We got 99 problems, but losing out on Kane isn't one.

So that's $4M against the cap this year, and then a potential $2.5M next year? Maybe?
@dotcommunism -- How does this work?

Stephenson scares the crap out of me. He really didn't look good last year....with or without Stone.
I'm all for TT as a swiss army knife in the top 9.
Inflation, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, global warming, my children being corrupted by rock and roll, a 14 year playoff drought...

I didn't see much Vegas but I know they had a stupid number of injuries this year. Any chance it was just chemistry issues?
I'd sell TT on the idea he's starting the season next to Tage and Tuch.

It's possible. And I know we need a 3C.......but I'm not sure I want KA to pay the price that Stephenson is going to demand and have him prove that he's on the decline.
Oh, I don't think TT would START with Tage and Tuch.....but he'd be an option in case of injury or to try to jump-start them, if necessary.

I can read, I swear. Somehow my brain totally misread that statement.

I don't mean to fear-monger, but yeah, we're in a real bad situation until Adams can do something.It's all Gab's @Gabrielor fault!
We need some proof the Skinner buyout isn't for Terry's pockets.

Elias Lindholm would be a great fit. Would love to go after Kadri potentially if that didn’t work out.
Bertuzzi wouldn’t upset me, adds a physical guy who can score in the middle 6.
Austin Watson would be an ok 4th line pick up.
Would like to see Joki dealt and maybe pick up RHD Matt Roy.

Big old no to Lindholm. He's likely to ask for $8-9M, and there's real question as to whether or not he's declining. Kadri would be fine.
Bertuzzi? Nah. He's physical, sure......but is he really worth $5M+?
Watson is fine. Roy would be great, but I doubt he's coming here.
I do think Teravainen is Adams' preferred Skinner replacement. I just don't think he'd come here barring not simply an overpayment but a massive overpayment. Ultimately, I think there's some smoke to him going back to Chicago to help bridge them back to being a playoff team in the next couple of years.

Agree on Lindholm, someone will overpay due to his ridiculous 21-22 season.
Bert I'd be interested in though. Sandpaper guy that pisses off the opposition, and can usually be counted on for 20 - 30 goals. To me that's pretty solid for 5 - 5.5 per if he'd take that deal. Seems like a better value than what Konecny or someone like Ehlers would be looking for.
Toffoli is interesting also, I'd be curious what he's looking for.

Hes 35+ now.
My guess is that rolls over to next year like what Iginla did in Boston
Lindholm w as nt $9M+ money. Not touching him
Kadri has 5 yrs left and is i think older than Skinner. No interest
I dont think they are looking for a 4th line winger.
I think the 4th line is set. Thry can sign a 13F who's a vet but I think you want someone that isnt s pure 4th liner.
Trading Joker is a real possibility. If they trade him and they dont get a RD back then it says RyJo iui s 3LD and Power likely 2RD. They sign 7D and a couple other tweeters.
I think they acquire Iafalo for a middle 6 winger role

He'll do. Maybe he can bring Stenlund with him.
