This is what I was talking about with Blumel. They give AHL raises for league minimum in the NHL.

 

[piqued]

He looked good. Certainly had a bigger impact than Damiani

 

[Smelling Salt]

not enuff liney in this chat

 

[Magic Mittens]

Depending on the cost, I'd be happy adding Carrier. Would be even more happier if we moved Faksa and added Carrier

Now that right there would be a great move.

I think Arvidsson would be a decent pickup as well. Another mid six winger like Mush.

f*** that diving piece of shit.

Are you talking about Arvidsson or Marchment

We already have Marchment we don't need another one

Id rank the prospective available high end, 2023 Duchene like “prove its” so far as 1. Skinner, 2. Arvidsson, 3. Mantha. Surely there’ll be more available soon, and I’d prefer Duchene back, if possible, over any of them.

 

[M88K]

Really shouldn't be wasting any cap space on forwards until they fix the busted ass dcore.
3 NHL quality dmen( counting Harley) is a bigger problem than the forward situation.

 

[Kcb12345]

Need this SCF to end already. Scheduling completely killed the momentum of it it feels like an entirely separate thing from the rest of the playoffs now

Hopefully Panthers end it tonight I'm ready for the offseason to begin

I’m sure his defending could be better but Skinner can stick the puck in the net. He is worth it on a prove it “duchene” type deal. Sounds like he will be bought out

Any chance Nill wants to trade for Roy’s rights and sign him early?

 

[Kcb12345]

Oh boy...I'm gonna guess that there's an 80% chance he's gonna be one of Nill's top choices to sign

You can't put this shit out into the universe. Especially with Nill's noted love of geriatrics. You're going to will it into happening.

No.

Suter was supposed to fill in while Liam, Grush, and the other 5 guys they drafted were ready. Grush is gone, and Bishel should be here no later than mid season (although I think they need to just live with his learning curve for cap reasons). I don't see the others, like Kyrou or Tristan B, ready for a few years, and they may all be busts for all we know.

We also know Nill has a tendency to bargains in UFA, so signing an older guy will probably happen again this year, since we are still in our "Cup window." I think we take a step back, either missing the PO or being an no. 8 seed.

For dman I'd go after Desharnais from the Oilers. He'd be a good addition for that 5/6 role.

I've actually been thinking about bringing him up recently. With the emergence of Broberg, who likely won't be back in Edmonton. He should be cheap as well. I think his projected contract was $1.5 million.

If you do buyout Suter, Bichsel and Desharnais would be a good 3rd pair.

My thoughts too. Young, decent and will get an ok contract.

 

[Troy McClure]

But then I'd have to learn how to spell his name.

No one spells anyone’s name right anyways. So many people can’t spell Duchene lol

 

[too374]

They kinda need Lundkvist to work, he will be cheap and we have no rhd. The idea that we can just get players for 750k in fa is a bit insane. Look at the likes of pouliot, that's what you get at league minimum. Lundkvist was actually a good play driver over the course of last season more than you can say watching the limited time pouliot filled in.

 

[BG44]

I don't think anyone is penciling in a league minimum player for Top 6 minutes. This coaching staff wants Lundkvist out of the lineup and THAT is a role for a league minimum, 7th defender ... a Hanley replacement.

There's no reason to pay Lundqvist a million or more dollars to sit on the bench if they made the same decision about Dellandrea.

Also ... to suggest that it's crazy to replace Lundkvist with a league minimum player is a little strange considering it already happened. The coaching staff trusted Petrovic over him.
