HOLY SHIT...

 

[The Gongshow]

Gotta think we still keep Foote and Colton. The other kids might be gone.

We still need ppl for 3rd line..Joseph Colton ??
But 4th line could be sick,but from other side mych muuuuch slower than we had past 2 years

Colton - Stephens - Joseph ????
Maroon - Pierre - Perry

(idk about Pierre's speed), but god damn that will be the biggest pain in the ass 4th line to play against

I don't like Stephens in that third line, to be honest.
I'd rather play with Colton as a center, then Joseph and Raddysh.

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

Honestly would rather take a flyer on gusev than perry.

always thought he was a pos … not to mention he’s now been part of 2 straight finals losing teams lol

Haven't seen a lot of Colton at C, no?
I think the 3rd line revolves around him though. Either that or let him gel with Stamkos and have Cirelli be the 3rd line anchor

The guy was great in both those loses and really pestered us. He wasn't the sole reason for those teams losses.

Dallas top 6 not producing
Price with an .800 save % and no offense

Perry was on two losing teams, but he was a great role player on those teams.

JBB has his work cut out for him with the young guys. ABB, Raddysh, and Katchouk all require waivers to be sent down and we dont have cap to keep them as scratches. would be poor asset management if he tries to go the waivers route and loses them for nothing.

That's another interesting possibility.
I think Coop with try to play with Colton and Stammer in the same line

The kid showed promise. He played on the 2nd line (due to Killer injury) and thats where he scored the big cup winning goal

They'll need to find the right balance for their 2nd and 3rd lines next season

This is a decision that gets made in training camp. Let ABB, Katchouk, Raddysh, Smith, Stephens compete for the last 3 forward spots and find a home for the other two through trade (or waivers).

[The Gongshow]

It wouldn't be the worst thing to trade one for a decent pick. Obviously we wanna keep our young talent here but we are in full cup window now and sacrifices have to be made.

 

[Rschmitz]

Looks like we have a remake of the dirt line (Andreychuk-Taylor-Dingman) from 2004 for our fourth line

True story and I'm sure Coop will do it properly.
Meanwhile...our 4th line, with Perry,Maroon and Bellemare...it's a bloody line ahahahahahah

 

[sawchuk1971]

is saad too expensive?

 

[Flat Ronnie]

I want to see our 4th line go up against the Isles 4th line now!

 

[Rschmitz]

is saad too expensive?

For us? We are done for sure

 

[The Gongshow]

is saad too expensive?

Oh, most definetly. Probably get anywhere from like 2.5-4. We can only afford vet min and sign kids to min deals at this point. We were never in on any big UFA's

 

[Rschmitz]

Perry-Bellamore-Maroon

This is the way

and an average age of 34.

Can't wait to see this line out there

Yes but the age is only a number.
Ask Jagr or Ovie for infos xD

 

[The Macho King]

and an average age of 34.

I mean - I just don't see what the issue is with the deal. Perry still has some talent. Hands are still there. Still a piece of shit. Ideally we sit one of him or Maroon most games, but this gives us some flexibility and depth, plus a guy to "win it" for - which I think has value on a team that's had a ton of recent success.
