Goalie Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Probably because a 3rd is better than a 4th and in reality it might be Doom and gloom but they aren't exactly eliminated yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose tonite, they will be 5 points behind the wild card team... who also has three games in hand. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Stafford won't get you much. There will be plenty of players of his ilk available that non-playoff teams will want to dump. They're not going to protect them or they're coming off a contract, so why not?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Our D depth is absolutely putrid and now we are calling up Strait.....probably next to no chance he dresses but Chevy HAS to fix this no later than the off-season...I think he should go the free agency route but I don't care how he does it, we need LHD help yesterday!

Kris Russel, Dan Hamhuis, etc... there were a few 'over-rated' vets that could have been signed last off-season - these are 'Chevy' level signings that would have helped out our third pairing I have to agree with your Alzner idea... Chevy needs to do something to make this team a contender, especially if there's only 1 or 2 seasons left to convince Trouba to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 He could always trade Trouba for some LHD help. That's an option and i think a likely one, especially if theres no extension on July 1st for Trouba.. I think what you will see with Trouba is 2 possibilities , 1... he is traded at the draft or 2. He actually sticks around and signs long term July 1st when he can. Hamhuis wouldn't come here, he wanted to stay out west, this is a guy who refused to move his no move clause when Dallas, the team he signed with eventually wanted to trade for him, Russell? He's basically Mark Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hamhuis wanted to stay out west, Dallas is probably the wrong location. Chevy has taken the Atlanta Thrashers and rebuilt them into the 2011 oilers.

The rest are either elsewhere in the NHL (Ladd,Hainsey,Fehr,Burmi,Bogo,Kane) or out of the league and game entirely. Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Like Goalie said, d prospects are coming. Poolman (assuming he signs), Niku. Stanley in a couple of years. But a better depth guy than straight would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just now, Ducky said: Enstrom Yes. Enstrom also. So he kept the 2 best d men, our captain and 1 of the best 2 way centers in the league, and Pav Stu and Thor (inexcusable there) but for the most part... Keeping Buff Enstrom Wheeler and Little was the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I think Alzner and Greiss and we make the playoffs. Alzner would be expensive. I might trade a 4th for exclusive rights after the season and before UFA starts. I can't see the Caps affording him. Put him with Buff and let Buff roam all he wants. He'll help out the PK big time too. Alzner Buff Morrissey Trouba Enstrom Myers Postma 7th D man and Poolman (if he signs with us) to the farm. I'd waive Stu next year if I couldn't trade him or give him away. edit ... Alzner 6m x 6...Greiss 5m x 3. Edited January 25, 2017 by Ducky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about his brother, but you would think that the prospect of playing in the NHL would be a strong enough enticement? I wonder what they truly think of him.

Sami Niku will be a good 3rd pairing, maybe 2nd if we're lucky by 2018-19 Knee injury at 18 to a borderline guy like Stanley... not good. Kostalek and Kichton have plateaued as AHL, Chiarot seems to be regressing, Jack Glover is a bust Chevy will likely be forced to give up Roslo or Connor to fix our D...

Ducky Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just not 100% sure he does is all. What would you expect zinger to say? Maybe he signs with someone where he has a really good chance at starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Jets are definitely high on Poolman they have tried the last 2 summers to sign him, i have watched him play quite a bit and think eventually he will play in the NHL hopefully for the Jets JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
