If this is True...



I am seriously pissed off with limp dick Doug.

They tried and couldn't make the money work because Krug used his NTC. I mean they could put Krug on waivers but that is no guarantee that he gets picked up

Flyers could have taken him, so he would be picked up without question. Ontop of that we could move Scandella to Philly, there's lots of moves that could be made to get us a f***ing free #1 LD. Granted I know he's not a franchise #1 D but he sure as f*** would be our #1 LD easily.

Sanheim is not what we need, and is barely any improvement on what we have already.

To get a real 1st pairing LD will cost a big chunk of our assets. Definitely not the right time to make that type of move.

Yeah, I’m not sure 8 years of Sanheim is what we need at this point.

Exactly.

He is someone with very limited offensive capabilities, and isn't exactly a defensive stalwart either. I have no idea why some people consider him an acceptable #1 LD, he simply is not. He may be a passable 2nd pairing D, on a good day, but definitely nothing more.

And his contract is just :barf , for what he actually brings.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Red wings are likely to have more blues #1 picks in their lineup next year than we will.

okay maybe not. after taking yamo in order to get kostin, wings bought out yamo and non-tendered kostin. yikes. folks think yzerman is a good gm why exactly?

They're still going to sign Kostin. They just didn't give him a QO so he can't file for arbitration.

EDIT:Though it would be an all time hilarious moment if he signed somewhere else and the Wings were just stuck with Yamamoto’s buyout hit.

 

[BlueOil]

klim got his $2m for yzerman, a little pricey for what he brings, but everyone seems to be adding grit this FA season

Easy to overpay a little bit when you've still got 26mil in cap space after signing Kostin.

Yzerman got him signed today. Still. Overpaying Kostin as UFA doesn’t really answer my question.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I guess the buy-out was the cost of getting that exclusive negotiation window with Kostin. The risk of him turning down a legit offer was pretty low, for a guy who is at risk of nit having a job at all. It’s not brilliant and it’s not stupid.

I think the bigger criticism is going to be whether Kostin is able to justify his salary by having a regular effective role on that team.

 

[542365]

It would not shock me to see Klim have a Barbashev-like breakout in the second year of that deal and get big time paid on the next contract.

Perhaps, but he isn’t someone I’d want to pay. Not a fan.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

RoR to Nashville

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

ROR is now the enemy. Things you hate to see.

 

[BlueDream]

Welp I can no longer root for ROR. That’s a shame.

Also don’t really understand the contract for either party.

 

[Mike Liut]

If he looks as bad in Nashville as he did last year with us, they’ll be regretting this one.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I would not have wanted to go more than 3 years for RoR.

 

[Mike Liut]

What’s this rate limit exceeded crap on Twitter? They are limiting your refreshes now?

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Most I would’ve wanted to give ROR is 3x4 and that was probably pure nostalgia. His performance was a big red flag, both here and in TOR.

 

[eibyyz]

Reavo is rumored to sign with the Leaves for 3y? Did not see that coming, I honestly thought it was even money the big lug would retire. Huh.

 

[Mike Liut]

I didn’t want him back at all. He looks old and slow and disinterested in the regular season.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Has Reaves been a factor whatsoever for the last three stops?

No.
