I wonder what the cost would be to re-acquire Lindberg?

if we are truely rebuilding on the fly, i think Yak and Grigorenko should be 2 players we focus on. 2 younger wingers that have show some promise in the past should be given a chance. I would much rather see those 2 playing than bring in a veteran winger.

also wouldnt mind a look at Jokipakka - good size. IDK much about his game but he is another young UFA.

I wouldn't mind giving Yakupov a shot, but, not expecting much

really if Sean Day has a chance to make this time out of camp, and can play the right side, it kind of changes things a bit

Still would be kind of nervous with Smith(if signed), DeAngelo, Day, Holden as the right side though.

it's a weird spot, because signing another vet defenseman, especially if it's a long term deal, blocks the way for these guys. Gotta include Pionk too in this.

DeAngelo seems like a dooooshbag in a guido at a Hamptons bar on a July friday night kind of way

there will be growing pains but the potential to have a top flight Dcore in the next year or 2 is a big bright spot. if Day makes the team, that would be 3 out of 6 of our starters under 24, and 2 under 22. that is VERY young for defense.

I am actually leaning towards only signing Smith OR Shatty. not both.

Oh yeah, for sure. I just think if we agree its a good thing, I wouldn't expect too much from that right side this year. Nobody flying off the handle...

I agree with your last sentence. I get the feeling they're keeping Smith on the hook in case they don't get Shattenkirk. If they sign both, they could have trouble with the cap in 18-19 and 19-20.

like Downeaster said this morning, Nash's cap hit comes off next summer

if they don't blow big bucks now, they really could be a monster next summer in the UFA game, especially if they also manage to get rid of Staal, trade or buyout

definitely hyping him up

but between Day, Pionk and Berzgelev, maybe the most responsible thing to do with be to just sign Brendan Smith, no other defenseman, and then give all these guys a clear opportunity thta isn't blocked by yet another long term contract
