If we could froze him and unfroze him in 3 years maybe.

 

[Seb]

Pass.

 

[Gustave]

Let’s see how we can give Dach some wingers, he’ll need it.

 

[habsfan891]

I have zero interest in any free agents tbh and unless we make a trade there is zero spots for them on our roster

 

[le_sean]

I’d like to see Alexandre Carrier come in and then trade David Savard for a decent young player. Carrier fills the role of veteran RD that can PK and help a young LD

 

[Kents polished head]

Any winger capable of playing on the top 6 on ideally a 2 years deal. 3 max.

Perron makes a ton of sense, even though I think the guy I would target is Tarasenko.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Might get a top 6 W on a short term deal.

And get some sandpaper

 

[Tyson]

Carrier would be a nice add.

Bingo. We should sign no one - not even depth players, of which we have too many already. I suspect we'll target some tweener AHL/NHL forward that we could call up in case of injury, but that's it.

We're still years away from our competitive window and do not need to overpay for aging talent.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Any interest in Jakub Vrana? I remember being high on the guy when he was with the Capitals.

Management is only interested in short term deals

Older players on expensive but short term contracts that can fill in on our top 6:

Perron
P Kane
Stamkos

 

[Weber Fan]

Jake Debrusk

Looks like TBL will sign Stamkos with all the cap space they managed to gain today.

Or guentzel. They’ll also need a dman

 

[sampollock]

Not sure KH will sign a UFA
Too coin and term

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not sure who Montreal is targeting, but I like William Carrier for our 4th line. There's a number of top 6 players available; hopefully we sign one.

 

[c3z4r]

we have too many unmovable players under contract for next season, so I don't think they'll try to sign anybody for more than a season.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Don't expect anything other than a couple bottom 6 forwards. We still need to give all the important minutes to the kids next year.

Stamkos

Stamkos scored 40 goals last year

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Forwards (12):
Suzuki, Slaf, Caufield, Roy, Dach, Newhook, Gallagher, Anderson, Armia, Evans, Dvorak, RHP. Maybes are Beck, Heineman, Kapanen.

Defensemen (8): Matheson, Guhle, Harris, Struble, Xhekaj, Savard, Kovacevic, Barron. Should be: Hutson. Maybes: Mailloux, Reinbacher

Goalies: Montembeault, Primeau

Signing a defenseman would be absolutely looney, we need to trade at least 2 of them BEFORE the start of the year. We could go for a middle six forward or two on short term contracts and reevaluate keeping them at the deadline.

That’s Bergy talk.

 

[HomaridII]

3 year deal for one of :

Stamkos
Marchessault
Kane

If none of them bite:

Jake Debrusk

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That’s Bergy talk.

No. Bergy gave important minutes to useless plugs.
