Kent Johnson seems like a great guy to go after, however, it doesnt seem like hes destined to be a C. His FO% last year was under 30%.

Mangiapane I like a lot, however, I dont see how he fits in with Kreider and Zib. Hes a shoot first, to the net player and Kreider already does that. The reason why I feel that line is struggling is theres no one on that line that will draw attention to themselves. Dont get me wrong, Kreider and Ziba draw attention, but I mean a guy who can skate with the puck draw defenders to him and create seams in the defense to get the puck to the open man.

I dont know what the solution is, but what we do know is both Buch and Tarasenko flourished on that line. I feel like if were looking to get that line going, those are the options we need to look into.

I think a fast player is the way to go. Both Kreider and Zib are arguably our two fastest forwards, Kakko is slower on his feet this is why I think it struggled. It doesn’t need an all star on it, in general we don’t need to add an all star (unlike I thought last year). Just around the edges top 9 forward more or less. Othmann SHOULD get that spot on opening night next season imo. This year I get, it seems a bit outlandish to see him there

I listened to that pod cast that Rick gave us, and someone made a point to say that Berard looks good in Hartford, as a RW. Not saying he’ll play on that line lol just that maybe he’ll get a call up at some point. Hartford could be important this year more than other years. We may have to poach some better players at some point. We generally just get the vet scrubs to fill in. I’d love to see Othmann at some point, really hope that happens.

I gave you a podcast?

With the latest article from Brooks on chytl it sounds like LTIR. Aside for trading for lindhom I would try and get Mangipane as well.

Wingers duclair and Zucker. Centers is a tough one as those are harder to come by

Lindholm. He can play play both. I like Pinto because he’s from the area. He ain’t gonna mess up anymore with gambling either.

Yea it was great listen lol. That Berard comment made my ears perk. Haven’t really followed him

If there’s one thing we know about gamblers..

Kidding. No idea what his deal is so I have no judgement to pass on that. He’s not back soon enough, though. Cannot roll bonino as 3C for another 25-30 games

I was thinking more down the road and if Chytil really does miss the season, or alot of it. I believe Pinto can play wing too.

I need the SJ goalie to be lights out for hopefully $2k 🤞

Edit:
Hollaaaa. Kaapo Kahkonen just won me $2000. I feel like Richard Dryfuss in Let It Ride what a week I’m havin’

Now this other Kaapo will start scoring I can feel it

If its speed we need on that line than I agree with the guys that Duclair could be the one to grab.

But Id also be curious if Cuylle can play RW.

Heres 2 guys to consider for 3C in the event of a long term Chytil injury… Nick Bjugstad on ARI or Colton Sissons on NSH

Lindholm has 3 assists tonight. He could cost alot to get

He will cost a lot regardless. Hes that prototypical 200 ft player every team wants to have.

He's gonna be the best center on the market. Price will be high no matter what.

Not exactly a watershed moment.
I was pretty sure hating was your thing.

if Montreal gives up, Sean Monahan is a pending UFA with 1.9 mil cap hit, off to solid start, nice faceoffs
