24-25 Roster/Cap thread XIX

Gets this guy a couple top-6 gamers this summer for the love of god.

I know a former Bruins captain that packed smaller bags for Florida than Pasta has under his eyes

To celebrate our return home, a corpse of another kind,

Buy low on Pettersson for Lindholm, Beecher, Korpisalo, prospects and picks

Sign Geekie, Marchand, Bennett, Jokiharju

Draft Martone

Zacha-Pettersson-Pastrnak
Marchand-Bennett-Martone
Mittelstadt-Poitras-Geekie
Lauko-Minten-Kastelic
Koepke

Lindholm-McAvoy
Zadorav-Jokiharju
Lohrei-Peeke
Misyul

Swayman
Depietro

IDK ... if you think Lindholm has been poor this year, Pettersson's confidence is completely shot. He looked terrible at the four nations tournament, like he was a lost deer in the headlights. Rumors abound that he is damaged goods, and I don't mean physically.

Yes, he may be 26 yrs of age and be 6 foot 2 , but he only weighs in at 176 lbs (he needs another 20 - 30 lbs). Maybe a change of scenery would help , but I just can't see him going to the dirty areas and engaging physically. He does have talent and has put up points in the past , but I'm willing to bet that was done mostly from the perimeter avoiding contact.

Yup. Part of the other issue with Pettersson is us affording his cap hit. You *have* to move contracts like Lindholm and Korpi to get him here. I doubt Lindholm waives to return to Van. Mittelstadt is your highest cap without protections, and a center which they will want in return. You’d need to add a 1st, 2nd, and some more though for them to bite. I’m okay on not doing that. If you could fleece them with a Poitras package that doesn’t give up too many picks/your future, yea sure why not. Otherwise there are better options to trade for.

Dallas and Toronto will likely be against the cap, maybe we could use some of our late picks and prospects that were are probably never going to play anyway and get Mason Marchment and Nicholas Robertson, add that to signing Ehlers and our left wing is set.

Ehlers-Zacha -Pasta
Marchment-Mittlestadt-Geekie
Robertson-Lindholm-Someone
Lauko-Kuz-Kastelic

 

[Mick Riddleton]

I like what they did on the deadline. They got rid of some slow possession guys for faster puck hounds and skill. I think Sacco wanted to play a more up tempo game and I like the results. This team is fun to watch and is on top of teams fast.

Joker is a better passer/skater than Carlo, Middlestadt has way more skill than Coyle. Lauko and Husi never stop skating. Zada the Lada has emeged as a leader. They gained cap space, so lets see what they do with it.

 

[shelbysdad]

Just for the hell of it...
Let's give it a 20 game try

Geekie-Mittlestadt -Pasta
Marner-Zacha-Lindholm
Lysell-Poitras-Merk
Lauko-Kastelic-Hoots

No way they would play kid line....blah blah blah....lets give it a shot
Can't be much worse than playing Koepke,Brown,Litierri, etc

D
Mac Lindholm (hopefully)
Zad - Joki
Lohrei - Peeke

extra Wotherspoon

And BTW - good bye Sacco, PP coach, Kelly
we need new plans and systems
We shouldn't be this bad

Lindholm and Sway for Peterson and Garland...............moving those two would be a win, win.
