he is their only right handed shot on the roster

so if they don't want him ...........................

I’m not saying we necessarily keep playing him when we are all healthy….

They want rid of his Cap, doesn’t mean he’s garbage

If he’s coming for free, plus a sweetener,
why not?

- jdfitz77

I'd rather stick with pilut and fitz as the 7th and 8th

plus the sweetener is probably a 7th

Go look at his numbers, he's actually not bad
Dahlin
Lyubushkin
Holl
Wouldn't be a bad RD

Bringing in Holl while we’re all banged up doesn’t mean we have to get rid of one of them when we’re all healthy
Keep whoever plays the best, send down who doesn’t

Nothing wrong with having another option
He’s a “ok” player

Losing this many defensemen at once is usually a freak thing, and they're more than weathering the storm without them. They're still very top heavy up front. I'd rather go get a forward from somewhere.

Not realistic
And even at half off, the length of his contract left (5 years) makes him a bad idea
He’s 32 & been breaking down for years now

If we lose the guy we determine to be our 9th defenseman,
then I’m ok with that

Karlsson is already not the guy he used to be
I don’t wanna be stuck with him when he completely falls off a cliff

He’s too old
With too many injuries
And too big of a contract

Too risky
Not to mention what we’d have to give up to get him

joker is coming back in a week?

lyubushkin is already back


I would have liked it a week ago before pilut and clague settled in

plus lyubushkin and holl don't have a great history in the first round of playoffs

He’s for free plus a sweetener, even if that sweetener isn’t much

Worst case, we send him to Rochester to help them out

I don’t see the downside

Yeah, and he’s already battered

What do we have to give up for him too?
Especially if the Sharks are holding half his salary

Also,
does Power need a partner who’s gonna push the offense, or just a guy who’s solid & steady in his own end ?

Is Lilgegren RH? I think he was hurt and is making his way back. Possibly why they need the space, both cap and roster wise. All would depend on the plus I guess. Seems like a favor to him when you can send him anywhere but just ask to send him down the road.
