Not that I think he's a good fit here, but in the event that Giroux isn't extended, Mangiapane wouldn't be too expensive. His current caphit is $5.8 million and he's on pace to score 28 points. His next contract shouldn't go past $5 million. Washington has balanced scoring and Mangiapane isn't getting the same ice time. He could be a decent signing if he doesn't cost more than $4 million for a year. He's 28 though, and some GM might be dumb enough to blow their wallet on him.
He's not entirely wrong - you need to go into Bert's if you want hot water in the washrooms....
I doubt that more than 1 might be traded to get a bigger tougher more physical D. I suspect Zub or Jensen might be the one moved.
Perron ($4M) and Giroux ($6.5M or less) are not at the salary-level of 4th liners.
At this time, I am still waiting to see what Zetterlund can do.
Perhaps the trading of the 2025 picks is an omen that the team will forfeit its 2025 1st round pick for the Dorion Debacle.
Giroux does not fit on the 1st line and Batherson has the 2RW position. That would push Giroux down to the 3rd line and Amadio to the 4th line.
Thats the type of depth we should be striving for especially since we dont have unlimited dollars to play with
I say we forfeit it this year unless we win the lottery. I think they want the flexibility to trade next year's for upgrades at the deadline, with more cap space to spend.
Tierny is probably the main guy against that archetype, I'd imagine he was in Staios ear with Zetterlund and Cozens
It’s our amateur guys who have been big on
Well either way, it's not like those players were really contributing for most of the year other than Jensen. Gaudette did early and others are coming on late. We need more players who bring it 5 on 5 for 82 games next year, whatever statistics they use.
