Post-Game Talk: Kulikov doesn’t score, Panthers lose to Jets 6-3

[WaitingForThatCab]

We already played the Bruins

Once again, you have beaten me to the punch by mere seconds.

Balinskis may have tired to force that pass a bit at the blue line, you have a 6/4 man advantage you probably could’ve made a safer play. Sucks, but he’s overall played pretty well. I do think with how Schmidt has solidified himself along with being a former Maurice player that if we did pick up a D at the deadline that balinskis would be the odd man out but if so, it’s always good to have depth. I think he’s been very solid, plus it’s only been 20 games. Let him get close to a full season under his belt.

Yeah, no rush. We will pick up a D at the deadline. In the meantime let some other guys get experience.

When do we play all the bad teams? Our 2nd half schedule should be a cupcake. Theres so many bad teams and we haven’t played them yet.

This next month is gonna be the time to load up on points.

Any good targets? I’m assuming we will have to pay up the wazoo for someone with retention and an already good contract.

Provorov is a UFA, makes 4.2
Pettersson is gonna be in everyone's radar, but he's not really a ppqb which is kinda what we need
I kinda like Borgen from Seattle. He's a big offensive minded RD that skates well and has a great shot. Just hasn't been able to translate it into real production in the NHL, but he might here. He's a UFA, cheap contract.

If Islanders falter, I'd like to trade for Pulock. Obviously he'd cost a lot more, but it'd be worth it. He's exactly what we need in the top 4. With cap reportedly going up to the mid -90s or higher, we could fit him in.
