Slavin can. Its about money short and long term though
Orlov has to go. It's HIM we can't afford.I mean Skjei - Slavin top pair? Nikishin on the 2nd, Orlov & Burns gone in a year. Morrow an unknown
Next year
Slavin - Burns
Skjei - Orlov
UFA - Chatty
year after
Skjei - Slavin
Nikishin - Chatty
??? - Morrow?
Orlov can.Can any of Slavin or Nikishin play as effectively on the right side? I know Skjei really can't, but it sure would be nice to keep him, and while Nikishin might take a year or 2 on 3rd pair, gotta think he's eventually gonna want top 4 or out
I had you in the Stanley Cup Finals last year and you stood me up......WOW, THIS TEAM IS AMAZING, BIGGEST WIN OF THE YEAR, VEGAS HAD US AS FAVORITES TO WIN THE CUP!!!
Maybe.
Semi-related, down the stretch i'd like to see them swap orlov and burns (chatty playing on the left) as an experiment.. At least see what slavin-orlov can do, and get burns a slightly lighter load ahead of the playoffs.Orlov is probably the best option to do so. He actually started as an offside defenseman in Russia before he came to the NHL.
Why? If Pesce is gone we can have Skjei & Chatty for probably less combined money than they cost right now. Get some cheaper depth guys as #6/7. After next year Orlov & Burns are off the books ($13M) and potentially Nikishin & Morrow enter the fray on cheaper contractsLol despite the constant whining about Orlov, we can’t afford Skjei long term. Especially if we are keeping Guentzel which seems to be the plan
Jarvis, Necas, and slavin are all getting large raises. Potentially adding in Guentzel’s large number too. We are going to need to fill our 1RD / 2RD for cheap while filling our roster. That will be a lot harder committing 6.5 million for 7 years to skjeiWhy? If Pesce is gone we can have Skjei & Chatty for probably less combined money than they cost right now.

Just stop.Lol despite the constant whining about Orlov, we can’t afford Skjei long term. Especially if we are keeping Guentzel which seems to be the plan
Just stop, your nonsense about orlov is just that. Saying im trolling is rich. Clown level takes on orlov and TDa.Just stop.
If you'd rather have one year of a dumpster fire instead of moving him to sign skjei you're just trolling. Its sad and pathetic.
