What’s sick about that? Novak is a very serviceable bottom 6 C who has nothing to prove at Milwaukee anymore.

That being said, I’m in the camp of starting to move some of the vets and starting a rebuild.

I think this is "Sick" in a good way.

it would be not be sick to shoehorn him as a bottom 6 center when he is producing at a better rate than a few of our supposed top 6 guys who can also play center

I like that Poile is getting some guys signed anyway. There aren't going to be many/any openings on our opening night roster next season, I suspect, but Novak has clearly earned that contract.

Would be nice if he pulled off something to get one of the bigger names (Glass, Jeannot, Fabbro, Carrier, Lankinen) locked up early... I take these Smith/Novak deals at least as a sign that he's thinking about these things, even if it would be a little too good to be true to get the bigger names signed in advance also.

Some of those bigger names you listed won’t be on this roster next season.

Which ones? Lankinen is the obvious one, any others?

One of Carrier or Fabbro. No idea about Jeannot.

One of Carrier or Fabbro. No idea about Jeannot.

Even as a big fan of Fabbro, I agree with this. Can't pay a guy being used on the 3rd pairing, close to $3M a year.



The McDonagh trade will haunt us for a long time.

I think the McDonagh trade sealed the fate of Fabbro or Carrier as long term options for this team.

For sure but they won't be the only casualties.

Which is a shame because McDonagh is a win now move. I just dont think we are positioned to win now.
