Chandler Stephenson could be a interesting pickup

He is kuzy

 

[Borsig]

so we are apparently digging in the trash again.

so shocking.

 

[cptjeff]

stamkos is old and overpriced

He's old, but we don't actually know about overpriced until he signs a contract. Will probably get a premium based on name, but it might be more reasonable than people think due to age. I'd throw a 3x8.5 offer at him for shits and giggles.

But personally, I'd rather have Marchessault.

 

[User13452]

He is kuzy

No he’s not. Nobody’s lazier then kuzy

All playmaker offense with no defense and a mid center. He is pretty much kuzy

 

[Highest Boss]

 

[Francis10]

2 words……..Alexander Semin.

 

[Stickpucker]

No he’s not. Nobody’s lazier then kuzy

I don't get this.

The guy was pretty clutch for us in the playoffs.

I think he could show up revitalized and shut up some haters.

 

[Borsig]

Kuzy does or doesnt its whatever.

Honestly After the Guentzel thing I have lost a lot of faith in this org.

DW leaving, TD's interference. An inexperienced Tulsky. All on the cusp of the biggest turnover we have had in ages.

The necas situation brewing, No real FA's to replace a Necas or guentzel or Pesce.

It just feels like we are about to really get screwed.

 

[Francis10]

Agreed everyone has the right to be pissed off after the last few days. But I’m kind of excited to breathe some new life into the team with either FA signings or maybe some of the young kids get a shot and give us a boost.

Lots of other teams have young players added to the lineups each year and they usually make an impact. The league is heading towards younger players, so maybe it’s not a bad idea to give our young guys a shot.

I could see the Canes going after Nick Roberston. He's been under utilized in Toronto and has shown bursts of potential. I've watched a bit of his games over the years and think he could be a 55-60pt guy in the NHL. There's your sub 6ft forward to replace Guentzel

 

[Daeavorn]

Im not really that pissed, it looks like to me that Jake just changed his mind and chose Tampa instead.

c'est la vie

Big dick Nick.

Make it so.

 

[chaz4hockey]

AG with a good podcast and worth a listen. Reviews the draft and free agent situations.

Surprisingly was critical of front office on how they handled negotiations with guentzel and others too (says hope they learn from this….btw: he believes guentzel was prepared to stay):

 

[User13452]

Seravalli on his latest podcast that just dropped said he’s heard some rumblings about Zadorov and Carolina

At the very least that will add some size to Aho’s wing…

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Yea i am not believing seravalli

 

[User13452]

Also says Carolina had a deal on the table with Columbus and necas wouldn’t sign an extension with Columbus so the deal died

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Do they plan to give Zadorov the Orlov? That's a player who the Orlov contract might make financial sense for, because until recently, he was only seen as a 4-5 tweener. A 2 year, high-dollar contract gives him an opportunity to prove definitively there that he's a top-4 caliber guy and then majorly cash in when he's only 31. I don't think an Orlov pact makes financial sense for Skjei because he's definitively proven that he's a very good second-pair player.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Giving Z 2 years and big money. :puke:m
Dude is a high end bottom pairing defender with a very inflated self value

Only thing I can see is they think they can get him at 5-6 years at less then what Skjei and Pesce will sign for.

I think we’re agreeing for the first time lol

Zadorov is not even remotely close to being worth what he’s likely to get. I’d rather have Ian Cole back if we’re talking big, slow Dmen from Vancouver.

If they want a 4-5 year solution, they would focus on a righty, not a lefty. A lefty addition only makes sense as a short-term load-up with Nikishin on the way.
