That Kubalik deal makes the Namestnikov deal look pretty poor. Would've much rather have him.

Detroit is getting all the players I wanted. Jbb probably just wanted to hand out 1 year deals which significantly hampered any good players coming here.

Detroit probably replaces Boston or makes it difficult in the Atlantic. Can't see us or Toronto missing. Florida may struggle but they should still make it in even losing some pieces.
Not a Kubalik fan but I'm not really a Names fan either so I second the opinion I would've preferred different.
Not sure what Brisebois sees in him.
Detroit bringing in Chiarot is an L. Bringing in Copp, Kubalik and Perron are three terrific signings.

he played for played for Blashill until trade deadline this year
possible nothing he's seen is what he wants? so he's hanging out... waiting for other moves to stay here?

It was a one year deal or bust for JBB today. There were much better values out there, but he only wanted what one year would give him.

His former Rangers status doesn't count due to the length of time it's been since he was in NY. He thus cannot adequately fulfill the absence of former Ranger players Tampa is suddenly without for the first time since MSL said goodbye.he played for played for Blashill until trade deadline this year

Figured in the 4-5 range. Was thinking closer to 4. Great signing.
Wish we would've moved Killorn. Could've afforded a top 6 winger. Perron is the ideal person we needed in our top 6. We are so top line heavy right now its sad.

Detroit and Ottawa have improved. NJ has been quiet.
So I just got home and scrolled through the deals. Not gonna lie -- I lost a lot of faith in JBB today.

I would call him anything he wanted if he overpaid me like that.

Which really is surprising. I mean I get not wanting to lock into 4-5 year range but two years is too much? Who does he think is slotting into the open forward positions after this season. We're going to have at least 5 spots coming open, maybe more? Bellamare, Perry, Killorn, Names, Hagel, Colton, etc. I'm sure he'll try to work something out with Hagel and Colton but that still leaves 4 openings with 2 of those currently occupied by guys who took league minimum to sign with us coming off the Cup wins.
If we struggle this year, and certainly we are not Cup favorites this upcoming season, can you still convince serviceable players to come in on 1 year minimum deals? Not going to be as tempting...

He's good at making the cap disappear
