Yup, tank and make sure you get a top 3 pick . That should be the #1 goal.. anything else we are simply wasting timeWow, I see an awful lot of trying to make us a contender NEXT YEAR. Much of this is too fast for me.

Basically the surgery is one that no active player has had and has come back from. The doctors think he could get by with physical therapy to rehab. Eichel and his doctor want the surgery.
It wouldn't be the first time a player has had a surgery that was once seen as career ending only to come back and be fine.
just to clarify, are you saying guys have had it and it was a failure or no one has ever had it in the nhl?Basically the surgery is one that no active player has had and has come back from. The doctors think he could get by with physical therapy to rehab. Eichel and his doctor want the surgery.

While I agree that is value is lower than if he had just come off a 30-40 goal pace I worry he may not improve his value much with CBJ's lack of playmakers and god awful power play. I'd trade him for the right (or even good) return.
So much depends on the next few months... can you get a playmaker to pair with Laine? Will the new coach have a vision for his usage? I would try to set him up for success this year before looking to move him.

Yeah , but our bad luck is destined to change , and with the formula tweaked this year , it pretty much fell in line with how teams finished . Buffalo , for example gets the #1 pick. We do this right , get a top 3 next yr , with the picks / prospects from Jones , Laine , Werenski , plus the 3 firsts this year , you could turn it around really quick , especially with Marchenko , Voronkov, and Chinakov added to the mixDetroit says hello
IMHO we could take him. His value is slow but he`s enough talented we can`t lose anything.Nolan Patrick has requested a trade
If Buffalo is trading Eichel because of his neck issues isn't that a big red flag? I get they are pissed off at each other but yikes. Hopefully it lowers whatever the cost to acquire him is if CBJ are in the mix.
I see you are new here. Unless we get one via trade it ain't gonna happen. Maybe Tex or Roslovic suddenly become playmakers extraordinaire but I doubt it.
You sure know how to pick emThat’s what I mean. Via trade or FA. The answer is not currently in-house. If the front office does nothing at center this off-season, it will be very disappointing.

He doesn't need a playmaker. It's a myth. But coaches want to use his shot that's why they try to move him to Patrik. Laine himself knows to feed partners excelent. IMHO it would be better if nobody looks for partner for him to show his all qualities.While I agree that is value is lower than if he had just come off a 30-40 goal pace I worry he may not improve his value much with CBJ's lack of playmakers and god awful power play.

Many here are slotting Bemstrom onto the 2nd line and even the top line based on the player you want him to be.that player isn’t who he currently is or has shown. I’m hopeful he grows into a reliable NHL player, but to me he’s still a guy who’s still a question mark,
Here’s my first prediction for the coming year. Assuming he signs, Gregory Hofman will outperform Bemstrom, Foudy, Tex and Chinakov this season.
First the most urgent need: Coaching
- Hire Gallant as headcoach
- Hire Jukka Jalonen as 2nd
I expect this duo would get the most out of the players. Gallant is probably well-known here and need no explanations. Jalonen has a history of success with Finnish national team and also on other surfaces. He always gets the best out of an underdog and the teams usually play much better than its parts.
Second: Centers
- Throw 8M x 5yrs at UFA Krejci and see if it sticks
- Offer Granlund 4M x 3yrs
Both are playmakers that this team lacks. Granlund has actually played 2C this year in Nashville.
Third: Stay-at-home D
- Offer Jani Hakanpää 2M x 3Yrs
Fourth:
- Offer Laine 7,5M x 2yrs or trade him for other pieces.
Fifth:
- get contract extensions done with Werenski & Jones. If that is not likely to happen - trade atleast one for C-help
