Halak sucks.

They could really use Markstrom & a Sutter type.😁

It doesn't surprise me , any management that wants to bring back two 38 year olds with NMC to a rebuild team can do little to surprise me anymore

Edler is our best offensive dman for the foreseeable future

I guess the counter argument is that Hutton's value is going to go lower and lower if Green continues to slot him as the 7th dman.
- Nucker101

Logjam with too many 3rd pairing D is our issue.
Need 1-2 D traded IMO

I honestly did not want Jimbo back. The term rudderless boat is what I always think of

Wow. Weird comparison. Goligoski is more offensive minded and considered mediocre defensively. De Haan is considered to be a guy who’s just solid all-around and is trusted to play on the PK.
- Nucker101

Solid 4/5 defenseman. Wouldnt mind having him at all.

He'd be a good target, won't be cheap.

NYI and OTT are on pace to have worse GA season since 2014.

He’s a legit 2nd pairing dman. I’d say he’s a very good #4 and serviceable #3.

ok, that's fine. But are we really going to pay a bottom pairing D man over 4 mill to be good on the PK and to play 12 minutes a night?
- Codes1087

Thats a static point of view.
Think man think...
D can be traded & new look D

- VanHockeyGuy

Somewhere in the 5 million range would ne fair, anything over 6 os too much.

okay, ignoring the hyperbole.


Who here prefers to sign EG at around 4M instead of trading him for a 2nd round pick?

Me any day

He would be a #2 on our team.

2nd best player in the draft👍

at no point did I mention salary. If a player is overpaid it doesn't mean they aren't "serviceable."
- CanuckDon

The question is what is overpaid?
For 4m is going to be 5% cap.
Not a big deal IMO

We do have a habit of playing players out of position

I think you’d like him. Goal scorer who isn’t soft and also randomly loses his cool once in awhile and takes it out on opponents.

Sure doesn't seem like it looking at the numbers.

Whatever the deal is, has to be enough term and AAV for Gudbranson to want to forgo UFA. He’s making $3.5M now, so will be looking for some type of raise, no doubt. Three years with an AAV that starts with a 4 or thereabaouts, give or take a 200K? That would be my best guess.
- VanHockeyGuy

4 year 14 mil would be okay to me, but that ain't happening.

its funny because in this last little stretch, it seems like Guddy has shown a little more offense. If we had more of a puck mover, mobile d man to partner up with him, I think that would be the best fit. but we don't.

I hope the little grit, or threat of grit, Guddy has shown can be replaced.

I’d be ok With $3.75MM per season....I fear he gets $4MM plus

It doesn’t need to be replaced by the sounds of it.

Now let’s just hope Vanek isn’t getting signed next
