Need to add some LHD...if not via FA maybe a deal or two? I like Copp more. He really started to come on once he got out of Winnipeg and is better defensively than Strome. If they can find a top 6 wing to pair with Copp and Vrana that would make a solid 2nd line. I suspect Suter and Zadina will be better fits on a 3rd line. Quote
Shinzaki Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 After he closed out last season on a high note...I'd like to see Ras on a line with Copp and Vrana Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 How can we get Strome now? That's the guy I really want. Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 My top free agent targets are/were Dylan Strome as our #2 Center, John Klingberg as a second pairing defenseman, and if we're being big spenders and getting a third piece, Nino Niederreiter as more scoring depth at the wing. Quote
Hongbit Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) I like it better than 7 for Trocheck Edited July 13, 2022 by Hongbit Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Doug Karsch on 97.1 talking about Detroit signing Olli Maatta. Quote
Hongbit Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Not a big fan of this one. He was better with the Kings than he was at the end of his stint with the Hawks, but he’s not a top 4 defenseman and someone of his caliber probably should’ve come cheaper. Not like that matters too much on a 1 year deal but still. Edited July 13, 2022 by Hongbit Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 13, 2022 Author Posted July 13, 2022 Apparently the Wings are signing Ben Chiarot too??? Not a fan... Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 13, 2022 Author Posted July 13, 2022 Well they certainly needed a defensiveminded d-man Quote

Had a few short stretches where he was solid but he was very average over the long haul. Im not sure he would have made it through last year without getting cut had LA not had so many blue line injuries. FWIW, Kings chose to keep 37 year old Alex Edler for 1/$750k (+$750k in incentives) over him. Quote

buddha Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 giroud to ottawa is a good deal. i'd love a first to take on jvr. gaudreau is going to end up in new jersey. Quote
Hongbit Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Tampa locking in some key pieces letting everyone know they aren’t going anywhere. Don’t know their cap situation but I can bet there are going be tough player decisions made every off-season for the next few years. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 13, 2022 Author Posted July 13, 2022 Apparently close to signing Perron?? Quote
Hongbit Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 5 minutes ago, slothfacekilla said: Apparently close to signing Perron?? That would be exactly the kind of top 6 forward that I was talking about earlier. Would be a top PP guy as well. Hopefully the term isn’t longer than 2 years Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 13, 2022 Author Posted July 13, 2022 4 years, $4.75 per for Chiarot, I hate it! Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Chiarot/Seider will be a bear to match up with physically. Perron should boost the PP. I think Stevie wants to be in the playoff chase Quote
