We are at a pivotal moment now. Gorton/JD have to be smart here. Our playoff odds are like 30%, and if we slip in we'll most likely play the Bruins...
You may buy out a player next year, but I don't think that is needed anyway. The issue is not next season, the issue would be 2 or 3 years down the...
Toffoli dealt to the Canucks. That makes Kreider the best available player by miles. The haul should be great if we deal him. To be clear on my...
This is a sellers market no doubt. We can get a haul for Kreider, and we should unless he takes a very team friendly deal (that's less than a 7 mill...
I am starting to think a really good move would be to deal Skjei to Toronto for a very good forward (Kapanen) and a pick. That is a smart deal for...
To me two things drive the Kreider decision: 1. Does he want 6 or 7 years at 7 mill per +/-. If yes I cannot give him that much. 2. What is the...
I think next year is the tighter year with a lot of dead money (6 mill from Shatt's buyout alone). After next year we get good relief with...
They should deal Skjei to the Leafs for a very good forward. I hear that's what the Leafs are looking for, a top 4 LD for a very good forward since...
Oh yeah, I agree with that. Still doesn't mean signing Kreider for 7 mill per +/- is smart because some other players have bad deals. Hell Hayes got...
I didn't say there will be many forwards called up, it will be D and playing Shest in goal. As I said in the other thread, forwards will be added via...
He knows it, and knew it when he signed here. Of course we want more next season, but to expect the team to have a load of dead money against the...
Gorton and JD know that. I have little doubt a deal of dmen/Georgiev for a very good forward will happen at some point. I would guess a couple...
Yeah, we should buy out all those guys and have 13 mill of dead money against the cap, yes that is a smart approach. When Kreider is dealt for a haul...
It astonishes me how some of you value Kreider. No playoffs this year, maybe fringe type playoff team next year (we are not a cup contender next year...
Plus side it sounds like Kreider is as good as gone. That is very smart for a few reasons: 1. He is the best forward available at the trade DL,...
They already have over 6 mill of dead money next season. I don't see another buyout with 1 year left on deals (maybe one - and no shot they buy 3...
So here is the question with Kreider on one of his good runs before he disappears for a while. Seems like most want to keep him now. So simple...
I'd expect Georgiev to get dealt before the DL. The Rangers need to get an NHL ready forward prospect, and if they do I make the deal. I would expect...
So it is Quinn's fault Lettieri is in the minors? OMG - when does it stop. So he tells Gorton, hey Jeff please don't bring this guy up. Boy Quinn has...
Did he hate the coach in the AHL when he sucked there also and walked out on him and his teammates? I think panzer is spot on. Lias got challenged...
