assuming deslauriers is the 13th

I expect gionta to come back and a cheap vet

If they don't get gionta, maybe a sam gagner type and a cheap vet


if a kid wows them, deslauriers goes to rochester and if claimed oh well

I doubt Gionta turns us down, if we call
Seems like he wants to be here
But I couldn't blame him if he went to a contender

I like the Chad Johnson supposed signing
He was solid for us
And even though Ullmark is ready, we do need 3 goalies

Plus, having Ullmark in Rochester gives them a shot to actually be good
I'm with ya having the kids down there as well
They'll get more time up here with call-ups

Bonino seems like a logical choice
Would keep Sam on the wing though

Idk who else I'd like to see here

No interest in Versteeg
I'm still hoping Vegas is gonna trade Neal to us

I'd be ok if we signed Yakupov for 1 year
Only if we play him in the top6 though
He's proven he can't play in a bottom6 role

I'd love to go after Gagner. But in general it's going to be bottom tier guys. I don't want Bonino, too expensive. Versteeg is too old and slow. I'm staying away from Yak unless it's for the league min.

I'm assuming Yakupov would be cheap

I'd be cool with Gagner, but don't u think he'd cost as much as Bonino?
Both of them would probably get offers from better teams though

It'll be interesting to see what we do

Since I'm not expecting a big splash,
I'd be cool with us signing a couple guys we could move at the deadline

Deslauriers was originally a defensive prospect. Pretty sure GMTM converted him to wing, which he had played previously.

Why don't we throw him out there as the #6. Can't be worse than Gionta/Franson and has a heavy shot and lays the body.

My gf liked Jessica Jones for what it was. It wasn't spectacular but it far from sucked. I tuned in and out as she had it on and watched a few episodes, it was very well cast, had good acting and good style. Took itself seriously but not too seriously, which is why I considered it to be camp, which isn't a bad thing at all.

It avoided being kitsch, which was a feat in itself.

To be fair, he only converted to winger in 2014 and it was with Manchester, when he was 23 years old. They had 10 defense and 6 forwards when their training camp opened up that season. Then he was traded to Buffalo before even playing a game for LA, and called up almost as soon as he got here because of our own depleted roster. He basically had only played forward for a few months at that point.

Actually, I'm almost positive Nicolas Deslauriers was a defenseman in the NHL series as recently as NHL 14.

Just drop them in the toilet and see which one turns out the best.

Edit: There's your album/single name. Drop it in the Toilet.

And we all know it's a direct, authentic sim for the NHL. He was, I think he was in 16 too. But he played wing in Manchester. He actually had 39 points in 60 games in Manchester.

If he can play well defensively, then great
I'm not counting on it though
