On a particular discord...according to someone trusted...should Sunny miss out on his trade targets, there is a backup plan in UFA on a short term deal ... he's OLD but it would just be a stop gap

There should be 20+ backup plans at all times in this league

I mean it kind of does imply that. Or at least sounds like there’s one maybe decent backup plan.

Absolutely not. I need to put my foot down. If Sunny thinks @My3Sons is an acceptable stop gap then he needs to be stopped.

 

[Killing Joke]

Losing out on Kyrou sucks. Esp to a division rival.

I can only be in so many places at once

That bums me out. Thought he was headed the Devils.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That's actually amazing. I never want to see him on the ice in a Devils uniform ever again.

Ive heard 2 different names, but I also think there is an outside chance we sign them regardless even if we pickup a Top 6 FWD

It’s nice that you’ve heard them. Do you want us to beg for them?

Limoncello

edit: The 2nd one is Tarasenko but only heard that from 1 source so grain of salt

Draft capital is a good thing to have if you are trying to retool a roster

Absolutely, draft slot values don’t fluctuate because there’s no performance attached to them

Sure draft picks might have little less buying power from year to year but 100 bucks is still 100 bucks and everyone wants 100 bucks

A 39 is certainly an old stop gap but he seems to be holding up surprisingly well

Hes like Plan D apparently. A lot of stuff would have had to gone wrong
