Brandon Pirri is the bump, along with whichever of Shaw/Thornton doesn't play.

Why do people think Pirri will get bumped I think he'll stay. It gives us depth

I saw we have 49/50 contracts.

I'm starting to think Pirri is gone too.

Maybe a bolland and Pirri package?

If anyone takes Bolland it's going to require us adding more than just Pirri. That's an expensive buyout and probably something we're stuck with.

Hmm how are the panthers lines going to look now with Hudler,Purcell?

I'm guessing they'll keep the Barkov and trocheck lines together and let Purcell/ Hudler play with Bjugstad. That way we basically have a 1st line with two 2nd lines and a 4th line of Howden, Mackenzie, Shaw

I'd like to see someone else with Barkov and Jagr, other than Huby. Maybe Hudler?

wouldn't mind seeing Pirri traded.

he'd be bumped next year anyway assuming they bring Crouse up.

can't see Thornton playing too much, especially in the playoffs. Just not the right scene for him, especially in the softer East.

Don't know exactly where Kindl fits in. Probably the 7D after not seeing a lot from the pipeline after Kampfer

Where's Kindl factor into the lineup? I figured we would shut down Kampfer and use Matheson/Regner as a callup.

These moves change up the way this team works. We can effectively roll 3 scoring lines with an energy line as the 4th. I'm excited.

I think if Crouse makes it day 1, a lot of guys will be bumped down or out. He's also possibility to play some in late playoff run. I think he'll be needed if injury bug strikes. He's that type of player to jump into playoff fire.

Think we will see Hudler-Barkov-Jagr until Huberdeau returns. Should be fun to watch

I'd expect this too.

Jokinen has been ok on that line with Jagr and Barkov but most of the time he is just looking to pass the puck like Barky. He is a much better fit with Tro and Smith who both are more shooters.

Sounds like Wilson is going back down but I prefer him over Shaw on the fourth. I think he has just as much skill, if not more, but also adds that physical element we could use in our lineup.

As long as Barkov keeps scoring from those passes, i'm fine with it. I want that hatty :laugh:
