Around the NHL, Part 5 -- Offseason

[Team Cozens]

Two Stanley Cups and drafted Dahlin. Solid hire.

Wonder who Botts recommends Seattle takes from the Sabres in the expansion draft.

He will recommend they take our RHD. Can never have too many of those.

 

[HaNotsri]

Jokes, scorn, etc aside, AGM is probably a good role for him. He has historically done well in similar positions.

He does great as long as you limit his influence and don't give him any real power.

I’m still going with Melnyk made Stutzle fly economy so he has to quarantine.

Seattle signed his own death warrant

nah, JB is a good hockey mind but better off as an AGM. He’s got great ideas and made some good move. He just needs someone to tell him “let’s table that for later” when he gets into crazy mode

You and I have different opinions about Botterill.

I think he’s a good assistant but shouldn’t be making decisions for an organization

I do not know how he can be a good helper or advisor if he made so many terrible decisions in Buffalo.

because no one was there to overrule him.

That is, if he gives GM a lot of stupid advice in Seattle, will that make him a good employee?

Montour

Montour

Montour will be dealt before then, in my opinion. He signed a one year deal for a reason.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

I see Colin Miller being Seattle's selection IMO.

I thought he signed his tender? Botts invested a lot into him and I would imagine he still values him over Miller

I'm saying I think Montour will be traded before the opportunity to select him. He's up to be a UFA this offseason.

I feel like they might trade his rights for them to take Tokarski. Something along those lines. Looking at the goalies available to draft, it is baaaddd. They will have to work out a trade or take Holtby and two garbo's. Tokarski could be the pick with bait attached.

I’m pretty sure they can’t select pending free agents in the expansion draft. But they can talk with them before other teams can.

They can, they're given a week advance contact period, if signed the UFA counts as their pick
