I'd take a chance on Bemstrom. He's got a fantastic shot and a decent amount of skill. Considering how we are lacking a secondary forward who has a great release, he'd be worth a tryout. Could be Tolvanen, but most likely back on waivers in 3 weeks.

I'm not against that, give the kid a shot, if he can't do any better than Tatar and Drouin than so be it.

What's the worst that could happen? Our depth still can't score? Lol
Exactly how I see it. Worst case you have him for 5-10 games and it doesn't help. Best case he gets you 3-4 goals over 10 in a burst and maybe 15 for the season if he gets clicking.

I'm hopeful Tatar and Drouin are going to start playing better after the Kraken win.
Tatar, especially, looked engaged and highly motivated when in a scoring role.
Bednar I think has to realize he's not going to get much use out of Tatar stapeling him to lines 3/4.

Analytically, his impact is greater in his time in Calgary compared to his first two seasons here. Not by a huge margin, but still more. Odds are very high that will degrade over time and fairly quickly. As he is playing today though, it is very comparable. He's just not going to replicate 21-22 ever again.
Bemstrom's issue is that he isn't a bottom 6er. He's a AAAA top 6 guy who in the right situations can pile up some goals due to a great shot. He's just fairly slow, soft and a piss poor defensive player... so when he's not scoring, he's a negative player. He's a worse Victor Olofsson.

He's not any slower than Drouin... probably a touch faster, and has significantly better burst. Not a plus skater overall though at his size. His weapon is his shot though. He has the same basic skill set as Tolvanen.
Not $1m... but the guy to take that chance on was Mittelstadt. He could have been had fairly cheaply before breaking out and the signs were there. He's likely on his way to a 60+ point season (maybe more since he'll get a prime opportunity on the PP now) while being their matchup center.

No... Bemstrom didn't come over from Sweden until 2019 (?).

Personally, I hope Patrick Kane goes to Arizona or Columbus. As long as it's not Colorado, I'll be happy.

The way the NHL network peeps were talking about Kane during panthers/sharks game, sounds like he’s heading to the Panthers

Well Tatar and Drouin won’t be resigned. That’s over 2 mill there. Maybe trade RyJo somehow if he’s not gonna produce, but he won’t have much value

I mean if you’re not brining Toews back so you can trade for Lindholm and resign him, you still need to replace Toews and currently the Avs don’t have another top pair d-man to play with Makar. That’s fixing one problem, creating another

Do we still hate Ross Colton?
He's only on pace for 27 goals.
