Is Kruger changing his number again?

[CCook37]

He just switched to 22 so Ladd can have 16. Weise was 22 in Montreal. I wonder if he will switch to something else.

Am I alone to think Kruger should wait with new number till the trade deadline?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Gotta admit, I did chuckle when I saw that Kruger had the same new number as yet another new teammate.

 

[CCook37]

Who knows he may be gone come Tuesday ha.

 

[Any Colour You Like]

It's funny, but probably not. Weise is only 27, but Ladd's been around the block a fair few more times.

Kruger changing his number for Ladd is a lot different than changing for Weise. It won't happen. Good on Kruger by the way for giving up the 16

 

[FazeLeaf*]

Ladd was part of the team before an won a cup with them so im sure there was some respect for him from Kruger but Weise was never there and might not be there for long so id image he would wear like 23 or 24.

 

[Sir Loin]

Kruger should just keep his new number, he's at least earned that.

Weise can just flip his numbers.

Got a feeling Ladd is resigning...would be odd to change your number for a rental, only to go back to the old one in the fall.

We shall see.

I hope he flips his 22.

How do you propose that to work with our cap?

He mentioned that he is having his family move down to Chicago and they're looking for a place. I don't see how the numbers would work out from a cap point of view but I thought that was weird to uproot family for three months when he'll be a UFA in a few months and can do one move and that will be it for at least 5 years.

Say they did have space for him next year if they move Bick, 2017-2018 is the year TT and Panarin are RFA, also the year that Hossa starts to make 1M. Ladd resigning is possible assuming Hoss goes on LTIR I guess. Panarin is the #1 priority in July tho.

The only way Ladd resigns is if Hossa goes on LTIR, which of course will set off the $%^&storm of all %$^storms on this site and throughout hockey.

Maybe he's amenable to a discount? Vermette was rumored to be looking for 5 per but settled for less than 4. Maybe Ladd would do the same?

 

[Toews2Bickell]

He did delete the comment about being resigned, it appears.

Just my opinion based on what I've seen, I don't care to waste 45 minutes on capfriendly figuring that out.

If Hossa goes on LTIR, I guarantee that the HFboards will crash. There will be much angry keyboard pounding that day. But don't be surprised if he does in 2 years. There's too many potential medical lawsuits for the NHL to consider. I suspect they'll make a compromise.
