Wow adarius bowman in Blue and gold again... I can’t tell whether to laugh or cry ha

So we love criner for a big playoff performance but lafrance is overrated because he just had one big playoff game... ok cool

I guess if the whole discussion is about forwards... we're probably looking at TOI among the league's forwards... Did I really have to explain that...??

$2.9 million and an RFA? Boone Jenner for the same cap hit as Shawn Matthias and Marko Dano... I'll take it.

You're getting 'play' and be good mixed up... I'm sure all these guys will play for the Moose at some point... just like Blomqvist and Kostalek... Right now, the only guy looking like he has a shot at being a top AHL or 3rd pair NHL defence man is Samberg... the rest are all question marks whatever we want to believe... The rest may be great, may be ok or may be nothing... again, hence the 'if'...

Except every other team has done this as well... and found receivers... This is like the old Mack 'we don't need FA' argument If there's one comment in their favour, its Flanders... but he's like hybrid SB/RB

Criner would be a huge 'meh' from me - I'd take Lafrance way before him, at worst he's got the right passport

Was just going to post this... I'll never judge a guy by how he plays for Tortorella... you either fit his system or you don't... Jenner would be a great add and still RFA After that... its pretty sparse - either old, average or bad contracts... Plekanec would be neat to see as 4C with Roslo and Connor - and Petan is French... so...

NCAA... different development... Poolman, Copp, etc didn't get early contracts either iirc Anyway, unless something drastic happens the Jets have a solid AHL core... hopefully Samberg and one other can make the jump to NHL

Well if you say he's absolutely not going to get injured or flop... I guess that settles it. Whew...!! Our last project with enormous upside was Jack Glover...

Rangers would have to eat salary then... no one's picking up a Ben Chiarot for $4.3 million a season

Hence the original post about having a good Moose team for a long time...

Concussion would make sense why he wasn't starting against Coyotes...

I'm worried that we're moving on from all three though... I'd feel pretty good about our ratio with Adams/Dressler/Harris-Normand/LaFrance-Flanders/Givens-Coates/Demski-Wolitarsky

So which OL would you sign then? Comfortable with Neufeld/Couture? My gut says keep Bond - sign Demski and Lafrance - I know thats not the plan though... 2 OL, RB, 2 REC, S, DE/DT rotation

Do you get out of his contract if you trade for him after he's cleared?

Like I said 'IF' they come through - only sure thing I see there is Samberg... everyone else COULD be sleeper picks except Glover, he's done.

Thoughts on Konar?

Goveia and McManus were part of admins that had great REC pipelines... Rigmaiden too...

Yeah but I've never been a huge fan of his game - but I wouldn't be upset if he was a bomber, still a massive upgrade over Hurl...

Only MLB left I'd look at is Larry Dean... and I'm not sure he's an upgrade on JSK Adam Konar has got to be our primary target right now...

Should have a good Moose team for a long time if any D prospects come through... Think Niku will be with the big club next year - not sure who is in line after him though

I'm wondering when Hutch was due to lose his waiver free status...

Brendan Smith placed on waivers... man, that guy looked so good last year

You should talk to PoMo then... his 4th line plays 8-9 minutes a game... There has been maybe a handful of games where Lowry has the most ice time - Scheif and Wheeler - our first line regulars - are among the highest TOI in the league... then Little... There is a clear 1st line and a clear 4th line on this team - depending on the game, the 2nd and 3rd juggle for time
