Shame

Damn. Doesn't mean he won't ultimately sign with the Blackhawks, but unfortunate they couldn't come to an agreement.

What I would want:

Teravainen
Marchessault
Liljegren
And a goalie (Samsonov perhaps)

Teravainen-Bedard-Marchessault
Hall-Dickinson-Kurashev
Reichel-Athanisiou-Mikheyev
Foligno-Lafferty-Donato
(Nazar in a big role in the AHL)

Vlasic-Jones
Korchinski-Liljegren
Del Mastro/Kaiser-Murphy

Mrazek
Random goalie who is better than Söderblom

And what I think will happen:

Teravainen
And some random defencemen

Teravainen-Bedard-Hall
Reichel-Athanisiou-Kurashev
Mikheyev-Dickinson-Nazar
Foligno-Lafferty-Donato

Vlasic-Jones
Korchinski-Murphy
Kaiser/Del Mastro- A random defencemen

Mrazek
Future Vezina winner Arvid Söderblom

Either way it will be a better team than last year but it's not serious to have Reese Johnson/Arvid Söderblom type players in an NHL line up and hopefully Kyle realizes that.

Marchessault is definitely the dream but I'd probably want a power forward off the other flank. Is Lev possibly going to play for us next year?

 

[Chuck Testa]

hopefully they’ll find someone who’s capable of running a powerplay correctly

 

[scorehawks]

Louie Debrusk. LW, 27, can skate and score...how about 5x $6M?

If we’re gonna do something stupid then do this.

Lukas Reichel and exclusive rights to the Kevin Musto Scouting Service should be enough to get a trade done.

 

[Pez68]

BWC is the guy on YouTube constantly making videos about his Russian finance

Nope. You'd never guess his type. Lol

 

[Kevin Musto]

Live to die another day

That's a steal for Ottawa.

Kaner back to Detroit

Edmonton is allegedly considering Stan for GM... so terrible

On one hand, Bowman does not deserve a job in hockey. On the other hand, I really hate Edmonton and this would tank them spectacularly.

Can you choose which first you give up in an offer street situation where you have multiple?

Nope. Offer sheets are required to be your own pick

Ok that kind of spoils the idea for us I think.

The Shane Pinto idea wouldn't be too bad. For a high 2nd? He could be a good top 6 fit with size and skill to add

I'd rather have a terrible GM not named Stan Bowman be the one to sink them.

Not qualifying Anderson is not pretty mind boggling. wtf is Davidson so scared of arbitration or something. What bad UFAs are they about to overpay instead

Right, not much for scoring but he looked like he could stick in the NHL in a checking role.

Is or isn’t?

And who cares?

 

[2024CubsAreReallyBad]

Let's see what blue light specials Kmart Kyle brings this year.....

 

[deytookerjaabs]

And who cares?

We got a roster full of forwards who can't score.....AND can't check.

At least Joey could do one of those things.

I’m thinking long term, not next year. Sorry, Joey Anderson doesn’t move the needle for me.

It's awful asset management. I have no idea how bad asset management is "long term" oriented.
