Proposal: PTOs - Will Isles have any players on a PTO during training camp?

[SI]

I have listed only forwards on the poll, since I believe Bolduc is the 7th d man.
Who would you like to see?

JVR, LW is an intriguing option. He is a similar style player to Anders Lee, and possibly Tsyplakov.
It would improve the top 9.

1. Duke - Horvat - Barzal
2. Lee - Nelson - Palmieri
3. JVR - JGP - Engvall
4. Holmstrom - Cizikas - Tsyplakov

Hoffman, LW is an intriguing option to play with Nelson and Palmieri. The same argument could be made about Tyler Johnson or Yamamoto to some extent.

1. Duke - Horvat - Barzal
2. Hoffman - Nelson - Palmieri
3. Lee - JGP - Engvall
4. Holmstrom - Cizikas - Tsyplakov

Pacioretty, LW could be an option on the top line, especially if they want more balance, playing Duke with Nelson.

1. Pacioretty - Horvat - Barzal
2. Duke - Nelson - Palmieri
3. Lee - JGP - Engvall
4. Holmstrom - Cizikas - Tsyplakov

Cousins, LW could be a great option to help rebuild the identity line - Stanley Cup winner and can play anywhere.

1. Duke - Horvat - Barzal
2. Lee - Nelson - Palmieri
3. Holmstrom - JGP - Engvall
4. Cousins - Cizikas - Tsyplakov

I vote Labanc. He's from Brooklyn, we can watch him on our phones.

Not a fan of Holmstrom. McLean over Holmstrom

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

1) Tyler Johnson - still productive on a bad CHI team, versatile, had 8 PPG last season, Cup winner.
2) Domink Kubalik - only 29, has played well with a playmaker like Barzal in the past (Kane), solid help at LW
3) Kailer Yamamoto - primarily because of age (25) and banking on talent, plus he went 3/4 in shootouts last year lol

4) Nick Cousins - Cup winner, good bottom 6 piece
5) Kevin Labanc - just to bring him close to home and take a chance

I kinda dismiss JVR, Patches, Hoffman, and Wheeler simply due to age...

 

[IslesNorway]

With no cap space there is no reason to offer PTOs to anyone.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Depends what Lou and Roy are looking for....
-On the Defensive side I Vote Nick Cousins
-For Offense Tyler Johnson

 

[JJ18Sniper]

Martin or Clutterbuck

 

[Lek]

Martin or Clutterbuck

I actually could see that happening....if not just to give them some ice time if they want, if they are not asked elsewhere.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Martin or Clutterbuck

I'm guessing they are invited, as a bulwark against Tsyplakov sucking.

 

[seafoam]

Steven Lorentz as a Clutterbuck/Martin replacement.

 

[duster19]

Did Bertuzzo sign anywhere? Maybe he would take a PTO. They might want someone to push Bolduc or in case of injury in camp.

I think he's still looking for work.

To be honest, I'd rather bring in Mark Giordano on a PTO because he can play both sides than Bortuzzo, who looked wildly outclassed more than a few times last season.

 

[saintunspecified]

It wouldn't be what one would expect, but Yamamoto is the only player of the above who in recent years killed penalties.

I don't see any purpose in NYI trying any PTO forwards who can't potentially help the PK. Wheeler, Johansen, and Johnson were good PK'ers, but those days are behind them.

Could Wheeler become a player who plays 8-9 minutes a night, including his old PK ability? Idk. would he? Idk.

It seems pretty likely NYI will bring in some defender or other, simply because of injury potential.

 

[leeroggy]

Martin or Clutterbuck

Give it up already, they would not be embarrassed by Lou that way. And why would I do that for league minimum over any of those names above?

Clutter? One of our main PKers, with our PK last year?

Alumni Weekend is over.

 

[doublechili]

I have a suggestion who would fit in well with that list of players. Guy's name is "Ewwww".

 

[Isles72]

if they hadnt signed duclair and tsyplakov maybe you dip your toes into the camp invite waters .

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

The devil you know.

 

[leeroggy]

The devil you know.

The devil went down to Georgia. looking for a soul to steal . . . and he ain't suiting up for us either

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Wouldn’t mind Tinordi for some veteran toughness

 

[SI90]

Maybe for depth in camp for pre season games and or injury insurance but we don’t have much room if we’re able to sign them afterwards. I guess a guy could theoretically sign an AHL deal after a PTO

 

[seafoam]

Zaitsev was a Lou guy and they could use some RHD depth, but he might have already went back to Russia. Gustav Lindstrom had 10 points in 46 games last year and is a younger RHD.

 

[Sparksrus3]

Wouldn’t mind Tinordi for some veteran toughness

Yikes ! That kid is not good . I would rather bring back “ The Warrior “ or Eric Cairns ..LGI
How about Bortuzzo for 1 year .

 

[Fist of Fury]

Wouldn’t mind Tinordi for some veteran toughness

Yeah, Mark Tinordi.

 

[crashthenet]

Did Bertuzzo sign anywhere? Maybe he would take a PTO. They might want someone to push Bolduc or in case of injury in camp.

Looks like he is going to Utah. Johnson to the Bruins.

 

[SI]

JVR is still out there, Zadina is intriguing, who weirdly I didn't put on the list.
