We get it. You want forwards

Want is one word.

Recognize the overwhelming need for them is another.

But it’s a Pegula team. Defense, defense defense.

Low scoring, boring and losing. That’s the Pegula sports guarantee!

Is that really Gilmour, not Brayden Point? His skating is very impressive.

I’m sure Terry doesn’t care about an extra 300-500 thousand for someone who could help the NHL roster.

No, he just won't pay the $7,5 M bonus for O'Reilly and got us less because of it.

He's the guy that needed $3 from me for the rookie tournament. Tightwad.

The Pink Floyd guitarist wore #93? Learn something new here everyday.

He did wear a hockey jersey, just not sure what number....

5 of our last 6 top draft picks have been forwards. The only exception being Dahlin - a can't miss Once-in-a-generation opportunity. Would have been 6 of 6 if not for the lottery win.

Currently our 3 highest paid players are forwards. When everything shakes out a couple of years down the line I would expect 4/5 or 5/6 of our highest earners to be forwards. Again Dahlin being the only exception.

Additionally - the team currently has 20 contracted forwards - including RFAs. So while the team does need to add talent there they also need to ship a few bodies out.

This is why these offseason scenarios posted here which have us adding 4 or 5 forwards to the NHL roster are so unrealistic.

This guy can flat out fly. Serious speed. He'll see time with the big club this season.
