Ha. So basically we know nothing.
I had assumed this bridge was very very burned.

Wow, shocked but very happy about this. My guess is he will be our #3 LHD here after Gards goes back on LTIR.
Slavin - Burns
Skjei - Pesce
CDH - Bear
That's a great group of defensemen there.

It’s also ironic because he’d essentially be replacing the failed experiment we replaced him with.

We legitimately might have the most well rounded roster we've ever had as a franchise this season. And I really don't think I'm exaggerating here. By the time MaxPac comes back in February, things could get really interesting for us.

I really like those pairings, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they dealt Bear during camp and gave Coghlan the 3rd pair RD slot.
Time for my favorite Critic gag ever, because I could not have foreseen this:

I've said a couple times this offseason. Just because something gets treated as gospel around here, doesn't make it so. It's nice he was able to put things aside, because he might have a real chance to come in as a cheap, third pair option that we could really use. And for a presumably cheap price if he signs, well worth any injury, or even meh play risks.

I mean we signed Dzingle and deHaan this offseason. Everything we thought we knew was a lie!

Wow.
Drama aside, how even is his play anymore that he's having to go the PTO route? Hasn't he had a couple shoulder surgeries since he last put a canes jersey on?

Potential playoff lineup
Svech - Aho - Turbo
Patches - KK - Jarvis
Stastny - Staal - Fast
Necas - Drury - Kase
Slavin - Burns
Skjei - Pesce
CDH - Bear
Freddie
Raanta
Healthy Scratch: Coghlan, Chatfield, Martinook, Dzingle
Man.... that's a deep, deep lineup. And even then, you can probably flip a few of the forwards around based on matchups and still roll 3 legitimate scoring lines while having a defensive shutdown one. Man....

Yeah, I heard from many Chicago fans at times how bad he was, but I think it might be one of those situations where with a bad team, almost everyone gets harsh assessments. It's probably even worse with a guy like de Haan that doesn't put up counting stats even when he is good. The good news is, we get to try him out first and even if we sign him, he's probably cheap. He also does seem like a good potential style fit beside a Bear or Coghlan.
And don't sleep on Coghlan. He was smacking dingers at the ballpark the other day.

Kinda shocking after the way his departure was handled. Would be a great add for the third pair if he can stay healthy and Gardner is in fact cooked

Example: if you happen to be playing a game in which Rod Brind'Amour is the coach, you probably include Martinook on the 4th line and scratch someone like Necas.
Dude wants a paycheck and probably a chance at a cup. You can swallow some hurt feelings for those, I think.
My dumb joke aside, don't forget we've also got Stepan in that PTO mix, so he could be on this list as well.

So to take full advantage of Pacioretty going on LTIR and perhaps Gardiner as well, it’d be best for them to officially be placed there before opening rosters are due and potentially sign CDH and Stepan to deals right before or after officially sending players to LTIR?
I get confused on the mechanics teams use to ensure they get the max LTIR relief they can.

Martinook will probably get hurt in the first playoff game going balls to the wall, try to grind it out in game 2, and then have to come out in the 2nd period leading the team short a forward. So a nice little rest period for Necas in the end
