Filppula is not good defensively.
I guess I don’t know much about his defensive ability.
I think a faceoff guy with good defense would serve this team better.

No Flyer fan wants to see him back, that should tell you everything.
Riley Nash would be a good get, or Jay Beagle for cheap
Maybe, don't see the Wings trading him though since he is young and on a cheap contract for 3 more years.What about trading for Luke Glendening? He’s like a younger Beagle with better underlying stats. Pretty similar in the dot.
Filppula could be huge for this team. Solid shutdown C. Just wonder if we get him how they built lines because if they want to increase Toews offense and let him play easier minutes and let Filppula handle tougher competition, who is going to play with him?
Hayden - Toews - Kane (2nd toughest competition)
DeBrincat - Schmaltz - Sikura (pure offense)
Saad - Filppula - Hinostroza (shutdown)
Kahun - Kampf - Wingels (6-8min 4th line duty)
Is Ward all we have to talk about? No word on the big prices? Trade rumours?
I like Ward, always did. I think he would be a solid backup. I think he can help us and teach a bit. He even could take on some load, something Forsberg couldn't
Sign Wingels for the 4th line and let him mentor/help the kids on the bottom 6
No thanks to Filppula
Spend on Moore on D and Hutton in Nets .... just go with the kids
I just can't get past my pre-existing opinion on Carter Hutton. Guy figured it out at 31? Not saying that doesn't happen, but man am I waiting for the other shoe to drop. Not a fan.
I guess Cam Ward is the inverse Carter Hutton. Figured it out then unfigured it out.

Ward figured it out and Halak'd the Canes to a cup.
I agree
Woof for Sabres indeed
Anything more than 1.5m for next year, and a backup role, would be a woof for the Hawks on Ward.
It's a woof not matter what he signs for. If he plays for the Hawks its a woof. Hopefully they bring in a capable #3 LOL
Sort of a woof anyway if they can take the extra 750k and spend it on a defenseman or forward.
I think he can be a solid enough backup, or at the very least, more reliable than Forsberg or someone else, at a decent price point, if coming in under 1.5m. If he sees 25-30 games behind Crow, he'd probably be fine, honestly.
I think he's bad, as a starter. But it's possible he could be a solid enough backup.
Who knows, though. I just don't want them to sign him at like 2-3m for a couple years, with the expectation that Crow is done, and Ward will be starting... It seems like it's basically a done deal at this point, so now it's just a matter of how much, and how long. And will he be a BU, or the starter. Hopefully under 1.5m and less than two years, and as a BU.
