I'd like to see one or both of those contracts moved.

And I'm not looking for a home run with a Streit trade, just a move that would help the team, either now or later.

- 77rams

Agreed.

I'd be fine with:
MDZ-Schultz
Medvedev-Grossmann
Some combo of Gudas, Manning, Ghost and/or Morin.

It's time to stop spending a fortune on mediocre Dmen

I think Shanahan runs the show.
- MJL

Obviously, but he's not the GM and I doubt he's going to give himself that designation.

With Shanahan there, they don't really need a GM.

So many defense combos...two guys at a minimum are getting moved, and it's fascinating to think about how they'll play it, because you have no real idea what other teams want

I think he has the ability and the talent to be a good PP QB, but he hasn't been so, to this point.
- MJL

He has been average.. like you said. I think a lot of that has to do with being given the proper opportunity. If he gets to play with G and Jake and co. on the top pp this year I think he will do really well.

I believe it was 6.1 for 2 years

I'm assuming this isn't the Randy Jones $2.75M for 2 years.

Del Zotto is much better offensively at 5 on 5 and on the rush then he is at the point on the PP. I think it's about more then just being given the opportunity. I think Del Zotto at the point on the #1 unit would be a significant downgrade from Striet.

The Leafs thread must be full of anger and disgust. They hired that (frank)ing bum Babcock.

and does that mean Toronto is giving Detroit a 3rd round pick?

The good thing about Babcock being on board in Toronto is, I think the pass over Strome and Marner.

Medvedev sounds intriguing. Looking purely at numbers he's been a good player in the KHL.

Wonder if adding a Russian veteran D-man is a sign that the Flyers are looking at drafting a Russian defenseman by way of the Brandon Wheat Kings....

That said, his career on the bigger ice and reported two way ability means he's probably a good skater and fits the mold of what Hextall and Hakstol have stated their desire is.

new blood can't be a bad thing. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting a different result. Bringing back the same d core next year that finished the season would be that to a T.

One year deal for the Russian at 3 million.

Doubt they'd pass on Strome, but what I read is that he doesn't get past Arizona

Arizona needs to pick a guy like strome. They need offense badly.
