2013 - 2014 Season Roster Part 3

[Vinny Boombatz]

Mathieu Perreault could now be available as a result, however. Maybe even Marcus Johansson.

No on Perreault, but Yes, Yes Please on Johansson.

Maloney is the type to have over analyzed every option a half dozen times rather than simply overlook something. For all we know, they have dirt on Heatley from the coaching ranks. Or Prospal doesn't want to get off his ass and is enjoying retirement. Or, if you believe a certain obnoxious blogger, they are in the running for Grabovski.

A "trade for Vanek plz!" tweet won't do much good.

A lot of "I'd be more comfortable spending money on season tickets if the roster had another scoring forward like Maloney wants" tweets might sway someone.

I'm honestly more worried about the total lack of marketing than anything else at this point.

Marcus Johansson would be an excellent addition to this team.

I really hope this ownership group doesn't take to making decisions based on how loudly people beg for it on Twitter.

that's something worthy of tweeting to them.

 

[RABBIT]

Holy **** I tweeted it but I didn't expect you guys to take it so seriously

who is ' you guys'... us morons on this site, or the ownership guys... thought maybe they just traded for a natural scorer..lol

Looks like we can cross Grabovski off our list - he's rumored to sign with the Caps today. Trade for a top 6 forward or bust now, haha.

EDIT: Murray was also signed by the Habs, so that likely removes one potential trade partner for Klesla.

Theres still a couple guys out there. Brunner to be exact. He'll score in bunches and help win some games. He got better defensively as the year went along and he simply either got bad advice from his agent or overplayed his hand with the Wings. He does score though and can play good top six minutes.

Even if we move Klesla for a pick, the most we can spend on a forward is 2.5 million. And that's if Boedker agrees to a heavily backloaded deal. I really, really doubt we can afford Brunner.

 

[Kaibur]

Maybe there's a team that will try to slip someone through waivers at the start of the year. If we're trying out Brule, Miele, Yip, Brown and McMillan for two spots and there's a better player in waivers, they'll just pick them up.

Are there any teams with too many forwards to start the year?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Guys is Gromley gonna play on the Yotes this year?

We have too much of a log-jam on D right now, because we have 9 defensemen on 1-way contracts. Of those 9 defensemen OEL, Yandle, Klesla, Schlemko and Summers all shoot left, which pushes Gormley down the depth chart. Even if we trade 1 of our defensemen this year, it's likely Gormley will only see NHL action in the event that we have multiple injuries on the blue-line simultaneously.

Im going to respectfully disagree. I think Gormley will start in the A, but will earn a call up during the season due to his play, during which I think he will show he deserves a spot on the team and force a trade to make room. He knows this is a really important season to make the team as a regular.

Possibly another monkey wrench with resigning Boedker: Adam Henrique resigns with the Devils for 6 years, 4M AAV.

 

[ck26]

I started to say "but Adam Henrique is better than Mikkel Boedker"

Then I looked at the facts and stats again, and there's little evidence to support that.

Guaranteeing $24m to a guy who has 32 NHL goals???

Dey call it "Potential". If Henrique doesn't improve as expected it's going to be a dreadful contract.

 

[bert]

Where do you guys see Boedker fitting in? Will he play with Ribiero? Will he play first pp? I am a big fan, and too be honest have him in two keeper leagues and im debating on whether to protect him or not.

 

[Karlkarotte]

if boedker has a 4 mil average i hope its over at least 6 years. I love bods, and my ideal contract would be 3 mil over six years but as long as he sings by next week im haopz

im a little drunk but i have a good hockey backround and mostly know what im talking about.

Why would Mikkel Boedker singing make you haopz?

I want no part of 6 years for Boedker at that price -- I don't have $24m worth of faith in his development.

Offer sheet compensation right now is $3,364,392+ for a 1st and a 3rd. I would be surprised if anyone offered $3.4m, but I'd take the picks immediately and use the cash elsewhere in the market.

I bet Dave Fester would be the 1st to try to offer Boedker a sheet as he did with ROR.

Win a cup and still get the 1st overall pick. Now that's what I call

By "Dave Fester" you mean Jay Feaster, right?

Considering Feaster has a history about getting it wrong, it would only make sense to get his name wrong as well.

There is no way in hell I'd take a 1st and a 3rd for Boedker.

 

[Karlkarotte]

michael is worth more than a 1st and a 3rd. hes never played with a legit 1st line center. I heard verrry good things about him in finland during the lockout. he will be very good this year. im calling a 50 point season
