Bozak on a similar deal...another Tyler!

If the Blues want to send a 2nd rounder with him then why not?

Just read over on The Athletic, Stevies said He is looking for 2 forwards, right handed though that's not a deal breaker, and 2 possibly 3 Dmen. Then obviously someone in net...

So....

Turris for 2C
Maybe Wennberg as a flier since He is being bought out?
Though I'd be real happy if he managed to convince Kahun to come...

On D...

I know alot of peeps want Krug, but not sure its gonna happen.... so....

Andy Greene- Good Vet Presence and from Trenton
Troy Stecher- I think he is Krug lite
Matt Benning

In Net... assuming they can't get Markstom...

Crawford would be my #1 choice
Then in order...
Thomas Greiss
Cam Talbot
Craig Anderson

Helm isn't the best option.
- gergeswillems


Yeah, actually looking closer at the charts now I think I'm starting to agree with you that it's actually Gagner.

Either way, man are we shallow at center.

Yep. Turris would be another option. Could get him cheap after his Preds buyout. I can't see Stevie being in the Krug sweepstakes. He'll get a retirement contract. Likely Florida. Wennberg? He looked good in the playoffs. Stretcher doesn't move the needle for me. But he'll get signed somewhere. Greene will likely stay on the Island with Lou. Benning sucks. I'd take Kahun.

There's so many options right now. I bet Stevie has been planning this for months. I'd take Greiss or Talbot but not Craig Anderson. I think he's 58 years old. But he might be who Stevie ends up with once the UFA goalie musical chairs stop.

Any interest in Verhagge, Gauutier, DuClair, Rodrigius?????

So based on that...

Forwards
Bert-Larkin-Mantha
Fabri-Turris-Zadina
Helm-Rasmussen-Gagner
Wennberg-Glendening-Filppula/Nielsen

Timoshov
Filppula/Nielsen

Defense
Dekeyser-Hronek
Nemeth-Stecher
Staal-Greene

Lindstrom

Goalie
Crawford
Bernier


This would compete a hell of a lot better than the team this year. Could easily flip Mantha and Zadina, givem the chemistry between Turris and Mantha. It not gonna make the playoffs (which is good), and has some moveable pieces at the deadline. I don't hate it, but I dont LOVE it either. But not a single one those FAs would block any one of the future either, so that makes me like it more.

I'd be interested in Duclair at a good price. His defensive game is pretty lousy but he's talented and he puts up points and that's what I want to see on a team that's obviously going to be bad anyway. He's like Fabbri but better.

I want Talbot in goal for two years. Greiss would be okay, one or two years. Crawford maybe for one. I don't want to be anywhere near Markstrom if the offer is anywhere close to the numbers that have been thrown around for him.

Totally agree... it'd be nice to lose 6-4 or 8-6 more often and not 6-1, 4-0, etc, hahaha!

Crawford hitting the mark. Interest?
- Jeremy Laura


He's had more concussions than an MMA fighter at this point.
His health and mental issues should be a lot of concern.

On Kienan Draper:

His dad said he if he does hot pan out, he will be traded to Winnipeg for $1.

I'm looking at the list of FAs.... gotta say there are some Dmen out there I really wouldn't mind, in addition to the Stecher idea earlier....

Jon Merrill
Brandon Hickey
Derek Forbort
Robbie Russo
Justin Schultz

None of them block anyone, and all are useful players. Hickey and Russo would be more 7th D types.
I didnt realize Merrill was a UFA.... I love him as a player and was at Michigan for a couple years....not that it matters, but I can dream, right?

Much better to trade for a goalie and get another prospect for taking him.

I would sign Wennberg or Turris to a cheap 1 year deal to be the 2nd line center. I wouldn't mind Duclair or AA for that matter just to twist the knife in Holland more.

For defense Erik Gustafsson is still my #1 choice on a cheap short term contract. I would be ok with Brodie short term if he isn't asking too much. I would say Mark Borowiecki (if the left side wasn't already too crowded) to play physical and maybe save Mantha from a fighting injury.

I would like at least one guy that can scrap to look after the young guys instead of someone that just takes up a roster spot and doesn't really bring anything. Borowiecki, Simmonds, Matt Martin, Micheal Haley someone like those to keep the flies off and give something entertaining to watch.

Goalie well i'm fine with Talbot or Greiss but would rather trade for Demko or Georgiev.

its gonna be another long season. and a couple more..

ive raised this before. whats the plan to get a #1 C, a #1G and a #1D?
and by #1 I mean a star player.
you have to draft these right? they havent gotten lucky in the lottery..
would be nice if they win the lottery next season and get Shane Wright who is supposed to be the next John Tavares.. theres your #1C

Servalli...

Sounds like the #NHLBruins have held firm on their 6 x $6.5 million offer to pending UFA D Torey Krug. He's expected to hit the market tomorrow, but the Bruins have left the door open for them to reconnect once Krug sees what's out there.

I was just going over that. Man, that’s a deal for BOS if he re signs. Time to see what the market will bear tomorrow ( or bull if you will)
