I still think that one upgrade comes on the D

and maybe a plug and play LW

I'm not sure how Botts can make any significant moves on the blue line unless Bogo is moved out for cap space and he moves either Kane or Reinhart unless a package of these players are moved with a high draft pick:

Assuming no other NHL roster moves are made for the summer (no idea if there will or won't be), one of Pominville or Pouliot would have to be in the top 6 I would think.

Making any more free agency moves for the NHL roster could be highly unlikely w/o a trade. I think you wait until development camp so the org can get their eyes on all the prospects, see who has a chance to make the opening night roster. Then go from there. Maybe there's a quality 4th liner out there that can perform better than DLo. But this roster is more or less set as far as starting positions are concerned.

so your assuming Rads only half a$$ed it for the preds

and now that he got paid for 1 good year, he is going to continue to play at a high level


it's funny, because you just praised rads for 1 good year, and dis Kane for the same

- homiedclown


Rads has always been good and could of been top 5 in the NHL if he did not leave

Well it's either Pouliot or Moulson. Pommer doesn't have it in him to be an effective top 6 winger anymore. And that's fine. That third line is going to get a massive all situations boost.

Paul Byron was only 11 points behind him.. Paul Effing Byron.

also he didn't have the most points for the habs and Shea Weber was the best player during their early season take off

Giving a 31 year old forward that amount of money for that long especially a guy that quit in his team in the past...

2-3 year deal sure...6 years that not something I would have wanted here.

I remember thinking Pouliot sucked when he played with the Habs and think he blows now. I was right then and am right now. He'll be tolerable for a year I guess. Total meh signing.

My go-to has been Founders All Day IPA. It's not the best one out there, but it's pretty good for being only 4.7% alcohol. It's a good pace for spending the entire day drinking.

His contract reflects his ability. He's a stop gap and has the ability to put up 30-40 points, which is better than what Ennis provided for 3.5 million more.

he put up 54 points last season, 37 and 58 points for his 2 full seasons with the preds. let's not put him in the conversation with Kucherov because it's not, was not nor will ever be worthy of anyone's time
