You a Les Paul guy? If so, do you have back problems too? Those things are HEAVY

A possible top 6 with Hughes, Bratt, Debrincat, and Gaudreau. Mites on ice? Yeah not crazy about that.

I’d like this if it wasn’t for your pickguard comment. #teampickguard. Wish my LP had P90s though.

 

[Eggtimer]

Hold off on DeBrincat. Wait and see on Johhny instead. I know that pick #2 will have to go probably if we trade for Debrincat ,but I would rather keep assets and try for Johnny.

If they trade for Debrincat there is no way they also sign Gaudreau

 

[OmNomNom]

Bring back Nikita Popugaev

homeboy had his PTO nullified due to family issues

 

[Nocashstyle]

Let’s hope that would be the case

I mean no one would be able to keep up with them. Also that’d never happen because we wouldn’t be able to afford it. It’s Cat or Johnny. Johnny’s the one that comes for free so him

yes , pass on that. I can’t see us being able to afford all thise guys. It’s either the Cat or Johhny . Unless maybe if we trade Bratt but that woild suck and can’t see Fitz doing that.

thats right they will trade for matty

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

if Kuemper's eye is okay, I would sign him in an instant. He is still a really good goalie.

 

[Eggtimer]

Let’s hope that would be the case

Why? Gaudreau is better than the Cat and wouldn’t cost assets to get . Johhny is older but i thnk he has a lot of elite hockey left in him

Johnny seems like the type of guy to age well to me

 

[glenwo2]

I prefer Johnny to Cat.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I would take DeBrincat over Johnny. Younger and a finisher. Johnny is amazing at driving play but we already excel at that, we need goal scorers and DeBrincat has been one of the top-10 goal scorers in hockey since he entered the league.

The question of whether it's better to pay assets for Cat and get Johnny for just cap space is a different question entirely.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Yeah, I've been pounding the table for DeBrincat more than most here but between the two I rather have Gaudreau because of losing no assets + he fits this team's system like a glove too. It's not like you're signing a hulking power forward who can't skate over DeBrincat.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the thing is Gaudreau isnt guaranteed to sign here. I would agree he is a better overall player, but he is also 4-5 years older as well.

I like the pickguard for purely aesthetic reasons. I picked up a replica Billie Joe Armstrong Strat clone for my birthday last year. Was debating buying my dad an Olympic white on white Squier since the Jimi Hendrix colors were always on my wish list. And I've always liked the look of the Ibanez Jem, a few years back they released a cheaper version. Although I really don't play much nowadays.

 

[StevenToddIves]

The issue is all those other additions are meaningless if Oettinger falters and that’s certainly possible. Yes he has a good pedigree but at the end of the day he’s a young pretty unproven goalie that could blow up next year. I just would not accept the risk of giving up an unprotected 1st+ for that.



I mean having both Dougie and Fox is FAR from an issue. Sure it’s expensive but they’re worth it.

How many years away are we from people saying I was reaching because I wanted Adam Fox with our #41 overall pick? We took Nathan Bastian. I had Foxy ranked #30 or #31, I think.

 

[Hisch13r]

I’d rather take the chance and miss than give up significant assets and throw away the chance

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I would take DeBrincat over Johnny. Younger and a finisher. Johnny is amazing at driving play but we already excel at that, we need goal scorers and DeBrincat has been one of the top-10 goal scorers in hockey since he entered the league.

100% agreed with this, if it's 1 to 1, it's DeBrincat for me. If it's every factor considered, it's Gaudreau.

 

[Hisch13r]

I mean no one should be saying it because Fox was never playing here. He was forcing he way to the Rangers no matter what

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I wouldn’t complain if we landed DeBrincat but I would prefer Johnny + whoever at #2. But it’s no guarantee we could sign him.
