Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Neal gone. Now what?

[McBooya42]

Fleury doesn't want to play for Chicago because of the Blind side trade by LV.

Trade Koskinen for Fleury now.

Edit: does anyone know if Fleury would be willing to play here?

Man I would have time for a determined MAF. He'd play every game against Vegas with an edge. Could be an opportunity if he'd do it.

That’s nice. Who is Fugu?

A mod that passed away of cancer. She was a big part of building HF to where it is today and was someone that people could lean on when they needed someone to talk to.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Hahahahahaha

Barrie
Bear
Ceci
Bouchard

*Gasp* hahahahahhahahahahaha

 

[Rafters]

Bob with the Barrie bomb

 

[BlackDogg]

O
or maybe no one wants a garbage goalie?

Someone took brossoit

 

[GhostfaceWu]

How does Barrie signing make Bear expendable? Still need 3 right handed defenseman and what is the point of overpaying that when you already have the cheaper version?

 

[backhandsauce]

Hahahahahaha

Barrie
Bear
Ceci
Bouchard

*Gasp* hahahahahhahahahahaha

Gasp yourself, cheer on the boys. Jesus

 

[XXIV97]

As long as week bear, im fine with it

Chicago dumps the contracts of Kieth and Seabrook, gets back two useful players in Johnson and Jones plus a 2nd and a 2nd/3rd plus opens up cap space to trade for S.Jones and Fleury. Meanwhile Holland is still trying to figure out cap numbers.

They traded away significant draft capital to acquire Seth Jones.

 

[LTIR]

So we want to go in with Bear Barrie and Bouchard??????

Bear,Barrie,Bouchard, Ceci,Hamonic, Hakanpaa... We are taking all RDs

 

[CupofOil]

Haha, no bud, I’m all good! I was confused thinking there was a connection to the cap space and Keith or something, totally didn’t mean to come off as a dick there, my apologies

It's all good man. Glad to know we're still cool

 

[Oilhawks]

??? guess no Ceci then lol

 

[McTonyBrar]

This is just dumb. What is Holland doing? Bouchard Gets no PP time again and his Larsson replacement is a soft Dman who sucks at defence?

 

[backhandsauce]

Barrie led the NHL D in scoring. He's good. This is a good thing.

 

[Frank the Tank]

That’s nice. Who is Fugu?

A legendary poster who contributed significant content to the business board for a long time.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I'm interested in the caphit...hopefully under 5.5 mil

 

[Marty McSurly]

Trading Bear would be a mistake IMO.

 

[BlackDogg]

I doubt MAF even plays? Surely Chicago would have some inclination of this.

 

[La Bamba]

Thank god

His offensive ability/importance has been undervalued by posters here

Nurse probably learned a lot playing with him and they made each other better. Glad it's looking like he's returning

 

[MinisterOfSinister]

What if we got Getzlaf to play RW with Drai? Or Drai plays the wing with Getz? I'm sure that his passing is still on point after all of these years.

I think Getzlaf at center gives us huge flexibility.
He doesn't have to be relied on for PP or PK, but can do either. With Nuge at wing, if someone goes down, we can at least shuffle into the middle.
JP is at the point where he's gonna take a step forward or not. Same with Yamamoto.
Signing Getz at least gives you wiggle room with skill up the middle, where we currently suck.
Defense still a concern, Kostko issue.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

This is just dumb. What is Holland doing? Bouchard Gets no PP time again and his Larsson replacement is a soft Dman who sucks at defence?

At minimum Bouch should get PP2 time.

The whole issue now is that we need someone to fill Larsson's role on the PK and at ES.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Barrie led the NHL D in scoring. He's good. This is a good thing.

Can I like this twice?

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

Welp. Bear gone for peanuts now.

 

[backhandsauce]

Trade Bear for a stud up front.

We need to be in win now mode. Barrie is better than Bear. Bouchard can be on the second unit.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Nurse-Bouchard
BLANK-Barrie
Keith-Bear

Get a left shot D that is good in shot suppression and it looks not half-bad.

Trade Bear and you can absolutely suck my toes Ken.
