The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

I think they want Power

They won't even smell Power.

Man, people are so fixated on Crouse that they don't see other good players like him, some of whom could have been signed to UFA for free on a reasonable contract. Crouse is a physical player, but not so much now, his scoring has gone down, I wouldn't even trade Quinn for him now, let alone Power. I was reading the Utah board recently and saw quite a few comments about how unhappy they were with Crouse's play.

I'd be more interested in a guy like Kesselring from Utah, but with Durzi and Marino injured, he's probably not very available right now.

a zucker type RHD would be nice, I don't think we can afford a premium RHD salary wise without moving one of the big 3 D (Bryam will be getting a huge raise).

This team still needs a 2C, preferably a playmaker.

It's a very difficult task, a veteran who is good on defense, good in the room, with a decent contract, and maybe without NTC/NMC. There are almost none, there are always some obstacles.

This team still needs a 2C, preferably a playmaker.

I think it's easier, plus you have to look at guys who can be 3C now, but have potential to be 2C. McLeod is so good right now, he can be either 3C or 2C. We just have to get three good lines in the top 9, we're not there yet.

Vibes are high. I think KA should go out & try to acquire a reliable partner for Power

It Will be a mistake handing him s big contract for playing good for just a smal amount of time and why should they ?

The time to do that was in the offseason when Marino became available. Now, we need to wait for a top-4 RD to shake loose, and teams aren't going to give those up until they're in seller mode. I assume it'll be a couple of months before one shakes loose. I'd be happy to be wrong, though.

Meanwhile, the team needs to heal up and continue finding ways to win. Let's hope this isn't the best version of this team. I have to believe Ruff is not happy with the way Joki is playing given he's already benched him for a while once. I'd bet good money he wants his Jay McKee who is a PK savage and brings stability to a pair.
