Alright, this thread is open for business.

 

[Yung Rotini]

So.. next year do we roll Brodano or Hamdano?

The options! Hamdano opens up Brodeman as a possibility.

I hope Brodano stays together. I think Hamilton/Russell would make a great odd couple pairing with the 7 inch height difference.

But that would leave two right shots on the third pairing. Unless Smid is healthy and replaces Engelland, I guess.

I'm hoping they trade Wideman (or Engelland; could you imagine them getting an actual return for him?). I think TSpoon will be ready for 3rd pairing duty this season.

 

[Calculon]

I like

Giordano-Brodie
Russell-Hamilton
Schlemko/Wotherspoon-Engelland
Smid/Nakladal

Trade Wideman

 

[KrazyCanuck19]

I'm hearing in Vancouver media that Hamilton was traded because he wanted 6.5-7 million a year. If that's true good luck.

Then you're being lied to or the media you're listening to is woefully uninformed, as the initial ask from Hamilton's camp is $5.5 million.

to be fair, they're all rumors

#27 would be my guess. No ones wearing if I recall.

If that's the case then why trade him?

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Wideman seems to be redundant now.

I wouldn't mind packaging Byron and Wideman for a hard nosed 2nd/3rd tweener.

Anyways, so happy to have Hamilton, may have to get a new jersey because of this!

Rumours I've heard suggest that BOS offered him a significant contract (probably in that range) and he didn't sign it so they wanted to ship him for picks this year and not next year.

Wideman alone should be able to get a 2nd/3rd line tweener. I think he's a pretty highly rated 2nd pairing defenseman.

Hamdano?

More like Broham. We must base the pairings on best nickname.

Also, Widemano.

Well it's at least one more source than zero sources.

 

[Sean Monahan]

him and Wideman both have some weird necks... might as well pair them together

Imagine that. A redundant 56 point defenseman.

I guess our D is stacked.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Or we just keep Wideman and have one of the deepest defensive corps in the league.

I agree. My comment was facetious.

Broham doesn't work. It's Hamdie or Bromilton.

I really like Broham personally. But if I have too pick a plan B, i'll pick plan Bromilton.
