[Lost Horizons]

Chris Kelly going back.

He's a free agent.

Dom,

Are are looking at the cap dump for a dman or forward from ottawa, I don't need names, but you have me seriously curious

Ps love what the bruins did today! I think Spooner as the winger on Bergys line would be amazing!

Spooner on Bergy's wing??

I hate it.

 

[BallroomBitz]

Spooner on Bergy's wing??

I hate it.

Why? They look good together on the PP.

PP we have more players on the ice..they should look better

 

[Dizzay]

I think Spooner fits there.....bette than Vatrano

 

[BruinDust]

Spooner on Bergy's wing??

I hate it.

Me too.

Put Vatrano there.

Spooner on the left with Krejci or Backes.

 

[Drift]

Would help Spooner defensively .

I see Spooner getting killed on the boards though. Might work though since Begeron and Marchand are great at puck retrieval.

Sweeney has not made any major mistakes so I call this a good free agent day. A defenseman would be nice but if the right deal is not available then it is better to do nothing than to make a mistake.

 

[Dizzay]

Bergy and Marshy capable of 30+ goals each......put a playmaker with them and who's saying they can't get 40?

The day is not over yet, and there are a couple of hue mistakes waiting to be made out there on the FA market. So I am scared.

Thanks, I feel worse now.

any word on Vesey, haven't seen anything. I figured when Buffalo didn't lock him up before today that meant he was coming here.

 

[3B]

What about keeping Spooner on 3rd line wing but Backes doing the work along the boards/corners?

 

[Dr Quincy]

Prospects and 1st & 2nd year professionals are exempt, except those who are exposed. A rule for this expansion draft is 1 goalie must be exposed. Hence, Khudobin.

I know, but whether in the NHL or AHL, whether Khudobin is here or not, Subban will be finishing his FOURTH professional season.

The AHL is a professional league.

 

[SPV]

Doesn't Backes play right wing too?? He would seem like a natural fit with Marchand & Bergeron. I like those top two lines a lot

Marchand-Bergeron-Backes
Beleskey-Krejci-Pastranak

Vessey does not become unrestricted FA until Aug 15 so Buffalo has time to negotiate with him.

word is he can't sign anywhere but buffalo untl aug. 15th. thats why i wish we had traded for his rights. stuck waiting.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Board presence. It's what that line needs.

Spooner is the antithesis of that.

Backes playing a lot on that wing is what I'm hoping for.

Marchand-Bergeron-Backes
Beleskey-Krejci-Pastranak

That is a very good top-6.

 

[goalieman40]

is Ottawa going to dump Mike Hoffman rather than pay him?
