I am surprised Ferland Dzingel and Gardiner are still around. I think Gardiner will go today and that will get the other bum UFA D to sign. But Ferland and Dzingel and Johansson might be in a mexican stand off.
Not really. But he’s a good D-D passer which is all you really wish for a bottom pairing guy paired with a puck mover like Byram for example. Plus he’s arguably the most feared hitter in the league. Having one of Zadorov/Mcquaid on the ice for about 50-60% of the game is terrifying for the other team. Plus you’ll always have them paired with somebody like Makar/Girard/Byram to dance with and move the puck.Is McQauid any good though?
I'm surprised that Ferland didn't sign in Columbus and Gardiner in Montreal (yet). Those are the 2 logical fits.I am surprised Ferland Dzingel and Gardiner are still around.

No where yet just seems like we won’t be getting himWhere did he go?
So if we are looking into expansion draft we will go 7/3/1
Mack
Landy
Rants
Kadri
Jost
JTC
Donoski
Girard
EJ* (if he waives the NMC we could protect Z or Timmins)
Makar
Could lose: Z or Timmins
Sakic said yesterday that it may even drag into September and it’s not the least bit concerning for him. He’s waiting on Mikko and said they have Aho and Meier as comparables.All's quiet on the Rantanen front?
Mikko hasn't sobered up after midsummer yet.All's quiet on the Rantanen front?
Probably will be all summer according to JoeAll's quiet on the Rantanen front?
If we can get Rants signed for under $10M, that would be lovely.
Don't need to protect Timmins, if he had played any he would have needed to be, but not now to the best of my knowledgeI don’t remember the nuances of the expansion rules, but would we have to protect Timmins? I didn’t think we would.
I’d also think/hope we have someone better to protect than Donskoi by the time the expansion draft rolls around.
