I really like the RW strategy to start camp. Lysell's job to lose it seems, and you know they will bring in a couple PTO or whatever that is called again, You don't have to completely build your team in July.
I don't know if it's wishful or not but with a rookie I think Sweeney and Monty need to have a plan B and C.Are we really that confident in Lysell as the 2R to start the season? Personally, I think that's wishful thinking.
I see him giving us 40-50 games with 10-15 goals and an equal number of assists. And I think I might be a little optimistic with those expectations....And that's not a slam on Lysell. That's just accounting for growing pains in your first season in the NHL.
Cap is projected to be 92View attachment 891414
Consider having $17.5m left after Swayman.
Marchand 1 year contract of $4.5?
Can’t imagine they keep all of Geekie, Coyle, and Freddy. Granted the cap goes up and you move Korpi.
Agree 100%. That's why I think we should be kicking the tires on Tarasenko .I don't know if it's wishful or not but with a rookie I think Sweeney and Monty need to have a plan B and C.
It's incredibly wishful thinking. Lysell hasn't played a game in the NHL yet. Even if he's good enough to make the team as 3RW, they have no depth at the position. Right now you have to think they are going with Geekie as 2RW with Marchand-Coyle, and Brazeau is the 3RW with Frederic-Poitras.Are we really that confident in Lysell as the 2R to start the season?

Is that the production you are OK with out of your 2R?
I could get behind a Sprong signing as well. Or Roslovic. Either way, we still need wingers who can score. Between JDB, Heinen and JVR we've lost a decent amount of offense, and slotting in Merkulov and/or Lysell isn't going to cut it.It's incredibly wishful thinking.

While I think Korpisalo will be able to turn it around this year, his $3M cap hit is hurting the team's ability to get some depth at RW. Someone like Daniel Sprong would be a decent add to have on RW to play 2RW or 3RW.
Are the bruins linked to McGroarty or is every team wanting to improve their team in on McGroarty? And the Jets are wanting to maximize the return? Feels like a pipe dream to me.Final touches to the roster is to sign Swayman and somehow trade for McGroarty.
2025 1st + Merkulov + 2026 3rd for McGroarty
Zacha-E. Lindholm-Pastrnak
Marchand-Coyle-Lysell
McGroarty-Poitras-Frederic
Jones-Beecher-Geekie
Zadorov-McAvoy
H. Lindholm-Carlo
Lohrei-Peeke
Swayman
Korpisalo
Pretty deep lineup.
I'm not clear on which player you are referring to?A guy that’s never been able to crack the lineup and has a reputation for being a me-first kinda guy? You could call it wishful thinking lol

McGroaty seems like a great trade option. I like what I've read. Cheve is a turtle. It's the cold weather in Winnipeg.Doesn't help that Cheveldayoff is one of the most patient GMs in the league. Look how long it took him to move Trouba back in the day.

....and then this board commences to blame Coyle because Lysell isn't scoring enough.I think he wins the RW spot next to Coyle

Coyle is up the following year as a UFA.Cap is projected to be 92 or more and Coyle will also be up.
He played the bumper on occasion in junior.Having Lindholm as the a bumper on the PP is extremely important. He has an extremely quick release and accurate shot.
Interesting question...has Zadorov ever played the PP net front in his career?
yeah realized my error and edited my post. coyle up in 26Coyle is up the following year as a UFA.
Personally, I think Beecher is going to show he is ready to take 3C by the end of the season even if the spot isn’t open. But if he isn't planned/talented enough to be your 3c in 2025-2026 season, you move him and re-sign Geekie. If Beecher doesn’t continue to progress this season, flip him in a deal for McGroarty… I don’t want to invest too much time or money into a 4c.
Frederic is likely to price himself out, considering we need scoring wingers up top I’d like to maximize his return by this years deadline.
If Poitras shows he can be 2c, then with 3C covered by Beecher/Geekie, you can then move Coyle during the 2026 draft for a first+ and re-coup the first you traded with Frederic for a top 6 wing this coming winter/spring. This would get you a higher seed pick than you likely would have had if we keep our 2025 first.
That's quite the D
They have a top 3 D with a mix of grit, skill and mean. Why mess with it? It is the teams strength don't weaken it.Do we still need Peeke as much with Zadarov signed?
Might create some money for a wing?
I'm hoping he doesn't cost them 9+I do not think Swayman should get 8 mil at this time in his career. He does have DS backed into a corner with only Korpisalo as a replacement.
6 mil is what he deserves as far as I am concerned.
