Galchenyuk seems like a poor mans Hoffman. Id take a flyer depending on who is moved but as of right now there is no room on our roster for him.

Not a chance in hell. Even if they aren’t true, that’s 2 different locker rooms that have vocally wanted him gone.
I'm not saying he's someone we should definitely add, but i don't see him being any type of locker room cancer either. He's not really "youth" anymore either. I'd have no issue taking a flyer on him. Tatar makes the most sense, forward wise IMO.
Not seeing anyone who they necessarily "want" him. More of, wouldn't mind taking a chance on him. There's a difference there. I wouldn't have any issue with this team adding someone who's more of a scorer. We had arguably the worst Powerplay in NHL history last season. Nothing should be off the table.

I want Tatar on a short term deal, overpay on AAV if it’s a year or two, who cares

Purely for the PP, yes. He is going to cost peanuts, has got a lethal shot and we can’t score. For one year I take him.

I mean I won’t complain if we do sign him cheap, but I’d certainly hope we aim higher

I'd like Gudbranson. That would help out our PK and lines better.
Lindholm-Manson
Fowler-Guds
Drysdale-Shattenkirk
Larsson
Fowler-Guds
Drysdale-Shattenkirk
Larsson
But I don't think that's happening because Drysdale would be on his offside and we have a plethora of prospect LHD to figure out in Larsson, Guhle, Benoit, and Curran.
So Hoffman signs with Montreal, 3 years @ 4.5 million. Pretty fair deal. I feel this team is just not ready yet to go after free agents even if they are fairly cheaper or affordable . Bob missed his chance when he let RFAs like Buchnevich and Reinhart fall under the radar. Both were cheap, and they are young and fit the Ducks time-line. Hoffman, not so much.

I wouldn't want Tatar or any of the others out there. They're not going to be enough to win us a cup. And, they're not going to be in their prime to help when our young team is ready to challenge for a cup.
All they can do now is take up spots where our younger players can develop and add just enough fire power to hurt our draft position for next year. Do we need more Henriques or Silfverbergs?

Just purely speculating but I feel like our lack of action is tied to Eichel, if we get him we will probably add some bargain type UFAs, if we dont I think we're just committing to being bad, and hopefully moving out Rakell/Manson types during the season
We don’t need any guys who are booger sugar addicts. I don’t want that shit rubbing off on zegras and drysdale

I actually think Eakins might be a huge barrier to signing any scorers on a 1 year deal type thing — even if it’s an overpayment (we have space). The risk is that, because his systems are THAT bad, the player has deflated stats on the year. The result would be a much lower next contract. That combined with barstool not wanting to give a longer term contract to any FAs puts us at a standstill. #1moreyear !

Pretty sure it was mentioned multiple times before, that Eakins overthinks things way too often and kind of loses his ideal of a play style due to lack of (or simply horrible) communication with the players, who seem to tune him out quickly. As mentioned previously, Eakins' first season here was his most successful as a coach in the NHL. Let that sink in.
First time I read this personally. To me it seemed that the systems were there but we lacked players who could execute. We were always in games but always came up short in the end because we didn't had talent.

What's been mentioned multiple times is that communication is Eakins's strong point. Also IMO last season was much improved over the previous ones in terms of the team consistently executing a plan/not quitting on a game. Just a very untalented team with some mistake-prone players playing key roles.
