Who is gonna be available for Fridays deadline/who is still available that we may be interested in besides Chychrun lol. Anaheim, Vancouver, and Chicago I feel may be our teams to target w/ Arizona at the end.

I'm not worried about who is "available", Carter and Rakell weren't on the radar so it could be someone off the radar.

I think that has to be the way as well....I also think Poehling is great for 4C....if only he were healthy....
- MattStrat

I do like Poehling as well at 4c

Idk I heard from multiple spots about Rakell, but I do agree on Carter. I also understand what you mean. Carter was out of left field. Hopefully Hex acquires his younger player w/ term like he is searching for.

Oh ok I don't remember the Rakell stuff days leading up to the deadline, I must've missed it. But anyways hopefully Hex finds something good and under contract. Because he's iffy haha.

Everything will be cap in cap out. Is there anyone he wants to legit get rid of?

I've kinda touched on this in the past. Does Hex really want to move the players all of us think he should? Im not so convinced he does. I will say however that the Kap hitting waivers move was totally unexpected from Hex....so maybe he surprises me again...

Only 2 goals for Blueger. What a terrible contract year. Who could have seen this coming?
- Tojo.


His 3% shooting average is unsustainable. I don't see Blueger going on a heater, he just doesn't get many opportunities.

I put most of the blame on Sullivan. He has never shown any confidence in the man.

That depends on the cap of the other player because we'll have 2.1 on deadline day. Now I think he had interest with in McCabe, so Dumo would have to go out the other way for that. And I would suspect Blueger and his 2.2 isn't safe here either.

Ahh yes Heinen would be another guy that could be shipped out for a little space. So Dumo, Blue, Heinen could be moved.

Blueger is getting the most chances per 60 in his career. He is also getting the least amount of 5v5 ice time in his career as an NHL regular.

Dumo still gets a lot of ice time and is a "reliable vet"

Really can't see them moving him.

Me either. He will likely be resigned to a long term deal by Hextall...

Then idk why they would even talk about McCabe then because it can't happen. McCabe would go on the top pair with Letang. So that's up to Hextall.

Maybe we can we trade Hallander for McCann? or Ty Smith for Marino?
