I am not expecting much, but if one team takes it seriously, maybe even one player, it could get interesting.

or it could be as intense as an old timers game.

Why did I see Russell signed in Florida for 5 years $23.75m???
I haven't drank that much today...

Edler for Nuge would be a no brainer from our end.

Aren't they the same person?

Oh okay. Thanks. Appreciate it.
Thought I was losing my mind.

and you are right, it is going to get quiet around here. can't expect too much to happen between now and that little hockey tourney in September.

maybe 1 trade if Sbisa is on the move or a winger.

maybe some depth/Utica signings

I think they got some Utica signings done already. They signed like 5 people besides Eriksson. I hope they try to trade this summer still for another middle 6 forward.

if that general fanager is correct 41/50 contracts, still room to sign some more.

Not necessarily. Non AHL players, IE Juolevi, Breisbois,, etc. Don't take up roster spots but will when they become pros. Good to keep some room so less has to be moved around when players turn pro. They could but I don't think it's necessarily mandatory. Hopefully a trade can happen.

We still need to sign a forward and Pedan.

For sure but we don't need to fill the roster. Pedan and Zalewski are still unsigned RFA'S that were qualified. That plus a forward or two.

That's bold...you think Rodin is ready?

I would like to see Hansen traded for some return.

Hear the forward will come via trade, presumably there will be $ going the other way.

JB came out and said it.

where are you hearing this?
- LordHumungous

I think JB said that after the draft.

It can be predicted a bit by the contract too. 1 way contracts are essentially a big sign they want them to make the team his year. Definitely not a sure thing but I think we could see a trade this summer to open at least a roster spot for 1 or 2 of Larsen and Rodin.

I think if he wasn't ready JB would not waste cap space and a roster spot.

For those saying trade Hansen , think again. He is a great player . He is fast , he averages 17 goals, he is great on the PK , he is a very good two way player with very good speed. He has a great cap hit and is great in the room. You don't just give away players like that for second round picks.

Some are convinced that second round picks are better than actual players.

It doesn't change the fact he is a bottom 6 forward. If he plays in our top 6 this year then it's a sign that we are back to the lottery again. I like Hansen and what he brings but if we somehow had a possible scenario to trade for a middle to top 6 forward with Hansen being a piece to move, I'm all for it. Not just for picks though.
