Dumping Zib seems really difficult to do…so with that this could be the lineup next year (mixing matching RWs). D is where they need to spend the money they may have

Panarin Trocheck Laf
Cuylle Chytil Berard
Othmann ZiB Perrault
Edstrom Carrick Sykora
Rempe

xxxx Fox
xxxx Schneider
Vaakaninen Borgen
(I think they’d like to keep Borgen imo, and to a certain degree Urho)
Mancini 7th D

Shesty
Garand

It’s hard to see Miller coming back at this point as anything more than 50-50. I’d push hard for Provorov or Chychrun to play with Fox. If they want to get the best out of Fox they need to sign someone long term for him

There is no way they come back next year without making any significant moves to the forward group. They aren’t running it back with just some Hartford pieces sprinkled in

Well Kreider is gone lol I just don’t know if they can trade zib. Thats the million dollar question

You have to figure Perrault and othmann are penciled in too. There is really nothing else to do. Unless Panarin asks out. I think the defense gets the major makeover which will hopefully lead to better results for the forwards. Chytil isnt going anywhere imo, nor Trocheck

This was my guy for Kakko. My reputation is on the line

He’s got a sweet shot but can’t play defense is the word

Give me Kaliyev, Borgen and a couple of picks for Kakko 100 times out of 100

Yep this is the kind of player that could work out tho. Change of scenery type thing.
Maybe they trade Smith now while he is kind of hot

Maybe bringing him in will change the country club atmosphere the players have in the clubhouse. Make it uncomfortable in there

It’s one of those no risk things. We suck anyway. It’s very much like Kakko who just wanted a new organization to play in. Just wonder if he’ll play right away. I don’t think they can send him Hartford, I’m not sure those rules after you claim a guy tho

I think it could be moving on from either Vesey or smith in the coming days

I mean he’s -12 in 188 games. Could be a lot worse.

What’s shocking is that they couldn’t get anything for him and a handful of bad teams passed on him. $825k and will still be an RFA.

Really does look like Dr. Evil or something

It would definitely suck for him if he misses out on the chance to play for Team USA.

He can barely hug Mika. The ultimate sign of how bad it is

If they can get back close to what they paid for him, gotta do it.

I think you’re right about Borgen and Vaakanainen too. Not the worst bottom pair for next season if they sign on the cheaper side.

Apparently they’ve been hot for Borgen for awhile. I can’t remember where I heard that but i did hear it. I think hed get a decent draft pick tho (the the TDL) so they may flip him still. But he is big and meanish which we know they desperately need more of

EJ Hradek tweeted Drury could probably flip Borgen for a 1st when the trade went down

If they were hot for Borgen, I doubt they trade him.

Taht seems a little too much to ask but that would be the tits

I didn’t see his goal, was it lucky? Nice shot? I se it was unassisted so just curious what happen on it. I was watching Harry Potter fighting back the sleep lol

That’s pretty cool.

Reading up on him more, touted for his skating and his shot so he’s definitely no Kakko. Really happy with the pickup.

Maybe it makes up for Tolvanen a couple years ago. This is the perk of being poopty in the standings where you’re low enough to get diamonds in the rough potentially

I was thinking maybe this is why he did trade Kakko. Like had an idea that Kaliyev would be on waivers soon because the Kings had to do something with him. I read a tweet saying no one was biting on trading for him

Nice enough. Hawks did their usual refusal to get the puck out of the zone and Rangers capitalized.

Sorry for invading, the Hawks haven't had a writer for about two months now. Pretty boring rehashing poopty game after poopty game.

What are y'alls thoughts on Seth Jones. Interesting at all (last game notwithstanding), or is he considered a turd?
