Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XIX

[Thirty One]

Pettersson

Pettersson and Horvat are the most likely.

Hank is a Dúnedain. I knew it!

Return of the King

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

STOP! For f***’s sake.

Vegas twitter going crazy with rumors that Danault is 6.5X6

Thank god. That would be like us paying him 7.1-7.2 a year.
Dodged a bullet with that imo.
Good player, but not for that kind of scratch

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I actually think the team next year will be overall better than last. But I can't see how this particular roster, with our shitty center balance, is going to KNOCK OUT one of the following of TOR, CAR, TBL, FL, BOS, NYI, WSH, PIT. The older teams of that group I think are still better. And in terms of last year's disastrous extracurricular issues holding us back (they did a bit I am sure), which team would have we knocked out in the MassMutual East?

If you remember both the isles and jackets were in a free fall at one point and we were right on Boston's tail until Trouba got hurt. There were opportunities but it was one thing after another. The only teams that worry me in our division are Wash and Carolina. Pits is kind of a mess unless they make some deals, I think we can play with the Isles, i think we're better than philly, NJ and Columbus without any moves.

From Georges Laraque?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If the Devils do land Hamilton, that would be a huge upgrade for them.

Hopefully the cross-Hudson rivalry heats up again the next 3-5 years.

Right, and I think they probably will even be better than Montreal too. But this team and it's core isn't even settled yet. I just think those other top teams are a lot more marinated at this point, and haven't been spoiled just yet. One more year out.

I hope all the teams in our division suck buttholes and we have no rivals.

Montreal got lucky this year. They won't make playoffs next year. Toronto is worse than they were last year, they have 9 mill to fill their left wing, add a dman and get a goalie, they lost Thornton, Hyman, Andersson, Bogosian. But those teams arent in our division anyway.

I hope Hamilton is just good enough that they miss out on Wright and Bedard and no more.

 

[Fitzy]

I would rather watch ten consecutive Doja Cat concerts than sign Danault for 7 years.

Just would have to make sure I left my concealed carry at home.

Hamilton has mastered the art of being simultaneously overrated and underrated.

I'd never want him on my team but his shot metrics are absurd. At the same time, I can totally see him being the guy who gets his major pay day and coasts his way into retirement.

 

[Thirty One]

Who is paying that for Grubauer?

Devils

Here's hoping.

Devils

Surprised they're scouring the market so hard for a goalie after how heavily their fans pumped the tires of Blackwood last off season

Devils

But I thought Blackwell > Shesterkin?

 

[Good Intentions]

Danault to Vegas
Stepan to Minnesota

This equation is just leading to Eichel for Kravtsov, Chytil, Jones, 1.

Really do not want him and do not like this puzzle taking shape.

I mean we desperately need a goalie to play behind Shesterkin too

 

[Thirty One]

I don't really believe this Danault to Vegas report, because:
1. It's from Georges Laraque
2. Montreal has wanted to sign him, why are they giving Vegas permission to speak with him?

Well, he’s better than Sharter Fart, they were right about that at least

Stepan would replace Bonino and sign for cheap, not take them out of Eichel sweepstakes lol cmon now.

I wouldnt mind Stepan back as a 3C/4C on the very cheap here

It was reported yesterday I believe that Habs were informed they were out so they probably just gave him permission.

Agreed. They got some real interesting young prospects and young players coming up soon. Plus Jack Hughes is the real deal. That 5 pt game against us last year is just the beginning. That kids the real deal and going to be a game breaker
