Didn’t he start out with Sid first, didn’t mesh and then Geno got him? …same with Bunting…that seems to be the way first lol

I think you are adding for Hague, but I mean most of these are ideas that I've been about this year.
Also think you are adding in a back-up goaltender over Blomqvist.

Yeah they have an extra $2 million in cap space to wiggle around with if they want to get another Nedjelkovic to be the backup.
Even if they’d go with a $1.5 million backup, they’d still have like $6 million prorated cap space at the deadline.

I don't see the need to add Lizotte if you are adding Koko. If you are keeping Acciari and have Pono and Poulin that gives you three players that can fill out a 4C hole.
What’s going to happen to POJ? Any chance he would be swapped for an RFA forward or in a package… like maybe a package to Ottawa to play with his brother and we upgrade that LD spot to Chychrun?

Well he had Kessel who could do shit on his own and drive the play, and Neal who was the play finishing triggerman. /shrug
Everyone acts like Geno's always had Taylor Pyatt on his wing. He's had some very, very good players to play with.

You certainly could do this, but I don't think it takes advantages of the resources we do have in the system.
- St. Ivany showed enough that I am fine penciling him in as the #6. We do need a Ruhwedel type behind him that can step in for injuries or poor form that wont lose their game in the pressbox. That was always the Ruhwedel value - as a #7.
- Spending 4M on a 3C doesn't make sense to me when we have Ponomarev, Poulin, Eller or DOC that can fill that role, probably in that order of preference. Try the guys we have, add externally in December if you have to.
- 3m for a 4th liner doesn't seem like good asset management. Tanev 2.0. Love the player, hate the value for his usage. Gruden is an option, Acciari is an option (on the W), as are the loser of the Poulin/Pono battle, Puljiarvi, etc. There's better places to spend that money.
- I don't think we need to retain 2.5m just to dump Reilly Smith, unless it's a part of a big trade for an under market value guy coming back. It's just one year, but that still hurts.

Even when he played with Hags and Horny (not notable playmakers), they just created so much chaos Malkin could glide in and score. It was his healthiest season in a decade and he scored 42 goals.

Johnston played him with Sid. That didn't happen much after Sullivan replaced Johnston.

I like the direction. Personally, I'd prefer someone a touch younger than Arvidsson. I'd rather not use the $1 million on Stecher and the $3.1 on RV and see what I could get for $4 million. I don't have a particular name, though.
I posted Stephenson was roughly a 5 million winger on a new deal. Dubas moves Smith and has Stephenson and then adds Trenin for 2.5. Pens have 17 in cap space if they move Smith out, 16 with a million retention. That is more than enough to add tow physical wingers with DOC and Bunting. Love Reinhart and wanted him and The RD Montour from buffalo but Hextall was out to lunch.

I think they tried kessel with sid
It didn't work
Then he went to geno
Where it also didn't work
Then Geno got hurt and HBK became a thing that worked
Then he continued not working without hagelin or bonino until we traded him for some blue cotton candy
But yeah, kessel was passed around. Also sullivan is a moron.

I was wondering who this RV guy was... It would make more sense going with ARV, but that's just me.

Stamkos will be re-signed as well. You don't let go of your captain and 40 goal scorer.

Can’t believe what Hextall did to us this year.

I was legitimately bummed when he didn't bring back Gaudreau.
I always liked what he brought to the table.

Gaudreau, McCann, Tanev, Rodrigues and Blueger is a lot of decent depth just pissed away for (almost) no reason. Oh well. At least Brian Boyle was dope that one year.
