Not sure if there's much Stanley Cup buzz with that D core...

Can Pionk play LD? Cause we know Poolman cannot

 

November/January looks like the only away-heavy months. Not surprised about January though, who wants to be here

The problem is that Niku can play left side but that means Pionk with Morrissey and I don’t have enough beer to deal with that

Well we need a top 4 D somehow.  Let's say Connor, Laine, and Copp sign for 19 million combined.  Then we've got about 4 million left to sign 3 players to fill out the roster.... you're not finding a top 4 D in free agency with that money.

The only ways we can feasibly free up money is to trade Perreault, Ehlers, Lowry, or Kulikov. I believe Bryan Little has a no-move clause. I don't think there is a market for Kulikov and that leaves another hole in your defence anyways because he can at least play in your top 6 D. So you're trying to move Perreault on a not-great contract or shipping out one of your young homegrown players in Ehlers or Lowry.

Or maybe Logan Stanley can play in the second pairing and solve all our problems, right?

Given how our roster looks and the inbalance between D and O, I'd seriously consider an Ehlers for Pesce swap.

And Carolina would seriously consider how hard to laugh when you called them with that deal.  JK - I honestly don't know how good Pesce is.

Bobrovsky off to FLA apparently...all the rats fleeing the sinking ship. They say CBJ offered a pile to Panarin to stay but if everyone else is leaving........

Looking more and more like the Central teams are going to load up, Jets will in all probability will be spectators

Small market teams are always going to have a fight to keep their talent with all of the 'big money' and so called 'action'places vying for their services....It's a fact of life in professional sports of today....and one day, if it continues unabated, will be it's undoing
