I relish the sight of thatRisto and Jani Hakanpaa. Bunch of goons on defence cross-checking and slashing Matthews and Marner where it hurts most

Wouldn't be surprised if he never played a game for Seattle like Emelin (not saying that as a slight against him)
He had absolutely no shot to be Romanov's partner, barring injuries.he had a shot at the 5/6 slot.
ps -i'm terrified bergevin has at least 2, probably 3 d slots to fill and he's going to find more pylons
Happy he gets to suit up next to his brother. Will be a special moment for him and his family, something rare that few get to experience.
Yeah, Emelin got a 3rd, so I don't see Fleury getting more than a 5th or 6th as a trade chip.You could be right, but I'm not sure he has much trade value. Emelin was an established NHL D. I think he stays with Seattle and he helps build out their AHL depth and is a call-up option, and potential to become a bottom pairing D in a year or two.
Objectively speaking we lost more in the 2017 draft than 2021 because Emelin was at least an established NHLer and Fleury is at this point just a fringe player. Losing Fleury isnt too bad, not getting cap relief I'd argue is more significant because we would easily afford to lose Byron or Drouin.Yeah, Emelin got a 3rd, so I don't see Fleury getting more than a 5th or 6th as a trade chip.
Ummm…..ya, when you put it that way, I certainly don’t want to see that type of D manning our blue line.
I’m hoping for a D.Hamilton to replace Weber
Chiarot-Hamilton
Edmundson-Petry
Romanov-Kulak
with a playoff bound:
Romanov-Weber combo
Of course…..that’s why we need to go get him lolYeah but if you don't get Hamilton that's gonna look bad
Chiarot - Pylon
Edmunson - Petry
Romanov - Kulak
And Kulak is not a good defenseman
Of course…..that’s why we need to go get him lol
8.5m$ for 7yrs I’d guess……I’m giving it to him…..go for itAgreed, but we all know that needing a specific UFA is a recipe for disaster... Plus what kind of contract does Hamilton want anyway?
Yeah I feel the same way about Fleury as I do Emelin.
