I'll take a wild stab at it.....
Grigo is not an upgrade.
No move beats wasting one & a contract on top of this rebuild.

- Nighthawk


You said last thread he was an upgrade to Guance who should play LW and AHL depth player Chaput.

Del Zotto Nilsson Yakupov are all stop gaps the same as Megna or Chaput . They are only better quality stop gaps.

Sedin extension talk is still front and center and Tanev and Edler are still on the team. Like I said wake me up when they begin the rebuild. If Miller were available he would have been picked up by Benning

- VANTEL



So why bother with useless stop gaps to achieve what other than is a waste of contracts & money? As for aging vets it has no bearing on the rebuild other than vets r needed & not plugs from the pathetic UFA list.

Yes the rebuild is somewhat tainted with the Sedins here but somebody has to push them out before anything else matters. UFA's r gonna do that.

Unless we are trading Tanev and Demers is the D coming back, I don't see it.

I wouldn't mind Demers and DelZotto, Ferraro and Andersson woulld be ok also

Edler Stech
Del Zotto Demers
OJ Tanev
Hutton Gudbranson

- VANTEL



I can't see any coach who would want to deploy Tanev as a third pairing D with a prospect.

Demers as a trade really depends on cost. Not worth giving up any futures. If they take DD maybe balances out.

To be totally frank....

Next season cannot start soon enough for me with only signing a cheap as dirt back up goaltender. With all this talk of this UFA & that one even being discussed has me booking out til hockey talk once again is here.👋

Marwood said something about his weekend (have fun and be safe dude ) and I wanted to ask him. (if you wanna answer cool, if not none of my business)
How do you consume "the weed" ? I assume smoking, but edibles? shatter? keaf? The medical muscle cream?

Now in the form of a hockey.....

Because of more public acceptance and medical usage, can/should players be allowed to use medical weed to treat themselves, as opposed to painkillers. (maybe just the off season....but really weed IS NOT an "enhancement" drug)

Just curious.

Believe it's still one of the banned substances for NHL. If Canada passes nation wide legalization maybe there will be push among Canadian clubs. Problem is crossing the border it's a class A federal felony holding. With AG Sessions & Trump in States they probably won't even allow it under NAFTA.

NFL isn't getting any headway on this either and they have a lot of issues with pain treatment.

Chaput and Gaunce should be in Utica . Ferraro was a 31 OA pick and is better than either player. Ferraro would be a good cheep 4 th line center. more grit than Gaunce or Chaput.

I didn't say I laughed at EK rumor

Sure there is a kick of tires on Demers. Just don't see why and at what cost.

I seen it . I noticed your emoji.



As a general discussion we have a bad team and a lot of these scraps realize the could play a year or two here. So the question is

Would you like a bottom line of Pirri Yak and Ferraro or Gaunce Chaput and Dorsett?

Me personally I would like to give the new guys a chance and send Gaunce and Chaput to Utica .

Nilsson/Del Zotto is a good move I think, pretty low risk signing but there's some upside for both guys. They would fill roster spots for cheap as well.

I'd leave Bouma alone, frankly.

Yup, just load up on these guys and let them fight for spots. Makes camp more competitive. Internal competition has been weak for years with this team.


Who knows, you might find a decent 3rd liner in the garbage bin.

Bouma is a bigger Dorsett basically. Guy loves to throw hits, except unlike Dorsett, people don't just bounce off of him.
