Well it could be hindsight or part of the plan but these signings are certainly a reason the Ullmark deal needed to be done despite a lackluster return
Exactly. Not to mention the goalie market sucked this year. Korpisalo is a good option. Let goalie Bob cook!Cam Talbot turns 37 in a few days
Just got 2.5M....
So yeah I'm not sweating what goalie Bob will do with Korpi
Can't say Sweeney blew that deal till we see how that Dean Latroneau( excuse spelling) turns out.That trade could be bad or a homerun later.People will say taking on Korpisalo we should have gotten more but 3 million for a former starter to be a backup is not so bad in today's game I guess. Bob might help him alot & we will find outI’ll again take the position that while I like both signings, I’m not sure how much better we are.
Geekie or whomever stands in for JDB is not as good, and the backup goalie is a total stiff. The upgrade at 2C (yes 2, EL is not a 1) is very good, as is the upgrade at 3LD, but I’m not sure it nets out as some “great day”.
It’s a decent offseason. It would have been a lot better if DS hadn’t blown the Ullmark deal and had filled 2RW with the extra money.
I'm sorry, I don't believe in Maroon. No sense paying for a tough guy who asks to fight. A real tough guy punches Bennett's face in and then asks "was that wrong?".I can’t say enough nice things about todays signings other than not signing Stamkos. I would have a Homemade Stamkos jersey already had they signed him.
We got us a center and a bone-crunching defensman. The best change is that we are 100 times tougher than we were a week ago. I would still sign Maroon, however. I’m probably the only fan of the Kastelic trade, but it was a good move minus taking back all the salary. We will hope goalie Bob can work his magic
Overall a great day. This assures we win next year.
Zaddy won’t ask questions firstI'm sorry, I don't believe in Maroon. No sense paying for a tough guy who asks to fight. A real tough guy punches Bennett's face in and then asks "was that wrong?".
Yea, I am glad to shed Maroon.Guys like Veil one call up away is nice and Zadorov can throw em for sureI'm sorry, I don't believe in Maroon. No sense paying for a tough guy who asks to fight. A real tough guy punches Bennett's face in and then asks "was that wrong?".
That Bennett still has it coming regardless.That punch has to be dealt with in their very 1st meeting.Zaddy won’t ask questions first
This team has a remarkable identity shift this offseason. Good luck to Berube and Maurice if they want to try their bullshit.
We are a weird species is all I can sayShe dosn't need NHL money - she's making a killing selling merchandise. You crazy American buggers give everybody their 15 minutes of fame !!!!!!!!
Its not the 3 million he is making a year that makes it bad....it is the 4 more years he is signed for.Exactly. Not to mention the goalie market sucked this year. Korpisalo is a good option. Let goalie Bob cook!
Gotta give to get, and that McGroarty kid is good. Would probably need to be a better player than Beecher going the other way tbh.Why Dangle Beecher? Young Center, plays defense. fastest skater on the team. Played well as a rookie, and has growth potential. Sure if someone offers a great asset you have to consider it, but no need to deal him
Only problem is that Korpisalo contract is currently preventing them from signing a scoring wingerWell it could be hindsight or part of the plan but these signings are certainly a reason the Ullmark deal needed to be done despite a lackluster return
Freddy or Geekie and saves $$$ on the Cap!Gotta give to get, and that McGroarty kid is good. Would probably need to be a better player than Beecher going the other way tbh.

I bet they sign someone to a 2 mil dollar deal up front. Lots of guys out there still and one will panic but regardless does not look bad at all.I’m right here as well
I'm still looking at Cam Atkinson and wondering if he's still got some gas in the tank. Bought out so may not ask for much on his next deal. He's a scorer, has a 40-goal season (18/19), and played at BC before going to Columbus. If he's willing to take a $1M deal or something like that he could be a solid add that can be buried if he's really cooked.I bet they sign someone to a 2 mil dollar deal up front.
