Not much of significance to anyone who watched his recent pressers.

Would like to add a forward or two, particularly a right shot.

Would like to add a dman or two. Wants to let the young guys develop in their respective leagues.

Open to cap dump trades.

Yeah nothing you don't already know, probably.

Expect them to sign a goalie in FA. Other signings will be safe moves.

A little speculation about Turris but nothing out of Stevie's mouth about it.

Hmm.
- Bobby Ryan?
- Kyle Turris?
- Tyler Toffoli?
- Craig Smith?

Turris the only center to fit to our plans, think he is the guy to go after.

I'd like to mix our lines a bit and try him with Mantha

Like:

Fabbri - Larkin - Bertuzzi
Zadina - Turris - Mantha

Just something totally new.

Would like to add a dman or two. Wants to let the young guys develop in their respective leagues.

It's a great defenceman market...

- RD Alex Pietrangelo
- RD Justin Schultz
- RD Tyson Barrie
- RD Sami Vatanen
- RD Cody Ceci
- RD Chris Tanev
- RD Travis Hamonic
- RD Radgo Gudas
- RD Kevin Shattenkirk

- LD Torey Krug
- LD TJ Brodie
- LD Andy Greene
- LD Jack Johnson
- LD Dmitry Kulikov
- LD Zdeno Chara

Open to cap dump trades.

Fine with that.

I wouldn't mind signing Turris to a 1 or 2 year deal if he's willing and Troy Stetcher could be a potential good pickup as well. I wish Stetcher was a LD, I would say sign him for a few years pretty cheap if you could, I like his game he plays a gritty type of game for a smaller D.
