Why not get an asset in a trade and then sign him back cheap as a ufa
- A_SteamingLombardi

Could be a good plan at next year's TDL. Maybe grab a 1st. I know Benning likes the 2016 draft

Very similar to Monahan maturity wise.
- whipper334

Both seem like future captain material. Though between Monahan and Bennett I don't know who to bet on

Both teams got excellent building blocks

Which one?

Bennett? Monahan? Gaudreau? Giordano? Brodie?

Bieksa on the other hand...

Has turned into an idiot!

Wouldn't you take any of them on your team? I am not sure what team you cheer for this week , but still ,I am sure they would fit on any of your teams

Which one?

Bennett? Monahan? Gaudreau? Giordano? Brodie?

Monohan as the sexy pick but Giordano as the right one...with 'A's going to Hudler and Dennis Wideman

This is how I've been picturing you since the Sbisa signing

He looks like he can and has been one of our best players in the playoffs with limited ice time. Will have to reevaluate when we get there but I agree with you at this point

My only complaint about Horvat is that he is not overly physical. Maybe that will come, or maybe that's just not a part of his game, but we could really use it right about now.

Giordano might just have the most cap-friendly contract in the league considering his contribution to the flames.

2011-12: $4.6 M
2012-13: $3.5 M
2013-14: $4 M
2014-15: $4 M
2015-16: $4 M

That's Sbisa money.

I watched a Flame D try to lay a nice check on Bo and he bounced right off. I feel Bo will be just fine

I don't really think he needs it. His game is more about being in position and capitalizing on opponents' mistakes. I wouldn't complain if he started throwing his weight around though

There's some really awesome deals to be had by gambling a bit it seems. Sometimes you win sometimes you don't but if you do it looks (frank)ing awesome.
Roman Josi put up 55 points this year making 3 million. They have him locked up til 2020 with an AAV of $4m

I feel the same, but he's smart enough to pick his spots and a big enough body to do some damage. If he never develops that part if his game he will still be a great player, but we have so many non physical players already.

I think with the way we are drafting it won't be an issue. Lots of guys with mean streaks in the pipeline

Sbisa was a first round pick.

Anyone see Etem's goal v WPG?

Slick moves.

I guarantee we won't be getting similar upside with Sbisa. Let's face it, at this point we just seem happy with him when he doesn't (frank) up.

And that (frank)ing sucks. So sick of mediocrity.

A Norris candidate or a player who, according to Nucker's numbers, is statistically one of the worst players in the league? I'll have to think about it.
