No it wouldn't, but depending on what Tanev signs for its doable with Johnson’s ELC for another year.

Why do you want to trade for a defensemen so badly?

Once samuelsson comes back. We have a log jam at defense. Ryan Johnson shouldn’t come out.

Samuelsson should always play as well

So Clifton joker or Erik Johnson should rotate who sits.

Also injuries do happen.

This defense is better if Erik Johnson is playing extremely limited minutes.

I still don't trust Joker and I feel like I'm a holdout, but he's playing as well as he ever has on the whole. You can't rotate him. Even Clifton is alright.

Sounds like plus 2

Another warrior for the Horde!!!!

Yes sir, 3 weeks ago.

I don't broadcast that sort of thing.

New dad at 48 is something 😅
- kingcong39

Sincere congratulations 39

Even more congratulations if you’re a first time dad

Tanev still has strong defensive numbers on a piss poor team. That would be my pick.
- TheSabresTaco

it would be a decent d lineup if they kept ryan johnson with the big club

may even make joker more of a playmaker if he was dropped to bottom pair


dahlin-tanev
power-samuelsson/ryan johnson
ryan johnson/sameulsson-joker

No sir, taking advantage of the Paid Parental Leave that NY offers. I'll be back to work for 2 days next week, then back to full time the Monday after Thanksgiving.

The PPL is a godsend, considering I normally take virtually no time off annually.


- kingcong39

Congrats! I have baby number 2 on the way at 37, my son is 10. So hoping he is a big help lol. Got 4 weeks left before he is here. So glad to have the PFL this time around, only got a week off with my first son.

No, unfortunately. But taking a 33% hit one day a week is better than nothing. Sounds like you have a nice setup
- Hank Balling

Very, very lucky to be able to get 100% of my pay while out.

That said, I take maybe 50 to 60 total hours of time off a year, so even though it is unlimited, I really don't use it like I should.

You have 4 defensemen that you can’t take out of the lineup.

Erik Johnson has helped stabilize the penalty kill.

If you trade for anderson like suggested. You are going to give up a lot of assets for 3rd pairing minutes?

Rasmus Andersson is a top 4, and likely top pair defenseman.

I'd like to see 20 games out of him before forming an opinion on the kind of player he can be.

If he continues to be intelligent on his gap control and become an average own zone defenseman, he'll be a huge asset here as a movable top 6 dman who can spot on any line.

What the F@ck are you talking about, he's Definitely Top 3-4 Dman

Cause Andersson or for that matter Tanev would make us better. Sorry I like Samuelsson but it might benefit him injury wise to cut his minutes down. And don't give a crap about E.Johnson or Clifton. I would sit them both if I could

we have the assets to overpay and make the flames sway from not trading him to consider trading him


we do not have a gm that would make that bold of a trade IMO

Pretty much, but who knows what Calgary does. And we Certainly could make a Very nice offer to start there Rebuild

- homiedclown

we do have the assets. i don't think it's realistic to expect this GM to overpay for anybody.

that being said, is Rasmus Andersson *the* guy you'd go all in for?

- Buff36

I certainly agree. I'd have to put some thought into it, but if I were to go all-in on one guy in this league, I'm not sure it's Andersson. He isn't a bad option though by no means.

He's one of the guys, yes.

Two more seasons after this one.

Might be even better value then Tuch's deal.

Not a fvckin chance.

Why are we clamoring for another top pair D-man. We have TWO and both were #1 picks.

Why give up major assets to pay another d-man 8 mil in 2 years or not be able to for that matter.

Two more seasons after this one.

Might be even better value then Tuch's deal.

Then you gotta pay the guy while already paying Power and Dahlin 19 Million
