If we add a Pesce or similar this summer, my head might explode. We've needed these shutdown types for so long now. The game looks so different with those types out there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean can you imagine.... Hughes, Pesce Cole, Hronek Soucy, Bear Hirose, McWard D-Petey, Woo Brisebois, Johansson That's a SOLID organizational D group.

I have heard excuses that he was the reason why they got demolished 8-1 They will struggle on the road without a last line change throughout the season. 8-1 trashing is not a good sign even with him. The Oilers is one line show with a good 2nd line if McDavid/Drasi are separated. They'll probably get a good show at home with last line change for match-up game.

We were playing plugs on our last PPs. Really hope we find a way to shut him down again two games in a row. One blow-out, they use their sloppy play as an excuse, but two tight defensive wins and suddenly we're a problem to deal with and will get a lot more respect. We did pull Demko and put backup in....and no one knew why, otherwise RT wouldnt of clarified why he did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hughes-Hronek can do what they did in that game, it would be a crime to ever split them 5v5 Cole-Myers looked like a top-4 pairing too, no issues with them together, especially if Myers re-signs at 2.5 or thereabouts Soucy-Bear sounds pretty good too then I’d go spend some $ to get a #7 that also belongs in the nhl and we’re pretty well set until some of the bajillion d-men we drafted this year can join the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we traded Garland for an expiring contract this year (eg. Fabbro), we could possibly sign both Pesce and Cole in UFA. Also throw in Trenin for good measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only cap compliant after our first game and could officially put Poolman on LTIR. That was my point and I had like 10 idiots tell me I was wrong.

KingRaj91 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Probably a dumb question but with the OEL $4M retention kicking in I think next year or the year after, is there a way to trade that hit?

You are wrong… you don’t have to wait until after the first game or be cap compliant after the first game when the season starts to officially put someone on LTIR. You are not allowed to be NON complaint at any time. We didn’t become compliant after the first game You can have someone on LTIR on your initial submitter roster and already have them backfilled. LTIR and backfill timing is just a matter of maximizing the overage Edited October 14, 2023 by Provost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
