Points in 10 straight, Borgen was a good get for Krappo, not too often you get a game with goals from Miller and Fox, maybe it's a sign of more to come. Still hoping Drury can get JT Miller, he's the center we've been looking for.
Drury needs to resign Borgen and Vaakananien immediately. They should both be able to sign for decent contracts. Smith has been good. Excellent on the PK unit. 2 SH assists. 23 points in his role. I didn't like the Carrick signing as I wanted to build an all young, 4th line. Dead wrong about that. He's been perfect on the 4th line and his faceoffs are on another level from his career numbers. I do not think it would be wise to acquire Miller if they can't move Zibanejad. He has to resign Miller, Cuylle, Lindgren, Borgen and Vaakanainen. I believe we will have a little under 19 million in cap space next season. If they were wise they would lock Cuylle up for 5 years at 20 million. He's a sure bet to be a winning player. No fucking bridge deal for him. Miller with his inconsistent year, 4 y 16 million. Tops. Lindgren I keep. 4 y, 20 million. You can always deal a guy like that on that contract if you need to. Borgen, 4 year, 12 million. Vaakanainen, 3 years, 8 million. That brings us in under the cap. All those defenseman are on decent contracts. Gives us flexibility. No clauses in any of those contracts. I have a love-hate relationship with Miller. Half the time I want to send that dumb fuck to Siberia. The other half the time he looks like one of the better defenseman in the league. Mancini and Fortescue are coming. I really like Mancini. His skating is tremendous for a guy his size. If brought him up, I guess the business move would be to let Lindgren go. He will probably cost the most and has the most mileage on him. Or, you could risk trading him but you have to get a young center back in a package with him.
