Seems like a no brainer, especially if he is open to a 2 way contract. He might be the fourth best d right now as it is
- Slump Buster


Samuelsson-Dahlin
Power-Joker
Pilut/Bryson-Subban (if he signs)
Fitzgerald, Laaksonen on the farm

Seems like good depth to me

I think Adams feels the same way and isn't waiting for anyone.
- Slump Buster


Notice he hasn't been able to get Tokarski or Subban signed either.

I mean that’s a quick $750K one way offer even if it’s tossed to them in September

Have you heard anything on Kane ?
- Anderdog

No, Pegula loves him but nothing on him wanted to come here.

He had his discussions with them.

Why would he sign them when he is looking for better?

They played 12 D last season. That doesn't cut it.

It's also a roster spot in Buffalo/Rochester taken up.

If he gets a legit goalie Anderson becomes the backup in Buffalo and UPL starts in Rochester. Finding a backup in Rochester isn't difficult, it's either Dell, Subban, Houser or Tokarski...

Can't wait for PK Subban to sign here 5 million a year for 3 years tomorrow!

Pysyk is probably back if they can't upgrade a decent vet for the bottom pairing

I'd bet they aren't offering 1 ways to them and they are checking out the market.

I’m sure they will sign a few guys to two way deals like they do every year. The Davidsons and Irwin’s of the world

They'll need a few, for sure. Might be worse, depth wise, than last year with no real NHL prospects in Roch.

Yeah exactly. Filling out the bottom of the roster should be the easiest thing they do all summer.

Goalie and a RHD to play in the top 4 will be something else entirely though.

With the amount of teams up against the cap, I’d love to see the depth filled out that way by taking a few contracts off the hands of other teams to be stashed on our roster for a another couple mid round lottery tickets in next years draft

I know I'm a broken record here, but I'm convinced they are bargain hunting for their depth again.

They have to spend about $12.5 million to get to the floor. Olofsson and a bunch of bargain basement players aren’t gonna get that done, especially when two guys coming up are on their ELCs.

Can’t sign one Subban without the singing Subban… so if one Subban gets 5x3, what’s the other Subban get? One way or 2 way? Raise over last year?
