Proposal: Off-season moves

[MillarWithASave]

Wouldn't we have room for Lucic if one of Hudler or Purcell don't sign?

We have more than enough room, for one of anybody, right now it looks like the focus is D and Yandle.

He's going to be at least 5m from Van or Edm. Too expensive, and would leave someone unprotected like Bjugs.

hmm...7 Forwards 3 D Right?

Smith, Barkov, Trocheck, Bjugstad, Huberdeau, Crouse (though wouldnt he be exempt?) McCann. If Crouse is Exempt then Lucic can be protected.

Thought Jagr in my head for some reason, Jussi would be unprotected though.

If we had Lucic, IF, I wouldnt mind it. Jokinen would be turning 35. Doubt Vegas even takes him then.

Maybe they take one of Kampfer or Kindl

Crouse and McCann would be exempt... Crouse isn't a pro yet and McCann will just play his second pro-season next year so he is exempt !

True. This season are both's second season.

There we go. Even better.

Crouse and McCann will be exempt.

sorry for the repeat.

If Hawks make Shaw available, we should try to snag him and Van Reimsdyk. Could TVR be good enough to replicate Guds on 2nd pairing? Thoughts?

Crouse - Bjugstad - Shaw

Crouse - Bjugstad - Shaw

This is the line I've been dreaming of since my last line of : Huby-Barkov-J Ward ... Jagr worked out ok though

Shaw would be great but we got young guys coming up. The focus needs to be on D.

 

[Gentle Man]

HBJ
TRO Line
Looch Bjugs Crouse

Sick 9.

Gritty but offensive 3rd line. I'd love it.

I'd assume some of the young guys would be traded for Shaw. Just a thought/idea. I agree the focus should be on D but the 3rd line is lacking "something".

I like the thought of Bjugstad for Cam Atkinson.

 

[RainingRats]

I like the thought of Bjugstad for Cam Atkinson.

Bjugstad is on a great contract if he can live up to his abilities. Quality center depth is so important. We saw how he picked up the slack when Tro went down. We don't have anyone we know we can rely on in the organization right now. He's going to have a full summer to train for once instead of surgery. I can also see him and Ekblad thriving on the PP with Yandle to get them the puck with their shots. I think it would be a bad move to trade Bjugstad.

I like Atkinson too fwiw.

These guys in Mgt are analytic nutz, and they may be trying parrot Pitt. Speed, Quickness, Sniper, and Skill seems to fit the template.

I think that could describe Bjugstad.

 

[Brokin]

I think that could describe Bjugstad.

I dont' think Nick is Cams equal in the skating dept (speed/quickness), nor skill in handling the puck. CBJ made a big mistake showing no respect to Johansen. CBJ's other option is to try and work a trade with ARZ for their two first round picks and choose Logan Brown/?

To be perfectly honest Brian Campbell has just a good of chance of going deep in the playoffs in that Central division with the Hawks as he does with the Panthers at this point.

He should take a 1-YR 3M deal with us.

$3m for a disappearance act in the playoffs is $3m too much.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Said this in the Yandle thread...


trade for a top 4 defensive RD. Since they aren't done yet I could see this being a priority now.

 

[Gentle Man]

Is Jagr 4 million too much as well?

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

It's likely at this point. Was there a better version of Jagr available?

I thought the same thing but my guess is the interest from Florida isn't there now that they got Yandle. Who knows, maybe Chicago can't fit him and he's left with no option but to sign with us.
