Who is this year's Brandon Hagel?

[chosen]

Not sure if they're willing to part with him but he is a UFA. I wonder if NYR could get Kuzmenko from the Canucks. Granted he has a crazy high shooting % but could be a good rw fit that doesn't cost a ton of cap space. Other than him, players with term that might be of interest to could be Morgan Frost, Barabnov from SJ. Even though he took out Chytil and ran Shesty, I could see Dru inquiring about Lafferty from Chi. Not going to put up points but def would bring bite to the bottom 6. It's prob what Dru hoped Blais would be with more scoring. Final one is maybe Troy Terry from Anaheim. He's an RFA, had a sick year last year, great year this year. 25 so he might not fit into Anaheim's plans long term esp with all the younger forwards already on the team, plus what they have in the pipeline

Tough to see Anaheim sending off Terry.

I've only seen Kuzmenko a few times. He's pretty gifted offensively, but he also disappears. Granted, that's a very small sample.

Sophomore slump. scored 24 goals last year 41 points and 130 PIM. Willing to go the net. Unlike some that look for the pretty plays

He's willing to go to the net because he has as much talent as my cat.

He absolutely shot the lights out when he had decent production and now that he's converting at a normal rate, he's a 4th liner.

Is your cat interested in a bottom 6 role?what type of money/treats is it looking for?Does kitty bring toughness?

I've seen him disembowel mice, so the toughness is there.

Pay is going to be difficult. He's not sure what flavor he wants from hour to hour.

He’s a solid 4th liner though.

X-Goodrow-Jeannot is a really really solid playoff 4th line

I wouldn't mind him as a 4th liner but Nashville and/or his agent could leverage those high shooting % seasons into larger returns.

Easy pass.If I'm giving up Krav and a 1st in a very deep draft,it has to be for a much better return

I know everyone thinks it is likely we will trade a first +

i don't think its likely,
and strongly i hope NYR don't

add a couple appropriate depth guys, for reasonable cost,
and go to war with the young guys in higher-leverage roles

this is considered a very deep draft,
hoping they add guys we can all actually, rationally expect great things from
