We need Top 6 guy not another 4th liner. Where on earth would he fit? and what happens to the guy he displaces. He's a rental. Better not be much to get him.

I'm not even mad at Stalberg for a 3rd, that's not a big deal.

Why are we going after pure bottom 6 guys, we have guys who'd be better than them if they were knocked down the lineup by brining in a top 6 guy.

Yawn

Better get their **** together just to lock up the playoffs 1.4 goals per game last 5 games and they are targeting bottom 6 forwards. Like everyone has said we need to bump guys down the line up for some real depth.

I'm not a fan of the moves so far. This team is not built to contend this season. Stalberg and Burrows are okay players, but they don't push our team into contending status.

We only have 3 picks in the upcoming draft: 1st, 4th, and 6th, and we already traded our 2018 2nd rounder in the Brassard deal.

I think we are trading some roster pieces of our own for something bigger

It's possible, but prior to the trade deadline moves we didn't even have 12 healthy forwards that Boucher trusted and wanted to play.

Hoffman-Turris-Dzingel
Smith-Brassard-Stone
Pyatt-Pageau-
Kelly-Wingels

With Ryan injured, that is pretty much where we were at with forwards who Boucher would actually give minutes to. Neil and Lazar get dressed but barely play. Despite the fact that Ryan doesn't get played like a star, he still gets 15 minutes a night so he'd give us another one. So with Burrows+Stalberg, we're presumably at 13 forwards Boucher actually is okay with using when we're healthy.

So it isn't like it's fishy that we acquired 2 players and one maybe player on a 2 way contract. It doesn't come off like we're stocking up extra bodies at all. Just that we didn't have enough bodies prior to the deadline.

We have like 16 forwards now? We must be moving Lazar + maybe someone else.

Stalberg is alright and everything, but why aren't they adding a bottom pairing D? Are we confident in Kostka and Claesson if s*** hits the fan?

Bye Lazar.

We will always remember you for your smiles and that one time you took a cheeseburger off the ice and ate it.

Would love to add a depth RHD, we're so weak on that side if someone goes down.
