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

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Borgen is having a rough year but had 2 strong seasons in a row where he played like a top 4 RHD. Not to mention it's essentially negating Kakko's cap hit. We'd have been forced to go into LTIR space, meaning we couldn't accrue cap space by the deadline, and the fact that Perron and Zub are probably returning soon anyways, which leads to more issues going forward.

And at a very affordable price.


Not our most urgent positional need but still.

Eh. They were looking for a top 4 d. We don’t have those to give

Gregor is playing well, why wouldn't you re-sign him at that price? This team lacks speed which he has + he's good on the PK. Cousins has been playing very well with Pinto/Amadio. He was brought in specifically for his post-season experience and leadership. I want to wait to see how this season plays out before kicking him to the curb.

Personally, I think they could walk away from G or release Gaudette if his ask is too high if you want to open up a roster spot for Ostapchuk. I don't think Reinhart is any better than the players we currently have so why make room for him if the player he's replacing is basically at the same salary?

I think they need to make room for Ostapchuk next yr, he is already playing a regular role with the team & looks like he will be a pretty good bottom six player. IMO we need another goal scorer on the bottom six, I thought it might be Perron, but family issues seem to have prevented him from contributing so far. I like the bottom six guys we have & they have helped immensely to bring the goals against down & play a much better style of defence but we could also use a little more offence from them. Nice to see Pinto start heating up, we also need Greig to start heating up as well. Not sure when Halliday will be ready maybe next yr, since he is getting closer & already has NHL size & brings some added scoring & passing skill. They need to make some room at some point.

It's amazing how you stop looking like a genius organization when star player after star player stops forcing their way to your team...

Would like to see them add a winger to the Ostapchuk line who can splat people like he can and have the classic 4th line that plays hard but also hurts to play against. A Chris Neil would be perfect

Tom Wilson or Lawson Crouse would be perfect, but will be difficult to get either unfortunately, but need someone big & tough who can also play & contribute.

Or randomly winning a first overall pick after finishing the regular season in a playoff spot.

I'd rather have a 4th line that can outscore other team's third lines.

A Vermette-Kelly-Eaves line if you will.

Alex Carrier to MTL

IMO that a solid pickup for them. It is possible to get RD
