RABBIT
wasn’t gonna be a fan but Utalked me into it
I don’t know how I feel about abandoning a rebuild when we’re half way through, so hopefully not a huge summer when it comes to big name acquisitions.

4 Dmen on the NHL roster, three under 25. A Myers, one of the 2 you mention and maybe another offensive minded Dman in a situation like Ghost was would be ideal….like a Girard.Middling UFAs like Connor Clifton and Carson Soucy would be nice. Overpriced but not totally negative value players like Tyler Myers would be nice.
We should NOT trade assets for roster players. Buuuuut if we can upgrade without costing any assets beyond 2-3 year contract commits, that’s what we should be doing.
We’ll keep Keller if we do.
Bill wants a decent culture in place as the blue chips trickle in. It’s smart and I agree with it.
I like Graves and Soucy. Maybe bring Bjugstad back if he doesn't get a deal somewhere. Compher if the price is right.
I think BA might go hard after Barbashev.
Announce a Tourigny extension please. Another upward season and then he gets scooped up by a wealthier team and I might just write off hockey forever.
"I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that Logan Cooley signs with this team for next season."
Hey Frank, you might want to check the news.
Reinhart, I don't think so. But are they preparing us for something bigger? Shane infiltrating Toronto. And yes somebody has to say it, and there isn't anybody out there that's willing to start baseless rumors as much as me. But I'm gonna wait and see if something big happens at the draft before I go on a Matthews as a cap dump to AZ rampage.Maybe @Schemp can get his boy Reinhart
Couldn't he still change his mind? College players don't sign contracts.
Yes, he can sign anytime. He intends to play for the GoGo Golphers and we've already picked up that he was disappointed that Tempe killed TED and wants to play in the Valley of the Sun. He probably is just waiting to see how this works out before signing a contract.Couldn't he still change his mind? College players don't sign contracts.
...that didn't come across to me as "we're abandoning the rebuild", more like "we're not going to be so blatantly trying to finish last now"...put another way..........I don’t know how I feel about abandoning a rebuild when we’re half way through, so hopefully not a huge summer when it comes to big name acquisitions.
^that's what I thought, too. Like the Fed pausing rate hikes - "we're not done, and we can always restart, but we're gonna slow down on these moves that we know make us look worse"Stop tanking. Keep rebuilding. I like it.

Don't like this, we're not ready. We'll be ready once the players we've actually picked start playing and become good (for instance like what is happening in NJ and BUF right now)
