[Discipline Daddy]

We have few guys who are pretty decent there.

Peters' shootout lineup:

Slavin
Hanifin
Fleury

Let's not act like we wouldn't all trade 3 championships in 6 years for some cap issues down the road now. That silver jug they hand out at the end of the year ain't called the Salary Cup yknow.

Marcus "gamebreaker worth 2 2nds" Kruger for just a 5th?!?

Kruger was on line with Teravainen on Chicago, that's interesting. He was used with Nordstrom and Lindholm at the World this year.

 

[Roboturner913]

Not that our 4th line isn't currently good enough, but I'd surely love to see a Stalberg-Kruger-Nordstrom setup.

 

[HisIceness]

I can dig this. Good depth signing. He's pretty good at killing penalties too right?

So the next Blackhawk to find their way here is....?

Brandon Saad.

I'll ask again. What is it that Vegas is doing?

The only thing I don't get, is why he got Jooris if he knew he was gonna get Kruger? Also a little disappointed there won't be any room now for any young kids like Walmark or PDG. I love watching the kids play, too. Guess I'll have to get me some Checkers games next year.

If Walmark and PDG want a spot on the team over Kruger or Jooris, they can always earn it.

I believe in GMRF and Peters to put the best line-up on the ice.

Maybe RF can ship PDG to Vegas for Neal. Vegas has no interest in icing an NHL this year

I'd say being able to keep a core of Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Brett Seabrook, and Corey Crawford together for eight seasons, while cycling through All-Stars like Marian Hossa, Brandon Saad, Artemi Panerin, Niklas Hjarlmarsson, and trading us Scott Darling, Teuvo Teravainen, Bryan Bickell, Joakim Nordstrom, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Marcus Kruger is the very definition of cap brilliance.

 

[Roboturner913]

Still a spot for one rookie forward if we go with 7 d-men. The latter seems likely to me, considering that Dahlbeck is the 7th and he's relatively capable on either side.

And even if two rookie forwards win spots, it's not like buying out Jooris or PDG would be some great calamity.

No! don't want to trade PDG...I liked him since his college days. Don't want anymore old players, either. Love that JWilly's back, but we have enough vets now, for me anyway. They're old and wrinkly.

OVERPAYMENT

LOL HE'S NO MATT DUSHAIN

WHY DO WE HAVE 12 BOTTOM SIX FORWARDS

does that about cover it?

This is funny, because this is how half of the Hurricanes Facebook group is acting. Apparently Kruger is just an overpaid McClement.

People on Facebook are not the smartest bunch, and for sure many of them dont know to much about hockey.

They probably dont even know about bonus situation and real salary next season.

It's worked for a while but the Piper eventually comes calling. To keep their core they're now having to rid themselves of a lot of the depth and youth, so that when the decline does happen, there's no crutch and it all collapses. Don't get me wrong I would have loved to have had their 2010s, but much like Washington, their 2020s are going to be rough.

I'm just thankful we're the ones collecting their cap casualties. Helps us out without having to give anything away.
