Speculation: The Offseason: V (All Offseason Wishlist/Strategy Talk)

[Costigan77]

Murray from CBJ is the best COL can do. I don't think we can compete with that.

Why would Columbus do that?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Nothing more to do on Duchene really, unless Sakic comes down in price.

If we add Williams this team will be ridiculously deep as a 1-12 but just week in that middle 6, center position. Probably keep Brock there and ride Tito. If Beau comes through or maybe Barzal we can do well but I don't know if we contend.

They're not happy with Murray? I don't know, but it sounds like he's their fifth best d-man.

 

[SI90]

Why would Columbus do that?

If they want Duchene that bad. COL wants a young top4 defenseman. CBJ ain't giving up Jones or Werenski

Out of those 3 listed I would expect he would choose Tampa. Why would he go to Philly who is still rebuilding and not a sure thing when he can go to Tampa and likely make the playoffs and also have the state tax issue

Honestly I don't really see the point in adding Williams after adding Eberle.

Right now we have 3 right wings if you count Ho Sang. Having 4 who actually fit their position would be nice(and not converting left wingers to right wingers)

He'd be a good fit there, I can't see Philly either.

Either do I. Staple suggesting barzal or Beau or both would then not make the roster.

Seems like such a waste to have all this movement and then ride Brock at C. That's a receipe for failure in my book. Brock's not good enough to play important minutes at C.

Would love to a fly on the wall in Garths office. Just to look positionally:

Left--> Lee-Bailey-Ladd-Kulemin
Right--> Eberle-Williams-Ho-Sang-Clutterbuck
Center--> Tavares-Nelson-Beauviller-Cizikas

Just realized no spot for Chimera who potted 20 last season. Damn. I don't really know what's going to happen.

A bit surprised that Isles didn't buy out Kulemin. Would have given them some more flexibility for any other moves but I guess that should tell us something.

Buying out a guy with 1 year left doesn't make much sense to me. Suck it up for the year or pay a draft pick to unload him someplace.

Chimera is better than Kulemin, for sure.
