Salary Cap: Faux News: Fehr and Balanced Off-Season Pens coverage

[Penguinator]

Perron?

Gordie = Penzweiser!

 

[WayneSid9987]

Kunitz-Crosby-Kessel
Plotnikov-Malkin-Hornqvist
Dupuis-Staal-Fehr
Cullen-Sundqvist-Bennett

And theres the rub.

Perron?

He traded him in the proposed Staal deal.

 

[penzweiser]

Gordie = Penzweiser!

Nope, I just like speculating and seeing what things would likely look like if we did trade for Staal. I don't think we'll do it and I'm not sure it's what would be the best for the team. I also wouldn't be surprised if the idea of bringing Staal back was to play LW.

I do like the idea of adding one more skilled big guy to the lineup with Sundqvist and Fehr, especially with Fehr being out for a while. I really wanted Chris Stewart for that reason.

Also I think Kunitz plays really well this year and I think that second power play unit will really vendor from having likely him and Bonino in it.

Kunitz-Bonino-Perron
Cole-Pouliot

I think that has a chance to be a lethal unit versing the other teams second PK unit.

If they spend 5 millions on Perron,they deserve to lose.

If there's one thing I hate, its good hockey players.

They're the worst with their doing things well and helping the team.


I hope they can lock Perron up around $4.5M... and then get Boedker around the same; get Maatta for something reasonable. Then party like it's 2009.

Maybe they should spend that on Killorn instead right?

 

[AgentM]

Bonino scored some pretty goals back in his last year with the Ducks.

 

[mpp9]

Yeah the common theme with him among Nucks and Ducks fans is that he can really take advantage of lesser matchups. If they roll 4 lines and 2 PP units, I don't see any reason why he can't get around 40 pts.

That's good to hear. Man I haven't been this excited for a hockey season since 1992

and our 3rd line wings probably aren't far off from his 2nd line wings in Vancouver

At least Killorn produces in the playoffs.Perron has 2 goals in 24 playoff games IIRC.

 

[Mike Lange Version 2]

I just can't wait for the season, period. Honestly we're fine without Staal, we have plenty of depth. Play the youth on D unless someone great (Hamhuis, Edler, Gio) could be had for super cheap, or we move Scuds and Ehrhoff will play for a low amount (3 or less).

Part of me wants to see JR keep making moves. The guy's on fire.

Yeah, it's time to get Despres + 1st for Lovejoy.

For global marketability, Morehouse old buddy old pal, Boedker would be great. They'd have players from Canada (Quebecois and Anglos and a trick for Steigy), America, Sweden, Finland, Russia and Denmark. That almost makes up for the loss of Brunei!

There's also something to be said for quitting while you're ahead, a la not stopping at Bortuzzo for Cole.

I am pumped for the season to start! Our forward group is just awesome. Just a lot of good hockey players. We may not have exceptional size or speed, but we're fairly balanced. I don't think adding another bigger hockey player that hits would hurt. It would be exceptional of that player was a top 4D man.

I just am so pumped about power plays, the first unit should be exceptional and the second unit should pose a real threat:

Hornqvist
Crosby Kessel
Letang Malkin

and

Kunitz
Bonino Perron
Cole Pouliot
