Doubt we can afford to add Forsberg. O'Reilly would be cheaper low hanging fruit in terms of $$$ and the assets needed to get him

Nashville is interesting...they could be looking at a full on rebuild. A guy like Ryan O'Reilley might be worth inquiring about as a top six F with some size and scoring. Two years left with a 4.5 mil cap hit

I think that's a bit much

Cossa has been trending down since the deadline when they went out and got Mrazek...maybe he's bummed at being blocked for a year.

Mize gives up a HR...what a bum

Good stuff from Doc Rivers

He might be...

no...1C's don't hit the market very often..but that doesn't make Larkin any more attractive.

That and Larkin and Raymond coming back from Four Nations a step slower. We may need to look elsewhere for a 1C. Larkin has the talent..but he lacks the durability you want from the guy ostensibly pulling the wagon

They both contributed a lot tonight...I think physically Stew was a better match up on KAT in the paint...and I think he got in his head by bodying him one on one.

He's definitely missing that high gear...Raymond appears a step behind also.

Old line CCHA guy from my college days...was disappointed when my BGSU Falcons didn't follow Western and Miami into the NCHC

That was a playoff atmosphere...

Quit watching in the 2nd period...Pistons are so much more entertaining this year

He probably wouldn't..but he needs to be open to the concept

Should have signed Moniak when they had the chance

6-3, 230lbs and 20+ goal scorer who's 22? Yep..1st and a 3rd would be cheap

Toronto is intriguing...they have Marner and Tavares as UFA'S and Matthew Kniess as an RFA. Offer sheets are generally frowned upon...but I might load up a poison pill to go after Kniess. He's young and has the size we lack

Next!

Nikolai Ehlers would be a nice FA if the Jets don't sign him

Bring back Kane. Buy out Tarasenko. Obtain a top line wing to go with 71 and 23. Cat, Kasper and Kane are your second line. Copp, Compher and Ras is your checking line..or 3rd line if you must. Elmer, Danielson, Mazur and Lombardi can comprise the 3rd line with an extra fwd. In a perfect world, Lombardi dazzles everyone and earns time on the top line The defense is seemingly locked in for next year. Be nice if ASP forced Holl onto the healthy scratch list

Tork!!!

Be pretty amazing if the two 1/1's we wrote off last year as washouts lead us to the playoffs

Coming into the season...I thought they could regress a bit this year after losing Perron and Ghost..esp on the pp. Ironically...the PP has been better this year, even though Gustafson and Tarasenko were not suitable replacements for Ghost and Perron. Ras, Compher and while he was here, Veleno all backslide a bit. Those issues have lead to a crippling lack of 5 on 5 scoring. Couple that with the inexplicably horrible PK and lack of consistent goaltending and you get a team that will miss the playoffs. On the bright side...Edvinsson has been decent and shows a lot of potential...Kasper has shown more offense than his detractors thought he would and Johansson has shown he's a viable 2nd or 3rd pairing dman. Not gonna be much better next year unless we find a legit wing to roll on the top line with Larkin and Raymond to provide more scoring. I hope they can bring Kane back..or they'll need another wing for the second line. They also need a better LHD for the top pairing. You would hope guys like Danielson,Cosa, Wallinder et al...would get a shot. Would like to Watson up here as well...I think he bring an edge that this team really lacks. .
