Sounds like the Pens want Tarasenko.

Is Tyson Barrie's career over? Man he's been miserable since he left the Avs.

@henchman21 HYPOTHETICALLY speaking, let's say most of these remaining UFA's actually remain UFA's until close to training camp...anyone on that list jump out as a PTO candidate?

Idk about that, he was fine in Toronto once Babcock left and then great in Edmonton. Ever since leaving Edmonton he's struggled but he also turns 33 this month. For a guy who has never been a fast skater, he's near the end.

PTOs are always kind of iffy to guess. Somebody could come in late and just sign like we did with Tatar. Barbanov, Shat Duces, Lidstrom, Bortuzzo, Mahura, Cousins, and Labanc all have some scrap pile intrigue. Don't think I'd go out of my way to sign them, but camp, sure.

Then he re-upped there for little money and they traded his ass?

Is Roslovic going to get more than league minimum?

Is Roslovic going to get more than league minimum?

Even if he does, how many wingers do we need? We have like 30.

(Assuming you were asking for us)

They're putting together a team that would cruise to the 2017 Stanley Cup.

To get a way better dman in Ekholm.

Just put him at 4c, if he's near league minimum. RH

I mean you could put him on the 3rd line and push LOC down to the 4th line. A deeper team is always better.

We just don't have any cap space for him.

Doesn't look like a good time to be a right handed PMD/PP specialist with so many options for teams to leverage against eachother

the original point was that he hasn't been miserable since leaving the Avs

making the Montour contract even more puzzling

 

[Murzu]

He isn't a perfect player, but playing mainly as a third line winger he'd be just fine. Isn't a great center, but if one of our top three centers would get injured he could fill as 3C for a while and do okay.

 

[Freudian]

There are so many decent to good players making $5M-7.5M/year these days. Many of them playing for the Kraken.

Capfriendly going down tomorrow

Hope you guys are ready for Puckpedia

Quite possibly worst news in a long time

Puckpedia must know that they are going to get all the capfriendly traffic so they need a new website.

Hope they trash that one and start over.

We probably have no cap space, but if I were the Avs I would still try and sign Kylington. Healthy competition, especially on the back end is always a good thing. Only problem is he's another left-shot defender so Avs won't do it.

Avs need a defensive-minded 3rd line centre most of all, which can push Colton to the wing on that line. Probably happens via a trade since I don't really see any amazing options out there.

I guess Luke Fox doesn't realise that Klingberg probably won't play again.

Either that or they say "f*** it" and don't change shit

Ugly ass orange jerseys, drafted a player out of left field to the point where him and everyone else is shocked, and not being able to or trying to sign any free agents to improve the team when you have the most cap space in the league.

I'd be so mad if I was a Ducks fan. Infuriated.

Eliteprospect is our only hope, they should look at all the features of CapFriendly and start making them for their website. They already have a huge database to make armchair GM teams and do mock drafts on. Their ads sort of suck, but I haven't ever had a problem with adblockers.

I'd not be. They are f***ing stacked at every position so they could afford a homerun pick like Sennecke.

Also it's smart not to ruin your rebuild by taking UFA shortcuts.
