Jets exposed demelo? I wanted him before and still do. Hopefully this vatrano thing involves a D coming back
And one person thought he would be selected in the expansion draft, and everyone thought there was no way Seattle would do that, lolWhat do you mean?
Driegder was about to become a UFA. But because Seattle now selected him, it counts as our player we exposed in the expansion draft. This is a big win so far. One person was upset that we didn't trade him for a 3rd round pick before the deadline! lol
Zito at the helm versus Dale gives me the same feeling of calm as when Knight in net versus the panic when Bob’s there.Sounded way more like an Eklund style "E3" to me on the podcast. Not entirely buying what Seravelli was selling.
Either way, I'm not worried. Zito is not Tallon and has shown to be more than savvy with what he has and what he needs to make the team better.
Who else is excited about the offseason as well as next season? I can't remember the last time I was truly excited and confident with this team.
I have this strange feeling that Tarasenko is coming here and Vatrano plus a 1st will be the trade along with some salary eaten on Seattle's end.Not sure what will come of this, but the more I think about it, the more Tarasenko makes sense to me. He's 100% healthy by all accounts, so that shouldn't be a concern. It sounds like we're on his list, so that's promising. Notwithstanding this, his contract seems to fit with our strategy right now, he's got 2 years left at a fairly reasonable cap hit and it will expire at the same time as Huberdeau, Horny, Weegar and Knight so it'll give us a bunch of flexibility to figure out what we're doing during that off-season. Also, our RW depth isn't exactly great. Not sure that I want to get my hopes up, bit I think it would be a great fit for us (will fit our style of play). Only real issue is whether ownership wants to spend to close to the cap this season because bringing in that cap hit along with needing to re-sign Bennett still may put us up there. Losing Vatrano and maybe Stralman would solve this fairly easily though.
With how we cleared out cap this year I think Giordano could be coming hereI have this strange feeling that Tarasenko is coming here and Vatrano plus a 1st will be the trade along with some salary eaten on Seattle's end.
Stralman goes to Arizona to make room.
Could also be a d-man coming here instead of Tarasenko though. I feel this team needs much more help defensively than up front.
Driedger doesn't have to sign before the expansion draft and the league would have a word with them if they turned around and picked another player, then proceeded to sign Driedger to the same reported deal in free agency.So when does driedger need to sign by for him to be the pick? With it dragging out it feels like they’ll just draft vatrano and sign driedger in ufa?
Judge gets a #1 gig
Literally no clue why we are sending Vatrano to Seattle. Still confuses me.
