My prediction is that Shero goes hard after/gets a decent FA and too many on this board have a meltdown that we overpaid/ gave too many years.

:laugh:

I'll make a related prediction... no matter what Shero does or doesn't do, half this board will self destruct into a pit of misery and depression while the other half will rationally think about things and assess the situation like a sane person.

Damnit, you took the better more obvious prediction.

I think we'll sign Nyquist to round out the top 6. He'd let Bratt move over to his natural side.

Hall - Hischier - Palmieri
Bratt - Hughes - Nyquist

Looks good to me.

@Csonked Out : "I dont know that he is better. Bratt was a good find but to be effective he needs to be scoring. "


>>>
I strongly disagree with that. 'Cause that would mean that the only skill needed in this league is basically to be a scorer like Palms(for example).

And using that argument is selling Bratt extremely short here.


And whomever it was that said 4.5 is too much for Bratt ( @optimist34 ?), excuse me but why are we concerning ourselves with Money when there is still plenty to go around AND we have Owners that wipe their butts with ben franklins?

The first bad game Subban has is going to be fun.

Oh it's going to be a blast. I don't even think it'll have to be a regular season game. If he makes a blind pass or gets burnt outside people will say that's why he was available, his skating is shot, etc. Its going to be fantastic.

Why does Bratt need to move onto his natural side? He has been good on the right side. And personally I'd like to see Hughes pair with Palmeri to start and have Bratt on the top line.

Nyquist seems like a realistic option that makes perfect sense. So when he inevitably signs elsewhere we are all in for a treat of the usual posts about Shero not doing his job and the owners not wanting to pay anyone.

I don’t think we sign any major free agents. Have we even been reported to have met with anyone?
Tanguay on NHL Network said we met with Lee and Zuccarello.

That's the only "news" that's leaked about us from what I know other than the quick tid-bit about us talking with Cam Talbot but he seems to be Calgary bound

Ray got me PK Subban, literally my favorite non-Devil for the last eight years. I'm cool with whatever at this point lol
