Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XVI (Playoffs or Retool?)

[Boris Zubov]

Trouba whacking Frederic was awesome, I'll give him that.

No comparison to Buchnevich cross-checking Marchand into Connecticut tho.

I drove past his helmet on the way home the other day.

Would Florida part with Eetu Luostarinen? He is a very solid role player. 3rd line player. Can play C and LW. Signed for two more seasons. $3M cap hit. Florida needs to add a D. OEL and Montour left in free agency. Florida will have $3.5M in cap space at the deadline. Lindgren's style fits that team.

id do it just do he lays out Meeka so we can LTIR him.

The only people who thought Mikkola was bad didn't really know who he was.

One of the few examples of a stay at home defenseman who can at least actually do that.

Shades of the Borgen bellyaching.

 

[Vitto79]

Think Seattle would move Oleksiak ?
Gotta find a random LD

Jones and Lindgren for Oleksiak

They flip Lindgren to a contender for picks

Is Frederic any better than Carrick? Goodrow 2.0.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Frederic is easily better than Carrick and Goodrow. Look at the full picture, not just the last 50 games.

He’s not really what they need though. Staple doesn’t know anything so we can all take a breath.

Luostarinen is one of their primary penalty killers, along with Lundell. His production has dropped since signing his extension, but that one productive year was probably the anomaly.

I can't imagine they are looking to move him. They have 23 mil in cap space for next year and their only significant free agents are Ekblad and Bennett.

Could they be interested in Smith and Lindgren? Smith can replace the PK minutes. Perhaps they view Smith as a guy they can reasonably resign as Bennett is likely to walk

I like Frederic the player but I’m not sure what he is. Is he a center or winger? Is he a point producer or a Hathaway? I’m a bit concerned about the type of contract he gets on his next deal.

Trenin got what 5 years at $3.5m last offseason? That’s a horrendous deal and he never scored as much as Frederic has. If I’m Trent’s agent, that’s the deal I point to. 5 years, $4m per season.

That’s steep for a guy who will be lucky to break 25 points this season. He’s also pretty bad on faceoffs and even in his best year he took like 260 faceoffs. That doesn’t scream center to me.

I almost went to the game tonight. Would've been nice to see someone on that team finally score.

Berard makes the goal happen. Does Hartford have anyone like Berard who has the grit and skill to make things happen?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Wrong thread

Nice shot Othmann on a 2 on 1 with Berard in overtime.
Just Before that he made a bad turnover that led to a Bridgeport 2 on 1. (sorry wrong thread but for those who want Othmann up a good night)

Right, he just magically finds his way into the lineup every game

Forcing the issue. I think it’s time to call him up we could use the juice

Vegas found their LTIR guy for this season. See ya in two months.

Vegas apparently wants another forward. Brayden Schenn played for Kelly McCrimmon in junior hockey.

Who else did McCrimmon coach 15-20 years ago?

Luckily, Hartford has Berard...
