Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

Travis Green and the coaches need to work with the D on what to do when hemmed in. Too many soft pucks up the middle getting turned over.

The D need to be stronger and rip pucks off the glass and out. I remember Chris Phillips being so smooth with this: he could back hand pucks off the glass high in the air out to neutral zone safety. Get on this Travis!

I think the opposite. Have a plan that actually gets you out of the zone without icing it. Of course there are extreme circumstances where smashing it out is the best option but not always

I didn't say icing, I said off the glass to neutral zone.

Would it be a good idea to trade for a RD if the Zub injury turns out to be a concern throughout the season.

Would it be a good idea to trade for a RD if the Zub injury turns out to be a concern throughout the season.

Unquestionably because we are not making playoffs with Hamonic there in top pairing.

Staios must be considering all his options right now even if Zub is going to return soon.
Third pair is decent right now with Kleven & JBD but yeah, you can only go so far with Hamonic on your top pairing with Sanderson.

I am higher on Hamonic than most from what I read on these boards but for this team to be considering playoffs, he should be our 6/7, playing around 15 minutes per game when he is in and being a solid mentor to Kleven & JBD.

Time to put in a call to Shattenkirk.

I don’t there are moves to be made for a good RD at thhis point. Who’s offering one?

Maybe Washington is willing to unload TVR if they want to extend Chychrun.

Is there any reason to believe Zub won't be back and healthy soon, though? As soon as he is, Hamonic will slot back into a third RHD rotation with JBD and we'll be fine.

If we're in the hunt at the trade deadline, I think that is when you start looking to add more depth. Unless of course a top four guy goes down with something major.

San Jose just aquired Liljegren. We can probably snag Jan Rutta for a 3rd or 4th rounder. He's an upgrade but not an ideal one.

PuckPedia says he’s back on Nov.1. Not sure how they know, and maybe they are guessing.

We have about $1.95 m of cap space. If Zub goes on LTIR, then we’ll have more cap space. But, when Zub is healthy and returns, then they could end up having to make another move i.e., cut some one.

Rutta has a $2.75 m cap hit.

Damn details.
