[Bleedred]

Pass

 

[Devils Dominion]

Meh

Pass

Could claim him and waive JJ.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Could claim him and waive JJ.

you guys give me a good laugh sometimes

 

[Bleedred]

Could claim him and waive JJ.

What makes you think he's better than JJ?

 

[DatBoyJPP]

His 0 PPG in the NHL

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

going to be 25 this season and doesn't have 1 single NHL point and 2 teams have already given up on him

yea, definitely who we should be after

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Josefson has serious value on the PP, in a shootout, carrying the puck in and possession 5 on 5. Why do people want him gone?

Because he sucks in fantasy hockey

 

[Devils Army]

Huberdeau out 3-4 months

He has those assets, and they're valuable on a team that doesn't have players with his skills.

I was one of his biggest defenders on the board. I thought he was coming into his own during the preseason last year. But he got his opportunity on the top 6 for 10 games last year and was a liability.

He's not good on faceoffs as he was advertised, he's tougher by still rather soft as he is easily pushed off the puck, he's not very fast, and he's got stone hands. He's a better version of Rod Pelley.

He is good in space, but those skills he possesses are replaceable as depth gets better. He will make a good player in Europe.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Josefson is the kind of player that Cup teams have on their 4th line. He's not going to Europe unless that's what he wants

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Jake is one of the fastest skaters on the team lol

plus, no one says hes a top 6 player anymore

 

[Devils Dominion]

Meh

Pass

He'd be a nice addition to Albany.
But I know you don't make waiver claims for your AHL squad.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

I don't like JJ but I doubt Weal is better than him.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Weal isn't good. No thanks.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The obsession of taking on other team's trash never ceases to amaze me

Via text, agent Scott Greenspun declined to comment, but I do believe that he has met with at least one team about an offer sheet for client Nikita Kucherov. Can’t get 100 per cent confirmation on the club, so I’m not going to guess. He’s a terrific player who had a strong postseason performance, but will someone actually do it? There’s a big difference between talking and doing.

2. Greenspun’s refusal to talk is typical of the current RFA disputes. Both teams and agents are keeping quiet, not wanting to inflame their situations. Here’s the best I can glean with Kucherov. It doesn’t sound like there’s been too much movement here. Everyone knows Tampa’s cap situation. After seeing both Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos take less money to stay, the Lightning are undoubtedly asking Kucherov to do the same, especially since he’s not close to being unrestricted. Whenever a Russian is involved, you wonder about the KHL, but players at the World Cup said they think he wants to stay in Tampa and not go there. That could change if he gets angry, but it’s not his preference.

Maybe Ray is prodding?

 

[MadDevil]

Considering we don't have the picks to make an offer sheet, I kind of doubt it's us.

We do have the cap space for it...but I have no idea if the condition was met in the Ruutu trade that would actually send the 3rd round pick to Carolina this year.

But yeah, highly unlikely we're involved, but still interesting to see

 

[Ripshot 43]

Would be hilarious how this board would explode if we acquired our 3rd rounder back from Carolina in some random trade. Then Sheri does nothing with it just to troll everyone

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

 

[Darkauron]

PA Parenteau would be a great pickup imo.

I think I would die laughing

What line would you place him on?
