Why not ? I think it help us on wing tremendously and klefbom will help out the defense

You're gonna trade Risto's 40p and RORs 60p for two prospects and Klefbom. Brilliant.

Hey Pach, nice write up. You've covered this kid way better than the BN. Almost nothing about him there. The 2-year deal gives me more faith. Give him 6 months or a year in the A and maybe we'll see him next year.

Maybe I read too fast, but is he an RFA or a UFA in two years?

In order of best to worst we have 8-10 potential NHL defenders:

Dahlin
Risto
Scandella
McCabe
Guhle
Bogo
Nelson
Pilut
Falk (tweener)
Beaulieau (tweener)

We officially have depth at defense. Not anywhere near the best group, but hopefully that will hold us in better stead.

thx...was lucky enough to land an interview with his coach...Lindbom was very generous with his time and very understanding when it came to the difficulties I had connecting to Sweden

It really isn't as simple as 100 points out and 0 points in.

Scandella

Guhle
Bogo
Nelson
Pilut

bogo and McCabe on the third pairing would be a big step in the right direction...

not to rain on your parade, but I don't see botts dishing out a $11 million contract even if he did unload some dead weight

It's not happening. If all goes according to plan, we're paying Dahlin 10 mil per year in 3 years, and Casey 7-8, Eichel 10.5; they aren't paying JT 11 mil til he's 36

Why not ? I think it help us on wing tremendously and klefbom will help out the defense

ROR, McCabe,2nd round pick, Prospect for Skinner, Faulk.

Risto for Yamamoto and Klefbom
or
Risto for Puljujarvi

I swear to baby jesus.

If Ristolainen is playing 25 min per
Lehner is our #1
O'Reilly is playing 20 min
Bogosian is in a top 4 role

And anyone says "Playoffs" I'm going to play Russian Roulette, by myself with a fully loaded gun

And having a better replacement for when Bogo bites the dirt after 10 or so games...

I swear to baby jesus.

Life stream that poop bro, we're going to the (frank)ing PLAYOFFS!

Edit: Feel free to say "I told you so" in November-December.

Bogo ahead of nelson?

Dude's not gonna be happy.

Bogo is only ahead of bowl u.
And that's arguable

I think we make a late push once Dahlin, Guhle and Mitts get comfortable

(As long as roster changes are made)

I flagged this on accident.

Have you seen the sequel?

Lehner is not going to be a sabre, we are trying to win now.

Bogo is not part of the top 4.

Playoffs are a possibility. 85-95 points next year

This is what I think should happen...

Ristolainen is playing 25 min per
Lehner is our #1
O'Reilly is playing 20 min
Bogosian is in a top 4 role

Equals Playoffs
