The last one was over 1000 so the mods create an EIGTH fantasy GM threadNew thread!!!
I get to be first to come up with Loui Erickson rides the bus and retires comment wooooooo
We will need a new GM here, and a complete moron GM on another team for Myers to get moved. Maybe Chia and Jethro/Jethrine hook up again to destroy a new team?I know Hextall is the GM, but with Burke’s comments on getting players that wear long pants, is there any chance they would be interested in Myers?
Marino just signed a new deal but seems to be struggling.
Pettersson’s on injured reserves but has a long term deal there as well.
Clearly would add to Myers but wondering with the new management team in place of Myers still has enough cache to make a deal work.
I LIKE THIS IDEA. Let's trade the few good players on this team so we can continue to suck for another 10 years.Everyone but EP, Hughes and Demko should be listening on a possible deal.
Would take a lot to trade Horvat, Boeser and Hoglander but possible.
Miller can go if a great offer comes in.
Schmidt too but harder since he can play either side and need dmen.
Rest of the current roster I would have no problem getting rid of.
Dadanov and a 3rd for Virtanen and ChattyWe should probably sign a Russian player so the transition is easier for Podkolzin next year.
Gusev, Anisimov, Grigorenko and Lyubushkin are interesting UFA targets. Dadonov might be cheap to acquire from Ott. Something along these lines.

God I hope we can get Luke Hughes or one of those top rated dmen out of this shitty year
don't get used to it,,its laughable.havent you heard???
we are a winning team again !!!!!
You said it best, they need to get two Top4 RHD, a defensive center, and more cheap wingers to push down scoring role players like Pearson.What do people think are our top or or two realistic needs for our core right now to put us in position to be serious contender? And by realistic I mean we're likely not going to find a McDavid or Hedman to jump on this team to be part of our core.
Leading up to our 2011 run we had an off-season where we picked up Hamhuis and Malholtra to stabilize our top 4 D and our 3C/faceoff positions.
Honestly, I feel like that's what this current core needs now as well. Once Sutter leaves we need a defensive 3C and we need a top 4 D to partner with Hughes to stabilize defensively. One could argue we also need another bonafide top 6 winger, but Hoglander really goes a long way in that regard and Podkolzin is in waiting the wings. It may be best not to expect consistent top 6 production from either but I think what we need more is a solid 3C that is defensively sound and makes his wingers better. That way Green can have the confidence to play him with the younger guys and gives us a more balanced top 9. Zero-assist Sutter is not the solution and unfortunately Gaudette doesn't seem to be either at C.
It would save the Wings a couple of million in real cash but they'd save even more buying out Dekeyser. I'd say it would take at least a 3rd coming from Vancouver.Dekeyser on waivers. Wonder if Detroit would be interested in Ericsson for Dekeyser.
Similar term but would save the Nucks $1M.
Dekeyser is a LD but with Edler a UFA, would insulate a little for someone to play 2nd line LD minutes next year.
