Hyman and Clarkson are not comparable in terms of skating or in terms of skill

The main point is that he's not gonna be worth the big contract. His skating and skills isn't the same as Clarkson, but he's the Clarkson type of signing this team should stay away from. Go after Hall or someone like Tatar.

I literally said he's the signing version of Clarkson. Read next time carefully.

Y’all are crazy

if Gibson is available, we beg Anaheim to give us a chance to get him. Goalies his caliber don’t become available often

not to mention we could probably get more for him than we paid in 3/4 years time IF our goalies pan out, and that’s a big if

.... so about those Hall and Hyman rumors... I thought it was Snipes45 putting that out there (which is easy to trust) and not Snipes (don't see much of his posts).... so now I really don't know if it was just a troll job or not lol.

I think that's Hollands plan A and plan B for our #1 LW.

I thought you compared both players to one another, not the contract

How and why would he be trolling? Didn't he get the Visnovsky trade?

Nope, they're both different players. We dodged a bullet with Clarkson when he signed that gross contract with the leafs. I don't want Hyman as my primary top 6 winger target either.

Just for the lulz. I saw some random guy on twitter just now yapping about how he talked to a member of the Oilers and apparently they're after BOTH Stamkos and Hall (Lmao). Saying how Connor and Nurse had a group chat with Hall at some point.
According to him, Hall is 7x 5.5 which fits the whispers lately, but he said it would be Yamamoto and a 1st for Stamkos. (And no, I don't see Stamkos happening whatsoever)

I assumed all the Stamkos talk was more related to retirement, he's got his rings and he hasn't been healthy

Lol if only we lived in a salary cap free world. Hall I can see happening. Stamkos we would have to dump ALOT of salary.

I only see any optimism with the Hall part, especially with all the rumors. Stamkos? Pfft.

Think that last spot will be for Koekkoek imo. Unless they can get someone else for cheap
They arent added Koekkoek when they have Russell and Lagesson already signed at LD and Broberg/Samourkov knocking on the door. If we add another Dman or 2 they would be RDs.

Bear/Bouchard/Larsson is pretty weak and unproven.

Was Marc Staal any good this year?
I think a veteran like that if he's cheap would be better than a Koekkoek if he's paired with Bouchard. But I have no idea how he was in Detroit.

I feel like it's always a pain trying to get American-born players to sign here. Many would rather go to a terrible US team than come here.

If Stamkos was a possibility, Keith trade and/or RNH signing would not have happened.
He didnt look like a driver on that team at all and will likely lack motivation if traded to EDM. Holland needs to stay away from that contract especially if the cost is Yama+1st without any retention.

Rather keep honey badger and our 1st in the first place as well. Last thing those cheating ass bolts need is more salary cap relief.
