Roster Speculation 2014-2015, Part X

[ZeroPT*]

Sutter for the Isles 2nd and a prospect like Cornel or something would be sweet.

Thoughts on Filipula? Not sure if Tampa is interested, but they're going to have to start freeing up cap eventually.

Overwhelmingly in favor. Dude can play anywhere in our top 9.

Would love to add him but doubtful they are looking to move him.

So integral to everything tampa does, no way they trade him and his remaining bargain contract while contending

Thornton
Ribeiro
ROR

Those are the only guys in the top 30 in scoring for centers this year that might be targets.

I honestly don't think we go after an offensive center.

Stoll or Vermette fit our need for a real defensive center and we can overpay in both term and $ if need be. Let McEichel/Reinhart/Grigerenko/Girgensons/Larsson battle it out for the offensive line gigs.

As early as next week BU's Matt O'Connor will begin an NHL tour with stops in Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Buffalo and maybe NYR.

Is this like the NFL? Is it going to be wining and dining?

Pegula will just take him to Mighty Taco & seal the deal

 

[ZeroPT*]

I can see him signing in NYR and them down along Talbot.

And this is why the anti-tank "make all the prospects FA's!" Idea is so ****ing stupid

I just think it is strange that a prospect does a tour.

Why.

So now that 30th is officially locked up, do we play Eichel as C or as W?

EDIT: At the beginning of the year, not long term.

He's the # 1 center the team's been missing since 1998 - don't screw it up by playing him on the wing. If they think sheltering a rookie on the wing with less duties is smart, I'd rather see them surround him or McDavid with veterans that play 2-way and can pitch in on face-offs and specialty teams.

Sorry, I meant to start the year. I know he is our future 1C. But I would agree with sheltering him to begin the year.

McEichel starts as a W, for at least half the year if not the whole year.

Bring in a veteran C.

Wouldn't shock me if Reinhart starts on the wing too for a spell.

Sutter has been awful for the Pens. I'd hold on to the pick.

Girgensoms McEichel Kane

Moulson Reinhart Ennis

Gionta Grigorenko Larsson

Leslauriers McCormick Foligno

Gorges Ristolanin

Zadorov Bogosian

McCabe Pysyk

FA or trade for a #1

Here we go let the glory days begin! Reinhart, McEichel, Girgensoms, Zadorov and Ristolanin is a great core

 

[MagnumForce2]

What is everyone's thoughts on Lindback? Does anyone think we should offer him a contract at least as a backup?

They already have the backup goalie signed for next year in Chad Johnson. Look elsewhere for the starter. JMO.

No.


I want two new Goalies next year

I would be just fine with signing Lindback to a 1yr extension to see what he can really do for us. He earned that with his play here. Johnson can either be buried in Rochester or bought out...he was just the live body coming back when we shipped out Neuvirth.

 

[Jacob582]

Is Lindback the type of goalie who needs to play often to be effective?

I would agree to bring him back if we still had one more year left in our tank. We don't.

Agreed. Lindback's numbers are pretty good with us and he's young enough to be the next Dubnyk. Also, he looked pretty promising when he entered the league. I'd take him back for a year.

I would bring him back, even as the backup. His stats are remarkable for our Serious Tank after we traded every contract we had to embrace the tank and compete with Arizona for McEichel cause the Coyotes traded Vermette, Yandle , Michalek etc And we won the race after stiff competition.

And Lindback has been pretty spectacular. Him and a 3rd round pick for Enroth and we get one of McEichel. Well done TMGM. Lindback was outstanding 2.81 GAA and 923 Save % not bad at all
