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.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

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.

 

[TheNewEra]

if seattle wants to make room for fleury on defense or starts to falter i want to try and get Borgen and they have retention slots available

besides that we have the usual target of Fabbro and Murphy. I think if we get a dman we get someone with 1 year left to ensure limited weirdness for Yak next year

Is there a universe out there where JBD looks good on the top pair?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

There’s certainly a universe where he looks bette than hamonic on the top pair and we are currently living in it.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Hamonic has a NMC (can’t be traded, placed on waivers or sent to the AHL) In my mind, the question to ask is when will Zub return. Zub will go back to the top pair with Sanderson and JBD will be on the 3rd pair with Kleven. Hamonic will be used sparingly you’d think and then perhaps another whipping post to pile on to will have to be found I suppose. LOL.

Wouldn't hurt to try him, JBD still has so much room to grow and a taste of tougher minutes might help his development
