Adams is great when it comes to delegating. He should delegate free agency and trades as well.

 

[Diaspora]

Not to mention incoming we have Johnson, who is probably better than Bryson or Clague right now even if marginally. An upgrade on Jokiharju is much welcomed. Solidify that top 4.

I, for one, do not believe that you could plug Johnson into the roster today without him being abused mercilessly to the detriment of the team's performance and his development. NCAA hockey is not a direct stepping-stone to the NHL.

He needs to cook.

 

[Perry Tegula]

I just don't understand what a Riley Stillman trade could be a precursor to. Did they need the depth because one of Clague or Bryson is moving? I mean who would want either of them.

I've been pretty lenient on KA thus far, and have defended him several times to this point, but this trade just flat out pisses me off. If they wanted Stillmans toughness fine, but there were/are better options out there than a sub-replacement level Dman.

Doesn't Stillman put us over the roster limit?

 

[Djp]

So is this Stillman guy basically a Bryson/Clague replacement? Is he better than them?

he played under quenville whos system is similar to Granato

Huh... I wonder if there is an exemption for Houser?

 

[toddkaz]

I would love to see if Comtois is available. Tough, will drop the gloves and can chip in secondary scoring.

No thanks. He's...actively bad.

Based on what we just paid for Stillconfused, it'll cost Jiri Kulich.

 

[Chainshot]

He's never lived up to the TSN hype machine from the U20's.

In the meantime, this player would be available for free today after going on waivers:

It does.

They'll just send Clague to Rochester. Just a pointless move, losing a unique prospect for nothing.

Maybe Stillman swaps in/out of the press box with Bryson depending on the matchup. Physicality or offense in our games down the stretch.

Possibly, but there were at least 20 some other Dman that could have been acquired at better value to do the same thing.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Well..

We got our Chychrun in Stillman.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Well..

Pagnotta doesn't know his asshole from his face, but I'll give him the fact they're pretty similar.

 

[Chainshot]

We got our Chychrun in Stillman.

Son of a former NHLer? ✔
Plays defense? ✔
What could go wrong?

 

[Bendium]

What a bullsh*t waste of time. A move to say they moved something. Worse than just not doing anything. I am beginning to think this front office might be over its head now that real team building is required, beyond hurry up and wait.

I will wait and see if our analytics darlings found something, but on the surface, this looks like they just added to the 7th dman logjam we were trying to clear.

I'm going to wait until the summer, but it does not give any confidence that's for sure.

They can send UPL in a paper transaction since he won’t be playing tomorrow.

 

[Mattilaus]

Did they already say who was playing tomorrow? We should be saving Anderson for Boston on Thursday.

 

[Chainshot]

They could also put Dahlin on IR.

 

[MOGlLNY]

They could also put Dahlin on IR.

It's possible. I don't want it to be a thing, but we can't rule it out until he's back on the ice.
