Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread: "JJ" - Jokinen signed. Any further moves?

[Ol' Jase]

Anyone have any interest in Simon Depres?

 

[PaPaDee]

What are we at for contracts now?

I'd still love to get a 3rd line center with some strong faceoff skills.

Isn't he pretty much done due to concussions?

 

[LTIR]

RNH wont be traded away until some of the questions are answered.

Can Strome play C ?
Can another RWer click with McDavid freeing up Draisaitl?
Can RNH start producing with Eberle gone?

It would be premature and simple needless to trade RNH this off-season unless the return is great.

3rd line C: RNH, strong faceoffs skills: Jokinen.

Yeah, you're right. I thought he was better off than he actually seems to be.

I agree, I likely wouldn't trade him either, especially considering his value is probably low. Maybe try letting him ride shot gun with McDavid for awhile to see if he can get some of his confidence back.

I'd hate Polak on this team, if only because he'd always make me think of that "Fat, balding Taylor Hall with a beard" meme and I would never be able to take him seriously.

Isn't that Radko Gudas?

 

[PaPaDee]

3rd line C RNH, strong faceoffs skills Jokinen.

Jokinen-RNH-xxxx

I'd rather try to get Nuge's offensive game going, and rely on him less on the PK/D-zone. Especially if we're going to try to dump him after this season, he needs to put up some offensive production.

Maroon - McDavid - Drai/Nuge
Lucic - Drai/Nuge - Strome
Jokinen - XXXX - Kassian
Caggiula - Letestu - Sleppy

47 once Draisaitl, LaLeggia, and Simpson get new contracts. Wells and Benson won't count once they get sent back to juniors, so 45.

Dang you're right.

I can't do anything right today.

Stauffer seemed to linger a little bit on the "acquire a veteran player OR TWO" portion of Chiarelli's quote.

 

[Soundwave]

Maroon McDavid Nuge
Lucic Draisaitl Strome
Caggiula Jokinen Puljujarvi
Slepy Letestu Kassian

Would be worth a look I think.

 

[Cloned]

Dang you're right.

Blonde moments and (Jim) Benning days.

 

[backhandsauce]

Still hoping for my boy Vladdy Hockey

He's attending the Rangers training camp.

It's too bad, I'd love to see him back in the fold. He could dangle as well as Andy Sutton

Was this today?

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Was this today?

yup!

I still think a cheap, right shot winger might be in the cards. Stafford, Gionta, Purcell... Someone that can play a safe game, has a bit of finish and can play 14-17 minutes a night. These guys might be camp invites like Versteeg last season though. Although I think he's not ready, they're going to give JP an opportunity to earn his spot.

I am 100% down for a Franson signing though. With him on board we look half decent even without Sekera.

Klefbom - Larsson
Russell - Franson
Nurse - Benning
Gryba

Please Jagr please please please

I will speak this into existence

Please please please

 

[oilers89]

yup!

Ahhhh i def could see it. Theres ni reason to have any holes open going into the season if we can sign anither 1 year deal. If it does t work out you dump the player. If it works you dont have to worry about upgrading and overpaying at deadline

Jarome?

 

[ResilientBeast]

Maroon - McDavid - Strome

Jokinen - RNH - Pulujarvi/Slepy
Cagguila - Letestu - Kassian

Jagr please come here

I guess Jarome could work as well

 

[Cloned]

Please Jagr please please please

lol.

My guess is Gionta or Stafford, like belair posted above.

I'm also going to say one of Polak or Franson. Polak more likely because of probably cap hit.
