How much did Pouliot cost? And how did Botterill get him?
- sbroads24


He drafted him in the 5th round - most 5th round draftees benefit from great play by 90

WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM

I’ve done this before
We can sign Tavares, PLUS keep Kane

What’s weird is everyone hates Kane because he only scored 30 goals once. He has been on a 30 goal pace other times but due to injuries he never got there. Crucified for it.

Jack has never scored more then 57 pts in a season, he has been on pace for more but also due to injuries never got there.

Just wondering why some can’t call Kane a 30 goal scorer but can call Eichel a 90 point guy, when he’s never been close.

Just something to ponder...

- Fattony1187



Nobody called Eichel a 90 pt guy except maybe grebe. But Eichel is the guy who makes those around him better, he's proven that. Kane, is really one dimensional, he accepts a lot of passes, shoots most wide, and some, sometimes go in. When have you ever said, "Wow! what a pass by Kane?" It's never happened, because he's not a great hockey player. He's a strong hockey player, a power forward, who can bully his way into getting some goals. He's not franchise, he can be replaced for a lot less than 7.5M

Bonehead play by Risto on that PP. But does Lehner ever make a breakaway save? He needs to bail his team out in a situation like that.

Bite me

Because I’m assuming your response would be that i didn’t “fix” the defense,
I signed Carlson at 7mil instead of Kane

Added Guhle, Mittelstadt, Nylander & Svechnikov all on rookie deals

And that still with Moulson buried (counting 4mil against the Cap), maybe tradable?
Probably not

BUT
It’s been said on here that we could move Bogo
So there’s an extra 5mil

And Pommer is off after next year,
that’s another 5.6

It’s all doable


EDIT
i forgot the goalies

Trade Bogo for a 6th, that’s 5mil in space
Ullmark costs a mil
Still room to sign Lehner at 4-4.5mil
Or just move on & get a cheaper UFA goalie to back up Ullmark

I much rather over pay a good player like oreilly or Eichel then over pay an average player like Moulson or okposo. Those are the ones that get your cap killed.
- Fattony1187


Agree
Moulson, Gorges, etc

Those are the ones that kill us
But they’re gone soon
And that opens up $$$ to make moves & give the kids raises when they’re due

How?

I’m at 79mil next year
The Cap will be 80-82mil

-5 for Bogo

That’s 74

Add 1mil for Ullmark
Add 1mil for Nelson (to replace Bogo)

Now we are at 76 mil

That’s either 4mil for Lehner
Or some other goalie


Addition & subtraction isn’t that tough sir

My bad for not putting in the goalies at first...

But i thought that trading Bogosian cleared all that up

Both Homie & 89 have said we can move him for a late round pick,
so I’m assuming it wouldn’t be an issue

He trades Beaulieu, Girgs, and Larson for picks, has no Goalies, and is short a skater.

He said we have the room, we don't. Having the room doesn't mean it takes half a dozen moves to get there.

No one is taking Bogo at this point. Have to buy out.

Or just keep him, because what the hell ever at this point

Had one great set up to Wilson in the slot - who whiffed.

Moved the puck with real pace a few times.

But mostly meh. We took a lot of penalties.

That was last summer, I doubt anyone touches that deal with 10 foot pole now. I doubt we have a shot at Carlson, we're not in a position to really be after high end ufa's. Not yet anyways
