If Sam can manage another multi-point game, we will have 3 players at >= 1ppg after 35 games. Wonder when the last time that happened.
As of now we are tied with 2006/07 with 2 ppg player.
Back then it was Briere (95) and Vanek (84).
Just forget the sour taste of that off season.

With Berglund gone and Poms looking like he'll be out a while, they may get the look at the Rochester forwards sooner rather than later. Sorry Amerks... it isn't just the blueline that's going to get trucked.

Will fix everything
I'm thinking we might see a trade before the freeze here.

If we are truly getting out of the Berglund contract free and clear,

.....Ansimov just got activated off IR. :scared:

Eh, given his last two interviews, Botterill talked up internal reinforcements. It wouldn't surprise to see them bring up a player or two from the farm, though that doesn't actually fix the hole in the lineup that is Sobotka/Mittelstadt as the middle 6 pivots.

Berglund's cap space disappearing into the ether is a game-changer.

Pretty much any player with a contract in the 4-6M range that is up before Dahlin is a RFA is now on the table.

Could we reasonably trade for Foligno? He would be perfect for Larsson/Girgs and fills the role of guy who can fight when the time is needed.

I think we should rely on Girgensons-Larsson-Rodrigues, wait for Wilson as another 4th line option, and start looking for a middle six C. The other upgrades are/will be Smith, Nylander, and Olofsson.

I wonder what Marcus Johansson from New Jersey would cost. Final year of his deal and Jersey is a bottom feeder. He could add a nice bit of scoring, speed, and adds to the “Swede Quota”.

Then they could possibly even try to re-sign him on a short term deal, 1-2 years.

I'm assuming for now, CJ Smith should be coming on down. I'm excited to see him up here though, so hoping it happens.
