Got a month guys before we need to really panic.
I'm beginning to think that's what Stevie needs to do. All of these garbage UFA signings are at best gonna make this into a bubble team. Tear it all down and restart with prospects.honestly, i won't be mad if we miss the playoffs this year
1. let the kids crush it in their respective leagues, compete for championships
2. get another top 10 pick
3. let kane, petry, maatta, husso, lyon, fischer, motte contracts expire. leave enough cap space to cover kane's bonus this season
4. keep sending holl up and down in the hopes that someone claims him at some point
5. staple a 2nd to copp to make him go away
6. let lalonde's contract expire. hire someone new
7. have almost $18m in cap space to sign a superstar free agent
8. have the courage to promote 9 rookies next year, roll with this lineup
debrincat - larkin - raymond
mazur - kasper - tarasenko
berggren - danielson - brandsegg-nygard
soderblom - compher - rasmussen
veleno
johansson - seider
edvinsson - sandin-pellikka
chiarot - tuomisto
wallinder - gustafsson

If Elmer is scared to get hit, he should've played goalie like his brother. He treats the puck like a hot potato in the D zone, it hasn't changed, and he'll be back in the SHL next season.No way yzerman plays 9 rookies next year and we wouldn't be any where near the cap
32 saves for arvid soderblom and jets just ruined his shut out with a minute left lmao was about to say we grabbed the wrong soderblom... jinxed him haha
I mean half of that is probably happening even if we have a good season and either make the playoffs or get very close.honestly, i won't be mad if we miss the playoffs this year

We can always try to trade Larkin to Montreal and Slafkovsky and a defenseman for us.
Yzerman isn't trading Larkin and Montreal isn't trading Slaf.
