Not being in LTIR and having it to be salary out/in makes it easier on the GM to make an addition as we dont have to pay even more to dump a contract.

No need to apologize- it’s your opinion and you are entitled to it.
On Broberg, he got decimated in the finals. He had the worst xGA of any d man in the playoffs. He was an absolute tire fire. Fortunately, Skinner rocked a .940 on ice sv% when Broberg was on the ice. He didn’t even keep his head about water. Now, he was playing his wrong side and showed excellent puck moving skills, but he still wasnt very good defensively.
On Stetcher, we’ll see what he is. I have faith based on what we see. He was very good at denying zone entries and transitional defence last year, all of which Nurse sucks at. Nurse did well with Bear because Bear was good at denying the zone, getting the puck, and quick zone exits. If Stetcher can do that, he’ll succeed with Nurse. He doesn’t need a defensive d to be his partner- he needs some to move the puck out quickly because he sucks at in zone defence

Rebooting myself
I would not call them trying to sneak the guy down. He is 25 with 6 pts in 29 nhl games. Problem is in his own zone sometimes. I saw a few Flyers games last year he played in and he looks to me to be one of those real good ahlers that is just "that" much from being a guy who can play in the NHL

Concerned that we lost 5 out of our top 10 hitters on the team.
Emberson and Brown hit but Skinner and Ardvidson don't scare anyone and Perry is so slow he can't catch anyone. Podkolzen hits which will help too.

he should be back in time for the TDL where we will acquire him.

Holloway almost has as many goals as Puljujarvi.
Sigh. The ones that got away.

Pffft...pre season.
Means about as much as the Oilers pre season record so far.
They are at the bottom of the Pacific division.
Another preseason irrelevancy...Flames are in first place.

But we got to keep Perry!
Losing Holloway will sting for a bit especially if he keeps producing.
But i don't expect him to stay healthy for too long.. the kid plays like Hall.
I remember 3 odd seasons ago Holloway had 4 goals in 4 games and then went on to have 9 points in 51 games. Means nothing.

Schultz or Shattenkirk should have signed a PTO here. Whoever might have done so would have probably got a contract by now

My biggest concern right now is losing Lavoie and Kemp to waivers while keeping Perry and J Brown.

What in the hell is this? Wouldn't we kind of have to trade for him first?

Lavoie yes, Kemp is solid but is a 3rd pairing guy at best.

I really liked the player but he took the bag so it is what it is.
Honestly Podkolzin might be a better fit on the 4th line. He's throwing hits and killing penalties. He also only costs 1M compared to Holloway's 2.3M. Those savings allows us to afford Lavoie and still save 500k. Oh and we upgraded our 4th round pick like 45 spots.

Holloway is one bulldozing himself into the boards from having his wrist permanently done. The handwringing is unnecessary.

Maybe even a slash? Poor guy went through hell for a couple of years with his wrist.
In terms of hits/60 last season:
Brown>Desharnais
Emberson>Ceci
Podkolzin>Holloway
Yes, Foegele hits more than Skinner or Arvidsson, but Henrique lays the body more than McLeod so that’s a bit of a saw off for the middle six.
And we haven’t lost Kane. He’s just injured. He’ll be back sometime around the deadline.

I'm here, I'm bored
I felt the same. I wonder why they wouldn't go with a PTO somewhere.
As far as the forwards go, I'll echo what others have said here.
Podkolzin, Philp and Lavoie have all played well enough to earn a spot. But Ryan has also earned a spot on the opening night roster, and McDrai seem to love Perry too much to let him go.
I don't want to risk Podkolzin or Lavoie on waivers. Let Philp get big minutes on a line with Savoie. Let him be the first call-up during an injury, or when someone just can't hack it anymore.
It's nice to have a couple forward prospect call-ups to be excited about. Jarventi could join that discussion too if healthy.
I'd also sign Dermott for 900k and demote Brown.
