Watch them load up on draft picks again, it's gonna be like part 2 of the expansion draft for them
- Nucker101

No one pays fair value for players. VGK is going to be fleeced so horribly. Probably won't even have a draft pick next season.

let's say he signs a UFA winger, the winger depth chart is now:

Boeser
Miller
UFA
Baertschi
Pearson
Leivo
Virtanen
Roussel
1 of Sutter/Beagle/Gaudette
Motte
Eriksson


Reading the tea leaves here:

Goldy/Granny are gone or only brought back if they're willing to sign cheap as organizational depth


And Virtanen is potentially being shopped

- Nucker101


Something has to happen . Enjoy the drama.

If they are looking for a top 6 maybe Sven is odd man out

Sven likely has barely any real value with his injury history and tweener ability. I'd be shocked if Benning could get a 3rd for him. More likely a 4th or 5th or prospect of equal value to that.

Benning still loves Sutter, meanwhile he's openly admitted that he's unsure about Goldy.

It does have an infectious ring to it.

Probably will have to wait until the good wingers sign in free agency and some GM who missed out is interested.

I was too upset by the Podkolzin pick and Miller trade to show my face on here.

I'm.coming around on the pick but the whining on the Miller trade is sending me over the edge....

- chompsey

4/5.25m is a very good contract for a 26yr old of his quality.

I loved that part too. I’ve been waiting weeks to hear some new insults.

It's not McDavid that's the issue.
- LordHumungous

I have my sources, there are lots of problems there besides him though.

No need to spend on a UFA F now.
D needs focus. So Goldy still has an opportunity to sink or swim for one last chance. JV is different but getting closer. Both are cheap & good cost control. Miller allows Goldy to be creative if nothing else but he has to engage more or sayonara.

4.5 million cap hit for a 50 to 60 point player is outragious

I think this week is to try to find more points on the D. Add one more forward.

Sell off some RFAs Hutton Granlund
Sign some of our RFAs Leivo Motte Teves Rafferty Eliot

July 2 decide what to do with Tanev Sven Sutter Loui


Busy couple of weeks

Totally worth a 1st round pick from a club struggling to make the playoffs.

Love the player, hate the price.

- Marwood

Fair enough👍
Time will tell how it works out. I’m feeling optimistic he is a great add.

1st up is Sven healthy then can remain healthy. Skinner went through concussion problems. Not saying is him but we need a healthy season from him regardless.

What do you think the going rate for a top 6 forward is on the UFA market ?

I am not a Sven fan . I would like Roussel on third line and a better top 6 guy than Sven. I never liked his contract from the get go.

What did
william karlsson just sign for? 5.9 x 8 so that. No 1sts needed and hes a center.

56 pts last year 76 the year before. 26. Yup we made an oops.

A player who carries his team can be the biggest Richard on the planet for all i care. Other than Draisiatl & RNH he has no support that he didn’t create. Holland could turn it around but it will take some time.

That's probably what it'll take, which is why I'd pass. Rather sign Johansson for way less and hope he can say healthy.
