Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

Not a fan of keeping Killer on Leo's line. One is a bright, fast, skilled young center and the other is an aging, slow, low-effort bum who hasn't been good since he was on the Stamkos line. Can we not put Leo between Goat and Fabbri? THAT would be interesting

That would make too much sense.

I really had no interest in Four Nations but now I’m excited just to see Leo play with somebody other than Alex Killorn

Watch leo get lined w nylander or f forsberg and get like 5 pts in 2 games

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I’d like to see him coached by someone other than Cronin.

It doesn’t even have to be a good coach! Just a decent one!

I am really hoping the 4 nations is a positive experience for Leo. He needs a nice confidence boost, and playing with skilled countrymen could certainly provide that. Would be interesting if he stands out positively and looks like a different player compared to when with the Ducks, perhaps that could be Cronin's coaching deathknell.

Apparently Sweden’s coach loves him, so I’m sure it will be a good experience

 

[ohcomeonref]

Stapling a 4th liner and Killorn to Leo seems cruel. Why not let him build chemistry with Gauthier?

Birdy told me he will be playing with Adrian Kempe. Let's see if this holds true

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Let’s just hope Leo is healthy when the tournament comes. That’s far from a guarantee playing on this team.

Old man Cronin will say that has been tried already and failed

You mean Cronin will never try something twice if it isnt working

Memory check:
Dump and chase
Man on Man D with wide spacing
“I don’t know” in press conference
Starting Killorn / Strome in OT
Zegras on the F*?? wing

I’ve pretty much accepted this will be the last season here for Vatrano and Dumoulin but I really hope they can keep Fabbri and McGinn around

Agree mostly. Vatrano I'm 50/50 on what they'll do. Dumoulin is for sure gone. Fabbri and McGinn are solid depth players if only they weren't injured so often but should be re-signed.

I think they keep 1 of Vatrano and Fabbri. But I also can see a world were both are let go and they tr big game hunting again this offseason. I can see McGinn being resigned for the 4th line.

Mcguin is gone unless he's league minimum... Dude just busted his knee. Many injuries. Not good

 

[DavidBL]

That's fair, he hasn't really been able to stay healthy his entire time here.

Unfortunately this

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Which sucks because hes a heart and sould kinda guy.. If only he could stay healthy.. Dude hustles.. Young guys can learn alot from him

We have tons of cap space. It’s time to start overpaying a bit on the larger more skilled mcginn versions this off-season I hope

 

[cheesymc]

I’m not even sure league minimum would be needed for him next year. He will likely take a two way deal. He’s a dime a dozen player now and far from his double digit goal years. You can find his type via waivers, like Noah Gregor who is well under 30s with less injury concerns.

 

[All Mighty]

We have added Nesterenko to the roster to bring us to 13 healthy forwards for our upcoming short road trip.

 

[Ducks DVM]

He’s a career 0.29PPG player producing at 0.31PPG this year.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with his play, it’s been his health. If he can prove he’s healthy, he will get a contract. If.
