Speculation: 2022-23 Roster Building, Trade Rumors & Free Agents VII

[RussellmaniaKW]

then why are we wasting time w/ Lucic.... that era is OVER.....


NOPE, once the deal was made it's done.....


let's bring everybody back that's been retired for the last 50 years and had their #'s retired.... including 8 and 77

yeah it's definitely the same thing to bring back a guy who is actively playing in the NHL and to bring back guys who have been retired for 20+ years.

Just really A+ brilliant posting & analysis. You're adding a ton of value to the conversation, keep it up dude.

If his blocked shots/60 doubled in the postseason compared to his regular season it makes me think Cassidy told him to plant himself in one specific spot where Carolina likes to shoot from I would think.(Assuming the coaching staff had the Canes PP well scouted) Either that or it was just an anomaly.

Carlo only had 2 less blocked shots than Forbort did in that series and I don't see as much praise for him interestingly enough.

That's absolutely what happened. A lot of his blocked shots came on the PK where he was playing down low near the crease. He planted himself in one spot and took away a shot Carolina kept looking for.

It was an effective strategy and kudos to him for never bailing out. He stood there and took shot after shot from up close.

that's why Lucic isn't coming back here, and why do posters bring back an era.... that doesn't exist now, this is why this organization hasn't embraced the current direction of the NHL.....

Yeah, fans liking the thought of Lucic coming back for 1 year in 2022 is definitely the reason why management has made all their decisions over the past few years. Because no other teams in the NHL have enforcer/tough players to protect each other. Definitely not even Colorado. But sure.

however, the organization still markets as the era of the 1970s, how many times has the clip of Lucic on Van Ryn been played constantly since it occurred

Have you looked at the Habs roster? They are all big.

Colorado doesn't have Lucic type fighters but Makar and Girard are the only two players that are 'undersized' at all Rantanen, Landeskog, Nischuskin are huge by modern NHL standards.

Nearly every offseason we make a moronic signing like Backes or Foligno to bring back what we lost in Lucic.

no, Brad.... remember Hall was targeted for how long by Landeskog UNTIL He was told to knock it off

Pretty sure poor van ryn never played again after that.

 

[bruinmann77]

well the Bruins have as tough guys or enforcer/protector ????????????????????????

Not till Marchand comes back

 

[GordonHowe]

I think it's vital to get the new kids into the lineup ASAP. Playing with Bergy and DK can really build on their growth. Between those two and Monty, hopefully we'll see some success in terms of the new blood.

My understanding from what JM has said is that this will be the case.

That is, Patrice, JBD, Marchand; DK, David, Zacha. When everyone is healthy. Unless something crazy happens, I would start Lysell on the third line. Assuming he's up here at some point. Even if he's in Providence the entire season, there's nothing wrong with that.
No rush.

Probably a smart (and somewhat obvious) idea. Didn't Bergy say that Marty Lapointe in his final year was somewhat his mentor?

 

[Therick67]

He got a concussion in November of 09 and his career didn't last much longer.

Not just his mentor, he was his landlord. Patrice lived with the Lapointes his rookie year.

I actually forgot about that but now that you mention I do remember that. I was only like 12 at the time so kind of a blurry memory lol.

And there you have it.

Probably a smart (and somewhat obvious) idea. Didn't Bergy say that Marty Lapointe in his final year was somewhat his mentor?

Yes. Patrice lived with LaPointe and his wife rookie year.

 

[Hookslide]

If you could sign Suban for less than a mil, and trade Gryz when healthy for a pick sure. If not no thanks

I would be more interested in moving Reilly before Gryz........

 

[GordonHowe]

I could be wrong but I don't think they trade Gryz. They don't have a lot on defense, and his skill set is superior to Reilly's, at least in my opinion. Some of those skills overlap.MR goes, of the two.

 

[ON3M4N]

Sounds like Rangers prospect Nils Lundkvist has requested a trade. #28OA in 2018 whose a offensive minded RHD and is reported to have top 4 upside. Bruins could use some more RHD prospects as there isn't much in the system right now.

They probably gonna ask for lohrei. They aren't gonna take scraps.

Who said they'd take scraps lol

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Can we give Swayman the deal Oettinger got?

 

[ON3M4N]

A 3yr deal walks Swayman right to UFA status when it expires

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Okey dokey

That would be a great deal.
