you aren’t being entirely honest? If it was truly “falling on deaf disinterested ears” I doubt you would have so many posts in the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth on the RHD side is always an issue. It's the most difficult position to fill IMO. As of now, we have: Hronek Juulsen Friedman Mcward Johansson Woo Felton We're seriously missing another guy capable of 18 to 19min per night. Myers is the obvious choice given how much of a discount he would likely give us. Personally, if Zadorov doesn't re-sign, I'd spend the money and a bit more to lock in another true top 4 RHD instead of finding another LHD replacement. It's an unusual UFA year where there are a lot of RHD available. Now is the time to lock another one in if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you listen to what Alvin said, and take him at his word, regarding how he was going to do the signings. ------------------ I'm thinking Alvin kind of messed up with his english/wording--- but have no issues with you pointing at what he said. If he did in fact mean he was doing this in order of importance, one could think that perhaps the rest of the unfilled spots are going to be taken care of in free agency.--which would be scary as F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this signing affect negotiations with other UFAs?

This year's UFA crop is a bit of a unicorn when it comes to available RHD, It would make sense to try and sign someone even on a short term deal...If we have the space.

steviewonder20 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 1 hour ago, tas said: sure. it's just the opposite of how allvin has twice now stated he was approaching things. we'll see when zadorov signs on the dotted line. Even if Zads doesn’t sign, it will have had fuck-all to do with signing a 8, 9, 10 depth D. Zero, nada. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 It looks like we will be running a similar defence to last year. Hughes - Hronek Soucy - - Friedman - Juulsen I think we fill those remaining spots with Zadorov, Myers and Hakanpaa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the left side, we have: Hughes Soucy Brisebois Wolanin Hirose DPetey Kurdryavtsev Mynio Cicek We could use another experienced LHD, but it's not as urgent as a RHD to slot in behind Hronek. We have Hughes and Soucy on the left side capable of top 4 minutes. Zadorov is a luxury as it pushes Soucy down a slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Myers Is definitely a serviceable top 4 group, but I'd say that if we ran Soucy-Myers as a 2nd pair, the 3rd pair should be equally capable to split the minutes more evenly. Dillon-Hakanpaa would be a reasonable pair that would probably cost $6M to $6.5M combined. Zadorov-Juulsen would be another. Zadorov-Hakanpaa would be most expensive, but probably most effective.
