Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

[Mangosteen]

I been trying to trade Crouse for two years. Was hopeful that the move would create emotion in him again.

 

[lanky]

We currently have an empty slot for a 12th forward. I count that spot as Doan's.
Next year But and Iginla replace Bjugstad and Kerfoot. Crouse, Maccelli and Schmaltz will stick around next year for continuity.

 

[Mosby]

Keller - Cooley - Guenther
But - Hayton - Schmaltz
Crouse - Iginla - Maccelli
McBain - Stenlund - Doan

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

Keller - Cooley - Guenther
But - Hayton - Schmaltz
Crouse - Iginla - Maccelli
McBain - Stenlund - Doan

Sergachev - Marino
Valamaki - Durzi
Simashev - Kesselring
We need to upgrade Valamaki with someone like Provorov. Having him would complete the three lokos of Yaraslovl.

 

[Heldig]

Keller - Cooley - Guenther
But - Hayton - Schmaltz
Crouse - Iginla - Maccelli
McBain - Stenlund - Doan

That is an extremely young group.

And is Iginla really a C?

I somewhat doubt we'll see Iginla in the NHL next season, isn't BA on record that he wants to let prospects develop, or am I misremembering?

I think he's not too dogmatic about good long cookings. Cooley, Guenther must have showed, that they could belong, got a shot and are now regulars. MavLam could be next. Kolya on the other hand took a little longer and is doing at least Ok now

edit: typos. too early, not enough caffeine

I do think Tij'll get his 9 games in anyways.
Simashev will replace Cole and But will replace Carcone
Depending on how Durzi and Marino play after there injury, Utah still could use an upgrade to Valimaki at LHD.

Guenther was cooking in junior and minors for a long time.
I guess a 9 game trial is possible but that would make iginla not be a substitute for bjugstad or kerfoot
Edit: spelling errors

 

[Mangosteen]

Trade Crouse resign Bjugstad. Iggy is still a year away. Might even resign Kerfoot

 

[Coyotedroppings]

It’s so young that the usual suspects will be crying of rebuild failure all over again! Many of whom, were outspoken proponents of playing youth over NHL’ers.

Time to package up some of the youngins and do another Sergachev style trade.

You're right.
It's only difficult for me to imagine Iginla going back to the W because of what I expect he will do with his time there this year. That story hasn't played out yet.

 

[Schemp]

I wonder if a trade with the Bruins may be possible? A shake up by them that we can take advantage of.
Valmaki-Stenlund
4
Carlo-Frederic
We probably are on Carlo's modified NTC and I would prefer Peeke, but the B's would prefer to keep him and they already have someone like Stenlund.l
I wonder if they would entertain trading McAvoy?

McAvoy would cost Keller.

 

[Schemp]

McAvoy would cost Keller.

That's not entertaining! McAvoy is the one not living up to his contract.

Still I'm torn between trying to acquire pending UFAs and thinking that the chances of re-signing them are increased and keeping the assets and trying to sign them in the off season which may be unlikely! (Frederic and Provorov)
