The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[KrakenSabresMike]

He's got a great future as a top-4 RHD, which is the most obvious hole in our roster.

He turns just 21 later this month though. The youngest team in the league won't improve by getting younger.

Maybe - but which defense on our roster now is better than him at that 4 spot with power right now??

Yeah, looking over their roster Pittsburgh does look like a bad trade partner.

Except for pettersson who would be great on our d

Friedman said Provorov is going to the be the #1 D target in the league.

 

[GellMann]

We are 2 points away from a standings seat that has home ice advantage in the playoffs

Kevyn for the love of god get this team some help, one more good player. they deserve it man, tell them and us you're all in.

A top-4 RD would make this team very intriguing. Joki is the obvious weak link, and I'm sure Ruff isn't blind to it.

I will say, Byram, Dahlin, and Power all being strong skating defensemen who can transition the puck well and produce offensively is a unique advantage we have over a lot of teams. I have to wonder if that's the foundation of our defense for the next 5 years +. Hopefully, Byram isn't too expensive. The offensive output makes me nervous he's going to get a PAYDAY.

I’m going to go ahead and state the obvious. Now would be a great time to invest in the roster. They sat on a ton of cap two years ago at the deadline and missed by a game. Then ran it back and regressed. Don’t sit on the Skinner savings. If any of these half decade long talks have them anywhere near a quality top 4 RHD…do what it takes. ASAP.

Sit Bryson one or two of the next three games.

Gilbert - Clifton

Show the team you have faith in them and make a move as a reward

He's in the AHL. He can't crack the CBJ lineup.

What does that suggest?

I'm all for it if something's available but I'm not going to get angry when nothing is done. Nothing is likely to happen til closer to the trade deadline. The deals that get done now are depth moves. Thats not going to move the needle.

With the way they are playing I have no interest in reclamation projects either.

if we are well over 500 ka ruff and karmanos will add one or two BIG pieces that fit w character and were what they didn't get at draft day


expect it

That he needs to work on his leg strength and skating. In reality, trading Jiricek doesn't mean he's going to be in our top 4 right away, it's an investment in the future. Players like that are pretty rare, if we can get him without weakening our roster, I'd consider it.

 

[Matt Ress]

Does Novikov get a shot or does he have to wait for someone on The Great Left Wall to get injured. I think this is his feeler year when he gets 5 or 6 games

 

[Fjordy]

It seems like Sens have hit a bit of a hole, I wonder when they'll be ready to shake things up a bit.
