Very doable. He had 18 goals this year on a down season.

now that we have some cap space, whats the highest $ / term you would give Mike Green?

I think $3.5 for 3 years is as high as I would go....I'm sure someone will give him more but to me, all we need is a bottom pair, RHD.

I'd rather spend the money on a 2nd-3rd line LW

He're hoping that there's not too much interest in Mike Green this summer and we can get him for real cheap/

Very doable. He had 18 goals this year on a down season.

Also, if Hunwick gets traded before the 19 draft, it turns into a 3rd.

From Eklund:



Did anyone else laugh out loud at the last part of that? People at my work think I'm crazy....

Ek is such a joke.

Does he have a good attitude? Is he soft? Can he carry the puck/ Can he win one on one battles?

Pittsburgh fans..your honest opinion of Sheary please.
- sabreadvocate1

One of the okayest of players of all time

Top 6 player on a bad team, will do nothing at all in the bottom 6 so good teams look for better/cheaper options with more upside on those lines

Had a nice stretch once playing with one of the best players of all time and another great young player (Guentzel) but the magic didn't last

Definition of a player who caught lightning in a bottle

Very doable. He had 18 goals this year on a down season.
- Victoro311

No he sucks remember

Does he have a good attitude? Is he soft? Can he carry the puck/ Can he win one on one battles?
- sabreadvocate1

Attitude? He won't be happy once he finds out he's on Buffalo

Soft? Pudding Soft....

Puck? Carries it for a while then inexplicably falls down for no reason

Battles?

Pittsburgh fans..your honest opinion of Sheary please.
- sabreadvocate1

He puts himself in good postion, he flubs some shots, he falls over A LOT. He won't play physical but he'll make good passes and find openings on the ice. His advanced metrics are really solid, should be good for 15-20 goals, maybe 40ish points. It'd be best to play him with a skilled center, so... Eichel would be my choice if you want him to hit his ceiling.

- sabreadvocate1

Good attitude? Sure.

Soft? Yeah, he's a midget.

Can he carry the puck? He falls over a lot?

Can he win one on one battles? Nah. He's the kinda guy who's gonna look for soft spots on the ice to get a shot off. He might flub a lot of those shots, but he puts himself in good position.

I would actually disagree. At his best, Sheary is pretty tenacious on the forecheck and working a cycle. Not with physicality of course, but he was pretty adept at using his quickness for prolonged offensive cycles.

I liked Sheary a lot. IMO this will look like a bad or good move depending on how they utilize this cap space.

It's a good day today...that is all.

I’d wait to see the next step before saying that. Moving unpopular players can be made worse by adding players who would be more unpopular.

I'm good with this lineup.
- j.boyd919

If geno-sprong and brass-kessel develop some chemistry and the 4th line doesn't include Kuhnhackl/Rowney/Simon should be plenty of depth scoring to go around

Theoretically, what would we offer for Skinner? Jarry/Hags/2nd? I don't see the need for it but that lineup would be.... something

Skinn - Sid - Horn
Jake - Geno - Sprong
Rust - Brass - Kessel
Kunitz - Sheahan - Duclair

De Haan would be awesome

- Rinosaur

Yeah I mean its all about the cap space. I'm really good with this move right now, but if we piss away the cap space on like Johnson and a Kunitz overpayment I'll be pretty pissed about it.

Sign Sheahan, give Oleksiak a bridge contract at around $1.5 million, and put that $6 or so mil of remaining cap space to good use by either signing JVR or low balling Green and bringing back Kunitz on a vet minimum.

You forgot sign '95 Fedorov and '06 Dany Heatley

The problem with Sheary is that he is an extremist version of inconsistency.

He will play like a superstar for 3 weeks and put up 14 points in 8 game, and then suddenly looks like a 4th line bum for the next 3 weeks and puts up 1 assist in 8 games.

You just have to hope that he is in phase 1 when you are fighting it out in the playoffs.

He reminds me of a goalie, but as a skater. Hot cold hot cold hot cold.
