Off-season thread

[piqued]

Suter still should've been bought out so A) I never have to look at his f***ing face again and B) his presence negatively impacts Harley and Miro playing on the left

 

[JeffP]

Only if we continue to play him as we did last season. Which we likely will.
Not to worry though- we have Dadonov and Future Considerations.

Lundkvist is now an 8th defenseman

I didn't even realize Hanley was a FA. I just assumed that he's just the Stars permanent 7th dman until he retires; which is fine with me because he's done that job well.

Wrong thread

Glad we got a pick back. Had to be a market for him given how pricey these UFA dman have been

 

[M88K]

1 of the terrible trio gone, 2 to go

 

[roryjones]

Well that frees up some cap. He was awful

 

[serp]

Hanley as #7 is absolutely fine especially at league minimum.

 

[Kcb12345]

 

[Kipper 17]

Who?

 

[roryjones]

Not sure that was worth 1 mil of precious cap space.

 

[serp]

I assume that means Kivi is gone and Smith takes his open 4th line spot.

 

[Kcb12345]

Who?

Used to score 20+ goals like every year but has fallen off since then and looks like he's probably had injury struggles the last 2 seasons

Who?

MIKE JONES

We can just bury him and have no effect on the cap

Bicshel going to be playing in the AHL this year. Did we know that already? Sounds good to me.

I don't think they committed to that for the whole year did they? I just thought that he's coming over for training camp and see where's he's at development and health wise.

 

[BfantZ]

Hmmm I don't know if I agree. The roster needs playmakers. That is Wheeler. I see the argument when it comes to cost/age but the team lacks creativity at forward which is why Domi was so noticeable.

With that said, his best fit would be with Jamie and Wyatt. My tummy is aching thinking about him with Seguin and Marchment.

dadonov is playmaker

Someone posted a tweet from Saad in Bicshel’s thread seemingly confirming he is AHL bound.

Devils fan here, checking in on Miller.

I see he played a bunch in the reg season with Heiskanen and Suter, but barely at all with those guys in the playoffs. Only played in10 playoff games as well. Was he injured, or squeezed out of the lineup?

Squeezed out, he just started getting overwhelmed in the playoffs. In the regular season he was fine albeit carried by Heiskanen

He was the worst defenseman the Stars dressed in the playoffs. He lost his spot during the Wild series ( he was noticeable very bad when the Stars went down 1-2 in the series ) and only came back in when Hakanpää got injured in the Seattle series and was bad again. So bad that the coaching staff rather had Hakanpää battling a bad knee and back dressed than healthy Colin Miller.
