Yeah, injury prone as it gets. We realistically could use 2 sold vet dmen but the track record of this the last couple years is not exactly good for us.
None of the good vets wants to play here.
We are undersized defensively without Samuelsson, so if it came down to it, I’d keep him for now if we can’t find a good experienced alternative

Gets hurt when he hits, gets hurt when he blocks shots. Ryan Johnson will be the better Dman

I like Jokers game. Ryjo pretty raw. Clifton reckless. I’d move Clifton and or Ryjo and keep joker.
Ryjo is Bryson 2.0

I don't see that at all.

No question. Someone will be gone. 90% Joker, 4% Clifton, 1% Samuelsson.
- Lunaion


Agreed, joker seams like the odd man out

A Healthy scratch doesn’t play themselves into a contract extension to often.

I think we get something decent for joker. Possibly a 2nd and prospect

Guy just came off a PPG season, and if I remember correctly there were a bunch on here winning last year because Skinner hardly ever played in OT. The hole team layed a Egg. Skinner is like 15th on the list of problems for this team.

I disagree - retain >50% and send him off for picks. The addition by subtraction thought works here. Liability.

I like joker as well

Healthy scratch to contract extension is questionable

Ryjo needs a few more games of seasoning before I’d move on imo . I’ve really liked his game with the limited opportunity.

If he doesn't go in the next 24 hours, I think it's probably more of hockey trade.

Think KA's going to deal for some 4th line grit. They need it and LOG never really brought that element. Don't think he wants to overpay for it in UFA. Identify some younger guys.

RJ + Clifton 51% xGF
RJ w/o Clifton 53.4%
Clifton w/o RJ 44.3%

Might not be the third pair you want, but I think it's better than people realize.

Flagged on accident, my bad.

I am hoping Adams is kicked in the face by a large bovine creature soon so Terry has no choice but to replace him. Nothing likely changes while he's at the helm. We may crack into the playoffs but actually building a contender is beyond his puny brain's capabilities.

Skinner is owed 10million dollars next year. And Pegula will never retain for that long.

My point exactly. Even if we fill the holes with decent forecheckers, are we any better?
If we fill the question marks with Savoie, Kulich, etc, we are likely worse. Benson being stuck on the team and occupying a full time spot makes this tricky too.
Smart move is to wait on all the young guys and do this maybe

Skinner/Tage/Tuch
JJ/Cozens/Quinn
??/??/??
Benson/Krebs/Greenway

I think Adams need to define short term when he proudly boasts how he will not sacrifice the long term for short term success. Is year 5 short term still?

It is hilarious, Adams can't move his junk while the rest of the league shuffles their junk.....all because he voluntarily over paid all of them....it's just one year though.

Guess Dave Pagnotta is saying Arizona is fielding Calls on Lawson Crouse. If this is True Kevyn, you better be one of those Calls

I will extract my bovine creature kicking hopes if he brings in Crouse for picks/prospects.

It’s been beaten to death yet the point is missed still to this day.

The term is biggest problem with the deal.

Even if you fix the fact he’s making $2-3M then he should be, won’t help the fact that the guy is a completely liability on the ice now and he gets to pollute the ice for another 3 years.

- Swedish_Jesus


Damn straight it is.

Complete liability when he's not scoring. And he's as streaky as they come.

Be better off paying the 2.5mil buyout and spend that 6.5mil on some actual hockey players.

You've been calling for him for how long now, would be exactly what we need up front.

Whats Phoenix looking for?
