Heard Buffalo and New Jersey have kicked the tires on Namestnikov

His previous AAV was 4 mil and his stats are not impressive what would this RW bring?

CapFriendly has him listed at all 3 positions.

Olofsson could be moved to RW is needed.

I mean, a 3rd line of Kahun - Eakin - Namestikov wouldn't be horrible I guess.

Or maybe...

Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart
Skinner - Staal - Toffoli
Namestikov - Eakin - Cozens

Just spit balling as it's not overly appealing.

It's fantastic. He was the number one FA I had on my list.

Fourth team since 2018/19 and 183 pounds.

I’m dying for this to happen for obvious reasons

Cody Eakin. He is a hockey player. That is all I can say about him.

Brodie is a good fit in Toronto as well.

But hey we managed to downgrade from Larsson to Eakin and manage to spend more.

I guess I can also say I would have rather doubled Girgensons salary than pay Eakin.

How can you be a negative player, at everything you do.

I’d feel better if we got Toffoli.

Trading Montour to Colorado for Jost or to Vancouver for Virtanen wouldn’t hurt either

I think I get why they those girgs

On overall talent alone Girgs > Larry.

Girgs if needed can be our utility knives on other lines besides the 4th line. Like if we have an injury. He can fill in short term

Larry can’t really do that.

Happy we avoided that Murray contract? His camp was under shooting if the 5x5 was accurate

Skinner-Larry-Sheary was a productive line.

I’d rather the team Buffalo is playing against have Cody Eakin. He’s oh so very not good.

He’s a net negative at everything he does.

5 on 5
4 on 5
Doesn’t get PP time.

I’d rather them gone in a different direction there
