And this team can use a bigger Barrie.
It sounds exciting but should be we really be banking on Broberg, Bouchard and Desharnais this soon ?
Klingberg has experience playing big minutes and cost to acquire shouldn't be crippling
@Kaptah should be crawling out from under his bridge shortly to be posting that he hopes Yamo will have a brain aneurysm.
The Karlsson dream died when Ekholm was acquired. It's just not realistic. Even in your proposal to make the cap work you're magicking away Foegele and Kulak.

and again...
They are in that no man's land of not being buyers nor sellers... destined for a #16 pick... and so the perpetual mediocrity continues.
...as it should be.

I agree although if they ship out Yamamoto for another middle six player then I would be fine with that.
No I am not a Yamamoto hater...I really like the honey badger.
Its unfortunate but I just think that his size will ultimately be his undoing.

Karlsson thing is a thing that never was, should never have been and is now realistically dead.

Then you're running Desharnais as a 2nd pairing defenseman and have to fill out 5 more roster spots on minimal cap space.

The Karlsson dream never dies!!!
It is severely unlikely. But not 'impossible'. Especially if the cap goes up a few mill
For this deadline for sure but if we have reports that they are trying to keep their powder dry and not pursuing Parayko so they can make a summer run I don’t think it is forever dead
Yes ... and?
Karlsson + Ekholm + Nurse + growth from Broberg and Desharnais is a ridiculous group of D. The 2006 Oilers still had Marc Andre Bergeron taking regular shifts, it's not like every D man you have needs to be a stud.

He's barely a #6 right now, he can't handle #4 duties and will sink his partner.
He's +10 in his first 17 NHL games. He's better than you think, but fine
Ekholm (6) Karlsson (8)
Nurse (9.25) Right D (1)
Broberg (0.9) Desharnais (0.76)
Big whoop.
Cap is only going to 83.5 in all likelihood but supposedly was supposed to go up to like 85-86M this off-season before they crawled that back.
Ideally we could grab Karlsson and try and squeeze some depth guys for multi year cheap deals and the cap jumps the following two year when drai needs to be resigned as well as some other pieces

On the ice, yes. Off the ice, I've heard he's one of the classiest, kindest and most chartable guys out there.
When Emily Cave came on the ice before the Bruins/Oilers game to honour Colby, I'm not sure she embraced any Bruins player more than him.
During that game Boston was trying to tie it in the final minutes. One of our guys went down, and marchand forgot about trying to tie the game. He waved frantically for the refs.
Also This from Kevin Hayes after the passing of his brother
"The Bruins have been amazing with my my family and my brother's family," said Kevin. "Especially Brad Marchand. He has played street hockey with [Jimmy's son] Beau, he went down to the local Dorchester rink and hung out. Beau wants to be Kevin Hayes and Brad Marchand every single morning when he wakes up."
You could literally bridge Bouchard with your cap outline and be fine as long as he makes under $4M

Take your coach's advice, Brad. Your team is juuuuust fine as it is. Might wanna fix that crumbling railing on that tub though. Or is that the Saddledome crumbling away like the Flames are? No one knows for sure. @BlackMcDog thanks again for the suggestion for this one.
New thread is up!
Can a mod do the honors and lock up Kenny Vorhees, please and thank you?

Most suspensions in NHL history, terribly arrogant and constantly chirps opponents and fans. Maybe he should shut his mouth on and off the ice
Yeah the original outline has 2.8M in space so we would be 300k under the cap in that.
Bourgault, tulio, lavoie would probably get every chance to make the team and then we would have to add depth up front again in double retention style trades.
Another option is a jack Campbell buyout where he would cost 3.5M less on the cap
