So you would rather end up with Silayev/Dickinson/Iginla and Boisvert than Demidov?
I’d rather have Lindstrom and Connelly. If Lindstrom isn’t there, then Iggy and Connelly
Agree to disagree then. I think we need quality more than quantity at this point.
He had so many chances to show promise and establish himself, sadly he couldn't and should get a fresh start elsewhere
they might be in the mix but surely they can’t be front runners, but they are the two teams that will get you the most click…
With the multiple Tampa connections I wouldn’t be shocked if he signed here. The don’t think he will though
I feel like the Preds have been trying to move into the top of the draft, every year the last 3 years, by dangling Askarov.
McGroarty is really the only thing that Hughes should look into. I doubt we do anything else. Let Hutson/Reinbacher/Mailloux gain more experience and Demidov will have another year in Russia. Dvorak/Armia/Petry/Allen will be off the books and we can look at adding some serious pieces. I'm sure a team would be interested in Anderson at 50% retained, and a Gally buy out next year would have a cap hit of 1.75 for 3/4 years with a cap hit of 4.25 in that second year.
Chevy isn't one to settle on value, so McGroarty would likely cost something like Mailloux. I could have seen Hughes entertaining it if Demidov/Lindstrom didn't make it to us, but now he's probably not as desperate. It's tough to give up on Mailloux's size/skating/tools combo as much as I like McGroarty. Roy could be someone of interest to them, but it would be really hard to not wait and see what Roy does before trading him.
