I don't know enough about Rod Streater to tell you whether or not he was

Tim Murray would have traded for this guy yesterday, of course with no actual knowledge as to whether or not he would sign with us
- mattmoulson

Because those 5th round picks are oh so valuable

I bet Murray could have traded a third for a guy that actually would have played with us
Other than Ehrhoff, who the Islanders flipped to us immediately, I don't think I've ever seen a team trade for a free agent in the off season that didn't sign with them

Bailey-Erod-Baptiste is the Truth

Reinhart off with an injury

edit: back

Yea they will make for a great 4th line next year.

take a look at the leafs, tampa, nashville, and winnipeg forward lineups and tell me if they play on any of their 3rd lines.

Correct. Also unless the scoring rates of both those players increase they will end up on the 4th line.

This.

Our goal shouldn’t be to ice a competent lineup.

It should be to ice a cup contending lineup

yeah but that's not going to happen next year.


Nylander's future is still up in the air and who knows where we end up picking. They may end up being there because they are actually the best players here for that role

Smith, Nylander, Free Agents and trades are the answers to the question marks on the left side.

What if they don't get Zadina/Svechnikov?

top 6 will be some variation of: Eichel, Okposo, Reinhart, O'Reilly, FA signing and maybe Benoit balls returns

That leaves some combo of: Rodrigues, Bailey, Baptiste, Mittelstadt, Smith and maybe a depth signing or re signing wilson.

Sure, but there's also the whole crawl before you walk before you run thing. Isn't that your biggest problem with Murray he tried to cut out the walking bit?

If Pouliot is in your top 6 you're not making the playoffs.

Right but I just mean our standards in general, and how JB should approach becoming a contender.

He should absolutely consider guys like Baptiste and Bailey bottom 6’ers at best until they prove otherwise

oh yeah i agree, he probably wants to run it with three scoring lines anyways but I think they could be legitimate top 9 fwds when this team is ready to compete.

Feels like you're projecting 2 years out, not next year.

Jordan Nolan probably has the same points per 60 minutes played on the ice even strength as ror
