1984Echoes Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 So a 4th line grind-liner... Let's see what he can do. Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 3, 2024 Author Posted July 3, 2024 Who first reported this Aaron Ekblad rumor? Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 I kinda dig this Motte signing, getting more defense from their forwards would be nice Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 Talked to my buddy who’s a Canucks fan and he said motte plays like every game is a playoff game. Wings need that energy for real. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 A couple of interesting moves, I had felt like Fabbri was a bit redundant on this roster. Hopefully Tarasenko can be a ~50 point player over that contract, not too bad of a cap hit. Quote
lordstanley Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 (edited) Alexander is a career minor leaguer so salary dump I guess. $4mm savings, I believe? Fine. Wings could ice a team of 6 goalies for a shift in pre-season. EDIT: career minor leaguer might be a bit dismissive. He's only 22. Still, salary dump I'm sure was main motivation.

Expand Looking at his stats it seems like he'll just be an ECHL body but goalies are weird so you never know. He's tall at least! I am getting anxious for the Seider and Raymond contracts here....

buddha Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 raymond - larkin - tarasenko kane - compher - debrincat ras - copp - fischer berggren - kasper - mazur veleno Quote
buddha Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 the defense will be seider and edvinnson and then five goalies. 2 Quote

I was thinking: DeBrincat - Larkin - Raymond Tarasenko - Compher - Kane Rasmussen - Copp - Danielson Motte - Veleno - Fischer I like DeBrincat away from Kane at 5 on 5. Though my second line I have to feel for poor Compher he isn't getting much help defensively there. Danielson can be swapped with a Mazur or Kasper potentially for me, I just feel like he's going to make the team for some reason. It does feel like they could sign another forward, but who is left looks pretty grim. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 3, 2024 Author Posted July 3, 2024 So does Danielson stand a chance to make the main roster now out of camp with Tarasenko? Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 3, 2024 Posted July 3, 2024 Debrincat and Raymond are both RH shots...Tarasenko and Kane are lefties. You probably don't want the LH wings and two RH wings on the same lines. 1 Quote
