But Lou will kick your butt playing Bocce

Id much prefer a scoring winger. Who that is im not sure.

Id be very happy with Chychrun. He is 24 years old with a couple years remaining before he is an rfa. He would help the PP and the transition game. In addition would move Romanov and Aho down the lineup into positions better suited for them.

Chychrun-Pulock
Pelech-Dobson
Romanov-Mayfield

Would be the best defensive core this team has had in 30+ years.

 

[PK Cronin]

Done deal.

2025 second rounder and there's 31% salary retention.

"Lars Eller, come get the Stanley Cup!"

No, really.

Eller a veteran center, good defensively, and wins face offs. Necessary for COL and I think a good return for WSH

Lou was only good at Bocce when Trotz was throwing the balls for him.

I’ve always liked his game. Hated that he was on Washington though.

Chychrun would be a great add. The kind of player I don’t mind giving up futures for.

I hope Az scouts saw Bailey score last night. That Bailey kid has got some nice hands down low.

Agreed, I'm a big Chychrun fan. His injury history scares me a ton, but the skillset/term/cap hit is very tantalizing.

Just don't see the Yotes being OK with not getting a 1st this year. I feel like a '23 1st is a deal breaker.

 

[SI90]

Think Kulikov would be perfect to round out the defense if the price is right. We can’t allow Aho to play another game.

 

[crashthenet]

What does Klingberg's next contract look like?

 

[PK Cronin]

What does Klingberg's next contract look like?

Depends how his year finishes up. He bet on himself and it's not going well so far.

 

[PROMputt]

100% can see LL picking up a defensemen. Islanders have very little NHL depth on D and any injury can derail a playoff run.

[Chardo]

What does Klingberg's next contract look like?

An albatross.

 

[Mike C]

An albatross.

 

[doublechili]

Any deal so far where Lou sent futures away, he locked the guy up. We'll have to see what happens with Engvall, but I think the argument can be made that he's about as much of a risk/upside proposition as the 3rd round pick we sent to TOR for him. If he passes the test the rest of this season, Lou can sign him. He also could provide a bit of depth/flexibility to trade another forward away this week.

 

[Taswell]

Damn...so dies my Ghostisbere hopes.

 

[The Wahligator]

 

[duster19]

Aww that sucks. Price was right. Thought he could be a cheap option for the isles.

 

[CupHolders]

Does this mean another team is out from acquiring Chychurn?

I would think so
