what makes you say they will?…. I don’t think I’ve seen any links to him but I did take a break for an hour or so
Th
Our management has repeatedly stated they want to create a sustainable winning team. They’re not going to blow their brains out on win-at-all-costs scenarios.
They are putting pieces in place while trying to deal with the fact we’ll be up against a serious cap deficiency starting next season.
I think a lot of posters overestimated what was going to be possible in FA this year. The cap went up, and all teams had more money to spend. It’s the most competitive off-season we’ve seen in years.
I’m also not super thrilled about where we are (the D still needs work), but *all things considered* they did well to avoid the over the top stupid stuff today.
And once TB was in on Guentzel - we were always going to lose that. They don’t pay taxes in Florida. You can’t compete against that advantage.
That’s a big part of the reason Florida teams have won three of the last five cups.
This.

Exactly.
There was complete silence around the Debrusk/Heinen/Sherwood signings too. Though I think someone in the Canucks media brought up Carrier's name as a potential D target leading up to free agency.There's been NOTHING from the media about Carrier since last night when they said Nashville was making progress with him. And then they blew their load on a few big names and can't afford him anymore.

It's clear from the day's activity that of those five mystery players in the A that Alvin said could push for spots, roughly zero will be in the opening night line-up (barring injury, of course).
Maybe Abbotsford will take a step, with the development it's reasonable to expect from Bains, Karlsson, Raty, Sasson, Nielsen, Woo, and perhaps a couple of others.

Could see it but were running out of roster spots and even after being bought out he probably gets a dumb contract given Zucker Toffoli etc

With the Guentzel signing being almost all signing bonus does that mean it's all "made" in Florida so it's no taxes? Or

That Toffoli contract is ugly. Obviously SJ pays an inflated price, but no contender would have given him that AAV.
Seems he just went for stability and in an area that is close to where he met his wife. Such is life.

Not the defence update I was hoping for. I’m fine with the forward apparoch, but the defence….

Hakanpaa is someone i would have wanted if we didn’t sign Forbort
Toronto’s D core will be better as long as Tanev doesnt fall off a cliff
I don’t like their forwards, they lost Bertuzzi and probably Robertson soon, with no replacement, that’s a lot of goals missing combined

I think Hoglander is going to be traded along with some picks for some help on the right side. We have way too much depth on the left side. Plus Hoglander is probably our best trade chip, and it would suck to lose him.
Trading Hoglander + some picks for some help on the right side gives us roughly 5.5 million to absorb. I wonder who might be available.
