Speculation: Armchair GM 2023-24 Season. If we can't say "Rebuild" what do we call it?

If anyone cares...

Tosser! Enjoy!

Looks like Monahan is the guy Salim was referring to when he said something about an on-ice reunion happening.



Seravalli also said the Flames will be around him.

 

[Kahvi]

Flames should wait a day or two and then sign couple of veterans to one year deals to be flipped for picks at the deadline.

 

[Boomstick]

Happy Canada Day, I really am not sure if we'll do much today.
I guess we wait and see.

 

[Boomstick]

Friedman on tv coverages says Calgary and Anthony Mantha are close.
Not sure why we'd be interested. Maybe just to move him at the TDL.
Just nothing long term please and thanks.

Also hearing Zadorov and Lindholm to Boston. Not that any of us really care much about them anymore lol.

Mantha would be a pump and dump. Pure and simple.

 

[User1996]

Mantha fetched a 2nd + 4th at the deadline. Would be fine if he’s a target for a 1-year flip.

 

[User1996]

Chychrun was acquired for a 1st + 2 2nds a year and a half ago…

 

[Boomstick]

1 year $3.5 for Mantha to Calgary.
Not bad.

I wonder if we could deal Poirier and a 4th for Nick Robertson. Sounds like he's on the outs in Toronto and he's a nice buy low candidate with scoring upside

 

[User1996]

Not sure I’m a fan of the player, but chalk it up to probably at least another 2nd/3rd round pick in 2025 for $3.5m. Don’t mind it at all.

 

[Qubax]

Wow! What a great deal!

We play him first line then retain him for 1.75 and send him to a cup contender. Might get a 1st out of it. 4D Chess Conroy.

Would prefer to just up the ante and make a move for Pinto, honestly.

 

[Boomstick]

Wow this is insane already. Lol. So many signings already. Yup, Lindholm and Zadorov are Bruins.

 

[Boomstick]

Wow. Sharangovich is here to stay.

Hmm 2nd year is 1 way contract.

 

[User1996]

Assuming no other movement, below is a lineup that I feel roughly makes sense. Playing Rooney as 4C effectively eliminates any legitimate opportunity for Pelletier to begin to establish himself. Post TDL, Pelletier jumps to Kadri’s LW. Not sure what to make of how this roster will fair.

Mantha - Kadri - Kuzmenko
Coleman - Backlund - Coronato
Huberdeau - Zary - Sharangovich
Lomberg/Hunt - Pospisil - Pelletier
Lomberg/Hunt, Rooney

Weegar - Miromanov
Bahl - Andersson
Bean - Pachal/Solovyov
Pachal/Solovyov, Hanley

Wolf
Vladar

I do.
It’s callled being a 70 point team.

 

[Mobiandi]

This will go down as one of the worst free agent frenzies of all time. Repeat of 2016

Looking at some of term that guys got… wow.

 

[User1996]

I don’t disagree. A rookie netminder, career .894 goalie coming off hip surgery, and a AHL journeyman with average to below average numbers playing behind a D, that on paper has two bottom pair players taking up spots on your first two pairs should guarantee that.


But it’s just a weird gut feeling that they could overachieve - the F group looks “good enough” to not be complete bottom of the barrel when you look at other rosters.

That’s is though in terms of how it looks today.

Injuries.
I imagine Kuzmenko will have a different home by March.
Does Kadri want to stick it through the garbo we’ll be slugging through?

We’re going to look like an AHL roster by March. I’d be willing to bet on it.

 

[herashak]

I think with the worst teams having made some signings we’ve got as good a shot as anyone at Hagens then Mckenna

 

[Lunatik]

Just guessing here... if everyone is healthy opening night

Huberdeau - Sharangovich - Mantha
Zary - Kadri - Kuzmenko
Coleman - Backlund - Coronato
Pelletier - Pospisil - Lomberg
x: Rooney

Weegar - Andersson
Bahl - Miromanov
Solovyov - Bean
x: Pachal/Hanley

Wolf/Vladar

I mean if we trade, sure. I think the Sens have said they'll match offersheets though.
