I am aware Pan plays LW, tho a righty
ditto Krav/Kakko who are lefty shots play righty

for D purposes [do what works in the offensive zone]
and to max our best talent, we should go
Kakko [bull] + Krav [vision, talent] + Panarin [sniper]

that means since we didn't sell high on Zib and he is ours for the next 3 yrs, stick with what works, put him w/Kreider
but use his righty shot at RW
Kreider - Nieves - Zib

roll with Andersson at 3C tho Howden deserves it mo
Chytil - Andersson - _________ options, say Fast if he is not on 4th line

Lemieux - Howden - Gettiner --- that, Larry Brooks, is a punishing 4th line.

See if we can up Andy's value and flip him for correct upgrades.

We are stuck w/Staal at 3LD this yr, poss nxt
We should be able to get use out of Hajek - looked good until injured
Lindgren and Rykov for 2 of those 3 positions


grab some 1sts!
we can get Skjei to Montreal
likely Philly 1st ++ for Deangelo +
Strome + to Boston for a 1st
Georgiev works with fellow BAllaire student talbot,
Geo + Stars 3rd [can't morph into 1st now] + small add for Flames 1st

Buch + see how high the bids go.

BSmith at half to Vegas for expiring Holden + Merill

like dat.

there you go @egelband
waddaya think

expect to be out of commission until Wed/Thurs
play nice
peace and love, peeps!

Honestly? That's horrible.
 
That would be foolish since TODAY he is more talented than Howden and Andersson, both of also who can't score, yet. But Boo is otherwise better if people will only do the homework with the eyeball test.

Til Wed/Thurs peeps.

He's more talented than Ziba ..... just hasn't shown it yet.
 
It can't but it's still lot of work to be done.

Miller/Nils/Hajek/Lindgren/Rykov is good and all but some are unknowns and at least 2 years away (Nils and Miller).

I’m not factoring Nils or Miller. I was at the prospect meet and greet and I met them both. Nils is very small and needs to gain weight before playing in the NHL. His English is good though.

I think Nils will spend at least a year in SHL. Probably 2. Could be 3-4 years before he's making meaningful contributions in NHL. Miller spends a year in college and a year in the A. 3-4 years away. Hajek is a bit of an unknown. Rykov could be anything. Lindgren has limited upside IMO.

Bottom line .... we still have tons of work to do on the blue line.

Hajek looked ready. Rykov is an unknown. Lindgren doesn’t even factor into my future outlook.
 
I love the signing. People say we did this one year too early, but will a player like Panarin even be available to us next year? We have no idea. Let's get this show on the road!

Nope, the FA class the next 2 or so years is pretty trash. Only comparable to Panarin is Taylor Hall, and I'd rather slightly have Panarin anyway.
 
Holy shit

trouba sped up that timeline...the blue can be good enough in a year, should be in real good shape in 2 years. panarin will be good for more than 2 years

Blue line next season:

Skjei/Trouba
Staal/Shatty
Hajek/TDA
Fox
 
That's kinda my point. Outside of Skjei and Trouba there are quite few who are unknowns.

the only unknowns are the 3rd LD between hajek, rykov, lindgren and the 3rd RD between shattenkirk and fox. I think skjei, trouba, ada and staal are given. obviously we all want staal gone, but give me hajek and fox with a 1/2 year experience and I think that blueline, while not perfect can be better than we have seen in a long time in the 2nd half of the year. how many teams have 6 blueliners that they like? we could have 5.
