I’m looking forward to DM addressing the need for a 1-C in free agency. The cost in trading for one would be prohibitive. We haven’t been able to develop one. I don’t see Cooley doing well against the bigger, stronger 1st line centers.

BA should jump at the opportunity to win a free agent bidding war starting w next year’s FA season. It might take a few years to land one.

I don't think you are going to find a 1C in free agency, unless you think a player like Hayton is a 1C. Maybe a old C that use to be a 1C could happen.

A #1C? Aren't we talking about a center between Keller and Schmaltz? So he really doesn't need to be the play driver, just a complementary defensive type who can keep up with the play and contribute some offense

He’ll always be a prospect in our hearts, Mag. We want him to be foooooorever young, to be forever young. Really want to live forever. Foooooorever young.
The new rt is funnier than the gentler version...

We got the cap and want more vets.
Ceci is the shits for any team thinking SC, but on Utah with one year remaining on his contract he would look like Bobby Orr.

I screwed up, it was Top Shelf Hockey, his latest one. He didn't really elaborate, just said he thought it was a good idea.
Top Shelf? Don't waste your time on that guy.

LOL! Why? Because you don't like his opinion? No different than any other HF poster. Hell I even read the nonsense you post here!

I got the impression that the rumor of GMBA asking about Ceci was before the Sergachev trade and he was spit balling around the league when TSH said that Utah has shown interest in the past.

I would rather just give Soderstrom the full year on the 3rd line to see what we have. If he loses a few games for us it’s ok. It won’t be the difference between us going to the finals or bowing out in the conferences. Let’s see if he can do it. If not, we have Sergashev and 2 more D in the pipeline anyway.

The only position (excepting a chance to land a game changing F) that I would hope to upgrade is goalie.
