- McGinn was in the 78th percentile of NHL forwards on zone entry denials. I love to see that, especially with how strong his other defensive numbers are. Could be a great partnership with Teddy Blueger.

So we have ERod replacing Tanev and McGinn replacing McCann... yeah, this is going well. Should have signed Gaudreau over ERod without a second of hesitation. And we have a little cap space left to replace Ceci and somehow upgrade our goaltending even though the great majority of goalies are already signed.

I for one respect the risk taking Hextall is making... Looks like he is betting everything on a 2.5% chance that we miss the playoffs and win the lottery to get Wright.

Good to hear. If they can somehow figure out how to land Saad, I’ll forgive this.

Like Tanev, I fully expect him to be a good on-ice player, his cap hit just closes the door to doing pretty much anything substantial now and we still have to holes in the top 9.

It's not the player as much as the contract he was given that will take away from getting better players.

Yeah, I agree, just providing some info. Bad contract. I would have liked Freddy for his price next to Teddy.

I think he's fine with Friedman (or Rudy) being RD on the bottom pair. He drafted him and picked him up off waivers. In his limited action he looked good as well. F Ceci. Dont care if I ever hear his name again haha

I hope it’s Erod replacing Freddy, McGinn replacing Tanev, and Saad replacing McCann.

Ain't no money for Saad homie. They got like 4m left and have to sign/arbitrate ZAR. Nothin happens without moving someone out.

Maybe they did go to guys like Saad and either they said no or the amount and term is a heck a lot more than 4 years at $2.75 mill per.

Well, I can only hope so too.

On another note, what the hell is up in LA. They have about 4 or 5 top notch Center prospects coming up and they just signed Danault to a huge contract...

Let's get on the phone with them now about Villardi! Would love to bring him in as a 3C. Or any of their other prospects for that matter. Pettersson and Poulin for Maata and Villardi... lets go!

Yeah I know it can’t happen as the roster stands now. Which is why I used the word hope, knowing other moves need to be made
