Boedker and Ladd
- Retinalz

Boedker yes, Ladd no.

Boedker yes, Ladd no.

I think Ladd would play well with Sutter and either Baerschi or Rodin. Ladd 6x3 would be perfect. Boedker 5x5.
Edit, then Burrows hurts his ankle in preseason and goes on LTIR for the season.

Ladd won't sign for 6x3. No chance.

Unless it's $6 mil for 3 years is what he was talking about

That's what I assumed and I feel Ladd wI'll be looking for a final contract that takes him to retirement or close to it. Minimum 5 years I bet.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

- WhatTheNuck

the longer some of these players wait, the more reasonable contract expectations become...

I always had issues with Hall.
1st i'd have picked Seguin a C over him.
2nd his defence bites.
3rd his reckless style makes me believe injuries will add up.
4th idk no why PC was so desparate to get Larsson.
5th a different package to Nashville coulda maybe been done.

Wouldnt mind if canucks get Brett Connolly.
- SRam19

Why? No room for a project or experiment such as him IMO

I don't see that as a problem. I am a LW with a right handed shot. Works for me.

Erikkson is my favorite for the top line right handed shooter they need.

Brandon Pirri would be a great versatile guy who can slot into any forward position.
- Vanoxy

I like that tandem or Martin if Pirri not to be had.
Martin at maybe 3/2.5m max

Heard Bob Murray was working to change Kevin Bieksa's no-move clause. Currently him, Vatanen & Lindholm are 3 d-men protected July 1 #Ducks

Loui Eriksonn plays right wing but he is a left handed shot.
- bryndog

Helps shooting angles for scoring👍
Poor for passing though.

3rd is what I liked about him most.

Bieksa for Sbisa.

- thundachunk

His wide stance is great & net driving also but is an accident waiting to happen as well.

I see your points but as reckless as he is, he gets it done. Can't pick a guy apart for the dynamic edge that makes him successful.

I do find it ironic that minutes after the Hall trade, 2 #1 Defencemen get dealt, both of which would be right at the top of Edmontond wish list.

As a team "rebuilding" there should be tons of room for a player like him. It also fits Benning's MO - A under achieving first rounder that still could have potential IE Baertschi and Etem.

But as you have stated, we already have 2 of them. And Benning wants to make playoffs.

Free agents, Waivers and not coming back.

Like it or not...

Signed Ryan Miller to a 3-year $18 million contract. I know I am not on the same level as most of you but this is one of Bennings I liked. Not the term the goalie. JB wasn't afraid to go out make a statement and get the best goalie off the market. This goes to show how important goaltending is in this league. Without Miller we would have done a lot worse. This is a LikeIt for me.

Signed Radim Vrbata to a 2-year, $10 million deal. I wasn't really a Vrbata fan and when the signing happened I was like Meh but he went on to do very well through one season and was looking promising. Year 2 was a disaster but the fault does not lie with Benny. Good signing and shows we can still attract big name free agents much like Miller. This is a LikeIt for me as well. Although I don't want to revisit it again.

Claimed Brandon McMillan off waivers from Arizona Coyotes. Nothing move.

Released Tom Sestito. Who?

Signed Yannick Weber who is also not being signed again. Gross every game I went to I made known my dislike of Weber. This is a NotLike for me but JB did get him for relatively decent contract. I just am not a Weber fan.

Signed Matt Bartkowski to a 1-year, $1,750,000 contract. See above. Also what else did we have in waiting. Hard to fault a guy for trying to fill a need. His Mom was pretty cool. NotLike

Signed Adam Cracknell to a 1-year, $575,000 contract. Cracknell had signed on a tryout basis. I liked this one a depth 4th line Veteran who made the most of his time. He was great with the young guys coming in. This is a LikeIt for me

Waived Linden Vey and not re signing him It was worth a try Vey had more than enough chances to succeed from the coach and management, I can't fault Jim for letting him walk for nothing but I will. LikeIt

Alex Biega was a good signing depth move and Beiga earned it. LikeIt

The Maple Leafs signed Corrado. I had high hopes a few seasons ago for Corrado but sometimes this happens. This was a mistake on JB's part but the leafs looked like even more of an a$$hole because of their choice to let him ride pine.

Placed Chris Higgins on waivers and bought out. I like Higgins but he lost a step and business is business. At least being bought out it gives him a chance to try out the market.

Signed free agent Michael Zalewski to a 1-year, $575,000 contract. Good Kid. Like this one.

Waived Brandon Prust. I don't think he got a fair shake after his injury. This one bothers me because I think he fit well at times but never really panned out.

Hamhuis. He was my favourite defence man at times. He was injured a lot last season and had a real tough go. As he said the game is fluid. Not hard feelings if nothing works out. Jim handled this well and he didn't. Neither party was happy at the deadline but it is what it is.

Etem the most recent RFA. I think he is Lazy and inconsistent but JB got a hell of a deal for him to show his stuff. LikeIt for the Cap hit

Demko, Stecher, Rodin, Brisboise. All thumbs up for me. LikeIt

I hope he gets Pedan signed up.

Not returning Vey, Weber, Bartowski, Prust, Cracknell, Higgins, Hamhuis and possibly Burrows. All and all Jim did his best with what he had to work with could he have done better maybe.

This team is going to have some freshness and I like it.

Every team should have that goal. Thats the difference between winning and losing. I know on paper we may not have the best team but winning should always be your goal. Losing sucks.

Half the players on this team are projects or experiments, what's wrong with one more?
