Teams do this all the time more importantly good teams...

I want to be that good team. Let Botterill build the best team he can and he will deal with the cap when that time comes

- Stripes77

Which is kind of my point. Makes 0 sense to do it now.

If he's a great fit under Housley, and proves he's a core piece, try and sign him before the deadline.

Take care of Eichel, Sam, Beaulieu, Lehner etc first and see what the future looks like

Tried to reply and I flagged you...

Bonino or Vanek on a 1 year deal. I still think the later makes sense, even if it'll be perceived as a nostalgia move given today

How do we know they fit under Housley? why is it just him. Seems like you are singling him out.

We don't. But they are all going to be short term contracts I'd imagine

Kane would be another long term one

I've been saying Vanek since last year. His 5v5 numbers are excellent. And that's what this team needs more than anything. Pominville should help that, but he probably won't get the ice time to make a huge difference there. Would help to add another guy who's great there too.

Why a guy that was just bought out?

If he was so good he wouldn't have been bought out.

Taking a flier on a guy is one thing, doing whatever it takes is another.
