Great signing, I was expecting 6x6 but In Gorton We Trust.. wouldn't budge on the term, this is clearly his club & Sather is just just sitting in the high tower sucking on unlit Cubans all day, right where he should be

So no true top line center, what are we looking at?
Zibby
Hayes
?
Boo/Anderson? if he REALLY impresses(although see him spending a year with the pack)


What are we looking at left as a Third liner with Bonnino gone?

Defense is rebuilt on the fly IMO, good job
- KreiderBomb

You have to figure Staal or Holden are 7th D, with deangelo the 6th. Maybe they do get rid of Holden to get his money off too. Really for a pick I'd be fine haha

They might not have been......he could have said listen, I want 7x7 but what will you give me. I don't believe they were actively showing interest

Well Fast is a utility RW.

I still wouldn't count Marleau out, moving him back to center would be unlikely since he hasn't played down the middle since the late 90's haha.

Looks like we may be filling from within.. Perhaps Miller centering the third

I don't think they'd have to, probably a 3rd

Maybe a 3rd and Holden if they keep trading dmen away out there

Not picking on holden lol, but it seems obvious he's gonna get traded. His 1.6 isn't gonna play because Staal is, especially if Deangelo is his partner

After a few games down in the A, Maybe he can slide into the 3rdC & Boo takes the 4th.

Is Miller a non option at center?

Shatty taking a bigger discount so NY can also sign Thornton, Jagr, and Marleau...the scariest line in the world...in 2005
- Maskdman3

Shhhhh! Sather is still part of the organization.
Maybe Jagr 1 year, and possibly Thornton only.

Ranges are out on both Marleau and Thornton now that Shatty signed according to McKenzie

Holden better give him #22!!
- Slimtj100

If he is not willing to, I'm sure that on opening night you will hop onto the ice and rip it off Holden's body, and give it to Shatty.

Yeah wonder if Miller can do C still.
