Damn heat

Really happy with this offseason so far. We improved our depth all over by a ton

Some real interesting signings. I dig it. There's a hole at #2 LW, still, though. By the sounds of it, JBotts knows this. I don't think he's done, whether it be in FA or trade.

ROCHESTER

Alexander Nylander - Seth Griffith - Nicholas Baptiste
C.J. Smith - Kevin Porter - Justin Bailey
Vaclav Karabacek - Sean Malone - Eric Cornel
Alex Kile - Kyle Criscuolo - Justin Danforth

Justin Falk - Taylor Fedun
Brendan Guhle - Matt Tennyson
Brycen Martin - Casey Nelson
Devante Stephens - Anthony Florentino

Linus Ullmark
Adam Wilcox
Jonas Johansson
Jason Kasdorf



Yikes. Team might do some damage.

Still sounds pretty rough to me. No top pairing defenders and only one true top line player. They are going to be really bad.
- RhinoFan

I agree
Vegas is clearly tanking

How does it feel to be right about the cost of acquiring a top4 defender?

Feels pretty good don't it
- RhinoFan

Lol...
I'm always right though
A legend in my own mind anyways!
Hahaha

(There's plenty I end up being wrong about too, for the record)

Dahlen? (SP?)

Jacob Josefson? Great signing
- chilliard77

This really is a good signing. Dare I say, if GMJB can move Go to, he might have a perfect off-season.

Did you just talk about a shutout, with 2 minutes left, in a 2-0 hockey game bro? LOL

better, wonder what the odds of gionta re-signing are. If JB isnt willing to budge on term/dollars...i imagine hell have other offers from contending teams

Term will determine. If another team offers 2-3 years he's gone. I doubt we get tied in for longer than a year.

Sounds like you hope he signs him, yes?

im indifferent. There are times where his Napoleon complex and his unwillingness to accept the fact that hes no longer a 40 goal scorer drives me nuts.

Having said that, he still brought a decent amount of value 5v5 and would allow them to keep the younger guys in rochester, at least for the year. given what's out there, it may be the right move.


Edit: i forgot we have pominville now, so maybe he doesnt make a ton of sense unless its a massive pay cut

When you say Napolean complex, I assume you mean when he attempted to make plays he can really no longer make due to his age and diminished skill?

no i mean anytime a defender kinda nudged him out of the crease he had a hissy fit over it.

like nathan gerbe was 3 inches shorter and didnt throw a tantrum when neil patted him on the head. he just went out there and scored an absolute beauty lol

Dahlen? (SP?)
- jochfr

Maybe not for him specifically
But it sure seems like they wanna pick high in the draft

As you get older, your tolerance for BS becomes substantially shorter.

You'll learn

Can Asplund change his mind and come join Rochester?
