What do you guys think it'll take to get Chychrun out of AZ?

He can play both sides like Brodie, but he's a left hand shot.

Wonder if we could put Sandin on the right side. Not sure I want to give him up unless it's another young defenseman.

- gravyface


Sandin's been pretty bad every time he's played on RD.

I wouldn't want to trade him either, but if it's for Chychrun, I would. Chychrun is fantastic.

Agreed. Leafs would need to add way more for that treasure trove of assets.

Brodie
Muzzin
Liljergen
Sandin
Giordano
Subban


Very solid. With injuries and the fact we probably don’t want Gio and Muzzin playing all 82 there won’t be a problem playing them all.

1. Jon Cooper is a smug (frank)ing bumhole. Thinks he's the smartest guy in the room all the time.

2. Good call in Tampa tonight on the two no goals

Just so we are clear here when discussing the cap. Without moving out any pieces they are currently at 7+ in cap space. I mean, I definitely think this off season isn't as gloomy as some might think.

Elite talent will get you through times of no cap space better than cap space will get you through times of no elite talent.

Gosh remember when Tavares took that hometown discount to join his childhood team? The more players that do this, the worse JT's deal looks. Gio doesn't even have an NMC.

Lot of dudes to sign though:

UFAs:

1 x 3rd liner (Mickey)
2 x 4th liners (Blackwell, Spezza)
1 x starting goaltender
1 x 1st pairing D (Laboosh)

RFAs:
2 x 3rd/4th liners (Engvall, Kase)
2 x 4/5/6 defensemen (Lillybust, Sandin)

So like 5 forwards, 3 D, and a starting goalie for 7M.

I don't see how either Weegar or Brunette can be upset that that was called as a penalty. I mean. It is one.

One guy was in his prime at 27, the other is 39.

Remember the part I said "before moving any pieces?" This doesn't include freeing up additional cap space.

Plus you only need 5 players as a roster is usually 23 players. Kallgren is showing on this roster so it's closer to 8 million before Mrazek or anyone is moved.
