Roster Building XXIV: Our Hearts Go Pitter Pattersson

[Discipline Daddy]

Add to it that Nikishin comes in cheap. Everything can only flow after you have signed a goalie (which probably won't be as cheap as Freddie).

Playing GM:. Which free agent are you signing and for how much?:

There are a few really good or at least intriguing options on that list. Logan Thompson, Vejmelka, Lankinen, and Lindgren. I think it's a successful goalie offseason if we get one of those 4 guys. Of course the problem is that there are more than 4 teams looking for a goalie. I could see us ending up rolling the dice on trading a guy, like John Gibson at 50%.

What about the Finn behind Ullmark in OTT? He’s getting some attention. (I admittedly don’t follow contracts/money/term) so not sure where he lands as a trade option.

Given competition for the scarce quality goaltender market and Canes preference for money-picking the position, I wonder if Canes would be moving forward with any of those four cited....going to be an interesting off-season.

lol, my bad, transcription error in copying from puck-pedia.....so, kidding aside, what moves are you making?

Well, I'm not signing Granland and Zucker, that is for sure.

I don't think Thompson gets to market, so looking Vejmelka, Lankinen, and Lindgren for non-Freddy options.

Just as big a priority is going to be getting a dman to play opposite Slavin though, it can't be Burns anymore.

This place is going to be feisty when we extend Freddy at $3M for two more years this July.

honestly I won't be bothered as long as we bring in a quality #3 instead of the two options we currently have for it.
