Speculation: Armchair GM Thread

[darth5]

I still can't believe they did an 8 yr contract on Saros. I could have lived with 6 yrs, he probably has 4 near peak years. The last 4 on that contract, ouch.

Apparently, Columbus hasn't gotten the offers they want for a one-for-one deal for Jiricek so they're now listening on packages as well.

Fortunately, we could be strong in that category. I also wonder if they'd be interested in Chrona as their goalie pipeline seems pretty bare.

Kemell/Evangelista
Better of the 1sts of VGK/TBL
Chrona

Maybe a Nyquist or Sissons as well?

Too much

 

[Armourboy]

We have Saros until pretty much the whole society has collapsed so I think we'd be fine.

Saros might be good for the first 4 years of that deal. You better have someone ready to transition by year 5 which means you need a couple of prospects working up now.

On the bright side he'll probably be a more effective 5v5 player those last 4 than Stamkos currently is.

f***, that's not bright at all. Nevermind.

I think the 8 years was inevitable. Just how it works with core players these days. That's a major reason a lot of us didn't want him re-signed at all.

Apparently, traded for some guy from Chicago.

Brian Rolston’s kid is the savior.

Makes sense - we lost two bodies in Fabbro and Tomasino, need some depth for Milwaukee. Sounds like he was a healthy scratch for their AHL team.

AHL depth. Gotta backfill the roster decimation that’s happening down there

Priorities…

Trotz purposely did most of the decimating of the NHL roster
