slothfacekilla Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I kinda dig this Motte signing, getting more defense from their forwards would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothfacekilla Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (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.

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....

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 So does Danielson stand a chance to make the main roster now out of camp with Tarasenko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he still has a chance but it is definitely slimmer now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzaki Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
