FUCCCKKKKKKK
Myers on a 1-way? WTF?
That's true. High tax, high cost of living teams like Toronto tend to pay their tweener likely AHL guys more money to get them signed. No salary cap in the AAll this means is he's guaranteed that $$ even playing in the AHL, it won't hurt their cap.
I think once Girgensons shows how solid he is, we'll be fine.Jeez. I thought we all agreed losing Motte wouldn't be that big a deal?
Girgensons is the Motte 4th pine replacement. We gouda. We don't need to sign all these min deal 4th liners. We either need to get a top 6 winger or an actual good 3rd line wingerI think once Girgensons shows how solid he is, we'll be fine.
Yeah. Motte was good but he's easily replaceable. I actually prefer Girgensons because he's bigger.I think once Girgensons shows how solid he is, we'll be fine.
Motte was also quite injury prone, so I can see why BriseBois would want to move on.Yeah. Motte was good but he's easily replaceable. I actually prefer Girgensons because he's bigger.
Girgensons - Glendening - Chaffee/Eyssimont
That has potential to be annoying for opposing teams. Ideally, I'd like Sheary sent out. A third of
Eyssimont/Chaffee - Paul - Atkinson
Is solid depth. We just need a 2RW.
Yall need to get over this. It's not gonna happen. This is more or less our squad.Is solid depth. We just need a 2RW
For salary purposes, he's there or it's Ace. Whichever works but unless Goncalves shows more, it's likely Chaffee in the mix.Motte was also quite injury prone, so I can see why BriseBois would want to move on.
As long as Chaffee isn't on the 3rd line, I'm good with our bottom 6. Him being on the 3rd line made us look like Junior B team against the Panthers in the playoffs.
And yes we still need a 2RW
Interested to see if Goncalves, Geekie, Duke, or anyone else from the forward prospect pool can really push this year. I get this regime doesn't like inserting younger Syracuse guys into the lineup if it isn't necessary, but it would be nice to have cost controlled, actually solid forwards contributing again. Chaffee is a 4th liner and can fill in on the 3rd line when we're playing the Ducks, Blue Jackets, Penguins, etc of poor teams but otherwise, he shouldn't be there.For salary purposes, he's there or it's Ace. Whichever works but unless Goncalves shows more, it's likely Chaffee in the mix.

I doubt it. I don't think we are rolling into the season with Brisebois wanting to get younger and remain competitive where 800k Atkinson, 30pt Sheary, or Paul are our 2nd line RW. I didn't see us moving on from Stamkos so I won't be surprised beyond belief again, but it's incredibly audacious to think with Howard, Geekie, a 2026 and 2027 1st round pick on the forecast, we don't try for a young 2RW.Yall need to get over this. It's not gonna happen. This is more or less our squad.
He was vanilla as f***. Part of the reason why our bottom six was so ineffective and predictable. Him and Glendening are effective utility guys in the league but stacking them on a line together is basically a 45 second breather until someone with two ounces of creativity steps back onto the ice. They play mirror image games for the most part. Their games aren't built for much more, hence the 1 year sub 1 million deals he's getting. Might be good for 10 goals but so is Chaffee. You're essentially holding roster spots for PK guys and we have four capable already in Glendening, Cirelli, Paul, and Hagel.He was only useful at killing PK’s I don’t get why everyone’s so upset lol
Pretty sure we're at the point of building up our future assets and no longer trading them.I didn't see us moving on from Stamkos so I won't be surprised beyond belief again, but it's incredibly audacious to think with Howard, Geekie, a 2026 and 2027 1st round pick on the forecast, we don't try for a young 2RW.
If not, what a season we are in for with this top 6. Atkinson had 11g and 11a at ES last season. For those wanting to get better 5v5, yeah, good luck.
And no, I'm not putting down Atkinson or the signing, I just don't think we are done this summer and roll into the season with Sheary or Atkinson in our top 6.

Buying years of UFA
We'll see but a hole in the top 6 is only filled through trade at this point. We have assets now that can get us a legit top 6 winger. I'll be disappointed if we head into this season with Atkinson and Sheary as our 2/3RWs.Pretty sure we're at the point of building up our future assets and no longer trading them.
I raise you Hagel. Looking at Nashville Jeannot, the signs were there. I think he's a better fit in a slower team that plays heavy, but here he didn't fit, didn't play well, etc. A total flop all around. Joseph has been traded again while Nick Paul is playing above his 3M cap hit. Sergachev trade just netted us a good return. If the player coming back is a fit and Brisebois out of some weird fetish for a player or desperation doesn't pull another Jeannot debacle, could land us a 2nd line winger.I don’t think JBB is going to trade more assets not after what happened with Jeannot.
What does Patches look like these days? Always thought he was underrated in his prime, but that was a long time ago.Lundkvist is an intriguing name. I think he plays right side.
Two players I would try for the 2nd line that I think would be "cheap":
Max Pacioretty and Viktor Arvidsson
