MOD EDIT:
The previous lineup/lines thread hit 40 pages. Enjoy the new one, into which I dragged some of the recent chatter.



never heard of this guy/don't know his credibility but this tweet is blowing up (kinda), so I guess he has somewhat of a good reputation?

we’re looking for another center?

 

[stevo61]

Maybe im alone in my thoughts but I feel like I have a bit different vision than others. Id try out something like:

Texier-Dubois-Bjorkstrand
Nyquist-Domi-Bemstrom
Foligno-Jenner-Atkinson
Foudy-Nash-Grigorenko

I want to see Bemstrom in an offensive role and if he can develop chemistry with Domi the payoff could be huge. I would however be quick to switch Nyquist with Foligno if that line looks overwhelmeld

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Jenner on domi wing with cam? Defense and scoring?

Jenner would be a boat anchor to Cam and Domi's speed and skill. Unless if we trade for a 1LW, go with Texier-Dubois-Bjorkstrand / Nyquist-Domi-Atkinson as the top-6. Foligno's and Jenner's roles and usage need to be diminished.

 

[EDM]

I am still waiting for a No. 1 LW. Domi is a great start but I hope he is not teh end of the offensive rebuild.

Well, we need to sign Domi who reportedly asks for $5-6m per year, PLD and Gavrikov. Might be tough to land some big fish

 

[CBJ goalie]

Don't worry about that, with the flat cap salary demands will get depressed.... CBJ should hopefully get the best of what Domi can offer, if he's playing for his next contract.

 

[EDM]

Well to it seems that the "base package" trade for our new LW will consist of Korpisalo, Savard and Bemstrum.

I’m fine with that if it’s JG or Laine.

 

[cslebn]

I feel like having Foligno play wing for Domi could try to recreate his Shaw season. Maybe a line like:
fligs - Domi - Gus (yes he's rw too)

It feels like Cam should go back to his dubi/Calvert days. Grigs is a wildcard since he's really a winger now but has never been hugely physical. Plus Bemstrom really needs to find his way to some skill ama Bjorkstrand rather than being stuck with Nash.

 

[Finner]

Big fish incoming and we have all the pieces still what we expect. Korpi+Bem+Savard+Murray and now we can add MTL 3rd in.

If those pieces cant land a FISH what can?

Well, if we buyout Wennberg, we should have around $13m in cap space, while we also need to sign PLD, Domi and Gav. It might not be easy to land someone like Gaudreau or Laine with their contracts

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We still have the same centers as last year, yes we need centers. Especially so if Wennberg gets bought out, which is very likely.

Domi might start at C, but I don't think that experiment will last very long unless Torts decides to stop paying attention when that line is on the ice. That relationship will be a doozy.

Thats true. 13M is not enough for those 3players. But trades will be happening and Jarmo is genius and he will land scoring winger.

 

[Theo Von]

gut feeling: korpisalo and wennberg are both gone by Monday. (korpisalo via trade, wennberg via buyout)

 

[EDM]

We simply have too many players on our roster. Thus I expect some 2 for 1 or draft pick trades to be coming up this week.

I was hoping that the Jackets would sign Hoffman for the LW but I'm not sure that is feasible given the cap situation. Best bet is now a two fer (or more fer) trade as EDM suggests.

 

[DJA]

Do the dominoes start falling for Korpi/Elvis now?

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

I think the Murray trade shows us exactly how much value we should expect for either Korpi or Elvis.

Late 1st, IMO, isn't a bad return. Now they need to go capitalize on someone's need.

 

[MFRONE]

Uh...why is the hell is Wennberg still not bought out?

If thats what they got for a 2 time cup winning goalie I would think our goalies with minimal #1 goalie experience and minimal playoff experience at this level would bring a lot less unless packaged with more. I keep both. It would have to be an unbelieveable offer to part with one of them plus a high quality asset.

I think the depth in the goalie market is driving the price down.

Wennberg needs to be bought out by Thursday at 5pm

 

[Monk]

Wennberg needs to be bought out by Thursday at 5pm

Might as well keep trying to trade him for a pick or something until then though...

my first thought after seeing that return.. though we definitely have the non-core pieces to get a better return

I think the depth in the goalie market is driving the price down.

not the best news for us... but it also was kinda the perception to begin with
