Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

Just enough for Chychrun?

Sure but what assets do we have that ARZ would want or that wouldn’t be beaten by other teams. Sounds like WSH PIT and possibly TOR are bidding for him right now

Trade done. Great pick up for EDM. Have to imagine good package going back to NSH

 

[WangMustGo]

To me this says Clutterbuck is getting the Boychuk treatment.

Honestly i hope so. Clutterbuck has done alot for this organization, but hes made of glass these days. Time for him to hang um up.

This TDL is f***ing awesome!! Wish it was like this every year

It really is one of the better ones in a long time

They have to sure up their back end so I like it.

Wonder if the kings would give up Byfield/Turcotte in a move

 

[SI90]

Guerin added Johansson and Nyquist today.

Is Lou speaking to the media right now? Hope that doesn't mean he's done.

The trade deadline is Friday. Don't know if there is going to be much action as it seems everyone is getting going early. Think LL started all this by getting Horvat so soon!

Probably lol

 

[Glorydays22]

With teams like Toronto, Boston, Devils and the Rangers loading up. I'm not sure why Carolina is waiting. To me, if they are serious, they need to make a bigger move than Puljujarvi

Do you think there's any trade he can pull off that will be able to not only guarantee this team a playoff spot, but make the kind of contender to win a Cup that the Bruins, Hurricanes, rangers, Lightning, etc are?

Exactly. I don't mind the move they just made because it's a 26 yr old speedy wingers and maybe he can be a 3rd liners for next year at a reasonable price tage since he's a FA at the end of the year. But I'm so happy Lou didn't bring in a over 30 yr old player with term.

As it stands today I like their chances of getting in. As for beating those teams, I don't think it's likely but we've seen crazier things happen. The 128 point Lightning got swept by CBJ. I think adding a guy like Domi would go a long way for this team and wouldn't break the bank.

 

[scottywiper]

I

be great to get picks picks picks

would hate to miss out on the next superstar draftee like bellows or holmstrom

I like you Mike. But I won't stand for Holmstrom slander!!! Lol

I'd like to go into the playoffs with better hope than, "We've seen crazier things happen." When can we be a top 3 seed and actual favorite so we're not pinning our hopes on longshots?

Let's be honest...The only shot the Isles have at the Cup is Sorokin.

That CBJ/TBL series you referenced was literally all Bobrobsky. I talk about that series all the time. The Lightning were shelling CBJ out of the gate and it was like 3-0 10 minutes into the 1st period of game 1 and it could've been like 7-0, but Bobrovsky stood on his head, frustrated TB, settled his team down, and then they played with no fear.

I think the only goalie performance I saw better than that in the past 10 years was Binnington when he literally won the Blues the Cup.

I liked the idea of Domin but with the deal today I don’t know if that will materialize. Only thing I can see now is a puck moving dman.

 

[periferal]

Barry been on the job for 48 hours and finally grabbed the wheel from Poile to admit that team is going nowhere and should start the rebuild.

Of course I agree in theory, but that's just not a luxury we have with this group of players. You still have to at least try to go for it when you can. They've had success in the playoffs in the past, so they're not your traditional 7/8 seed so to speak.

Let's be honest...The only shot the Isles have at the Cup is Sorokin.

Isn't that good enough of a reason to bolster the roster and try to make a run?

First stop - puck moving PP dman. Wonder if he would do is a favor and swap Bailey for Barrie + picks.

 

[Mike C]

I

I like you Mike. But I won't stand for Holmstrom slander!!! Lol

Thanks for the kind word. I'm gonna try and tone down the slander. I'll start by saying Holmstrom looks as good in that #10 as Czarnik ever did?

How am I doing so far??

Why would he do Lou a favor, he fired his azz lol

 

[impaaaaaact]

This would be such a Lou move.

I can't see how we would make this work without sending back Pulock, which imo would be sort of a "what's the point" kind of move

 

[Mike C]

No no no no no

Lou did Barry a favor by letting him get the R&R he craved all expenses paid!

It's only fair Barry reciprocates right??
