The name calling led me to believe you were hurt. I'm glad you're OK.

If cheap it is good. But we need to dump salary.

I think he will sign for cheap. He doesn’t have many options since he’s said his preference is to play in western Canada and many of those teams are capped out or don’t want him. Canucks May be the only option

Nucker, incredibly Tannhill has an o-line and a running game and he's lights out. The big one is hard to win, but he has some decent weapons.

Still say the Dolphins had to move on after not giving him an o-line since his rookie season.

- golfingsince


Tannehill had a case of gase lmao. Gase ruins players

Players who have been way above average since leaving gase

Ryan Tannehill
Devante Parker
Robbie Anderson
Kenyan Drake

They all have signed big seals since leaving gase. Unbelievable this dude is a HC

I agree Gase is a problem. I'm totally fine where he is.

I wish Drake were still in Miami but he overvalued himself. He's a great back but he's not a 3 down back which are increasingly rare. He can't earn the tough yards inside.

I finally did my own attempt at an arm chair GM the way I see some of you do it. I did it like this

Step 1.
Send the rights to Gaudette and Virtanen to Boston for a 1st. Both players fit Bostons normal style and Gaudette is from that area and is likely to be a lifer there.

Step 2.
Send the acquired first we just got from Boston to Ottawa to take Loui off our hands a

Step 3.
Trade Rafferty and a 3rd to Tampa for Cernak. Sign him to a 4x4 taking him until he is 27

Step 4.
Sign Duclair to a 2 x2.5 contract


Left with up front
Miller - EP - Boeser
Pearson - Bo - Duclair
Hoglander - Motte - Sutter
Roussel - Beagle - Macewen
Ferland and/or Lind pending Ferlands health

Offense takes a small overall step back from last year, but is a bit heavier and harder to play against. Hopefully gets a boost from Pod around mid season.

Defense would be
Hughes - Schmidt
Edler - Cernak
Joulevi - Myers
with Rathbone and Benn as the backups

Defense would be heavily improved over last year. More than enough to make up for the slightly less lethal offense.

Demko
Holtby

No surprises in net

This actually leaves 2.5 mil in cap space to take a chance on another forward on a possible 1 year deal. Maybe use it to bring Leivo back?

Not bad with plenty of thought used.

No idea how reliable Irf is as an insider(isn’t he basically the brown Dan Murphy?). But I saw this on HF:

Virt for Toff

Now that would stir up some fans 😂

A strong case for a bargain price...

I’m convinced we should resign him.

I’d much rather kick the tires on Galchenyuk (who apparently doesn’t have many options) & dangle the carrot that he could get his career back on track if he earns TOI w/ Petey... I actually think they’d be deadly together. Could be adding a relatively young piece to the core if it works out.

I know it's hard to move salary right now, but I'd be down to try to sell high on Pearson and maybe attach one of Gaudette/Virtanen with him for a decent dman at a cheaper cap hit and then use the freed up money to sign Granlund or Dadonov.

Would have to try to find a team that needs forwards badly(that is high on one of those 3) and is relatively deep at D.

Would it not be better to get someone in the top 6 forwards?

I'm ok with packing up Pearson/Gaudette/JV but with Toffoli gone who rounds out the last two spots in our top 6 forwards? Right now we have:

Pettersson
Horvat
Miller
Boeser

Does not compare.... RSD with size and mobility get paid in the NHL deal with it.

We finally dumped our slow and soft smurf and you want to replace him with an equally slow and soft smurf that is even softer? Yikes. At least Hamonic can PK

Would take Hamonic on the third pairing over Vatanen for sure.

Would still rather make a trade for a long term RHD solution, though.
