Post-Game Talk: Post July 1st Talk

[Acadmus]

For people worried about Bob blocking Knight in a few years...what do you think the odds are of the Panthers exposing him in the expansion draft? It gives Knight 2 years to be NHL ready...just a random thought.

Has to be protected.

 

[RogerRoger]

Has to be protected.

Unless he doesn't want to be protected.
In any case, Monty might be a good target for Seattle by then.

 

[Chino Oscar]

Thought Stralman was only 6 foot tall... looks just as tall as Ekblad?

 

[Gentle Man]

Panthers killed someone lol

Sucks that we missed out on Stone, and then Panarin.

I know the cost for trading for Stone was high. We don't have a defensive prospect close to what Vegas had, but still.

I thought the compensation would be getting Panarin in free agency. But alas, it looks like his heart was set on playing for the Rags looking at much they signed him for.

Still a tad disappointed. Doesn't help that we overpaid for a goaltender, a declining defenseman, and a middle 6 winger. When Tallon traded Bjugstad and McCann, I was hoping it would be more than just an expensive goaltender, middle 6 winger, and defenseman on the decline.

We shall see how it all plays out.

Definietly has started training

Maybe he was wearing his skates...

 

[Gentle Man]

Bobrovsky and 3 casuals.

Good Lord, Connelly is one raggedy man. He looks 62.

Bob wearing one of the suits he bought in NY with his boy Panarin.

 

[Gentle Man]

Bob wearing one of the suits he bought in NY with his boy Panarin.

Yup.

Now here is the question, Would Bob have come here if Q wasnt here? Dale made it sound like Q was the biggest influencer. Pronger Played with Bobrovsky in Philadelphia too no?

 

[BeezKnees]

Yup.

Yeah which is crazy since Pronger is like 15 years older and feels ancient to me. Thought their handshake in the video was funny. "Hey Prongs...long time no see. Crazy huh?" At first thought he was joking like as if they had just met the other day during his free agent meeting... but nope. Teammates.

I've probably missed pages here and there but has it been discussed already: would people rather have Jugger/Canner or Connolly/Acciari? (money aside)

I love the Acciari signing. To be honest, it's one of my favorites. He brings a physicallity we severely lacked (until McGinn came back). He will help reduce minutes away from Barkov and Trocheck for PK.

McCann was good....but he likely was the bait for them to take Bjugstad. He also blocked Borgstrom to a degree.

I love this signing too. But I'm a sucker for in-your-face, hard hat hockey.

All of which filled a need though. FA means overpaying, especially for a top goalie like Bob. Someone was going to give him that money or very close to it

 

[Panteras]

what would it take to get Gusev?

 

[CHGoalie27]

what would it take to get Gusev?

Cap space

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Watching his highlights, I don’t see Tallon being interested.

Yep. Plus this:


He's actually perfect for our team.

 

[FrolikFan67]

If we move Pysyk, we’ll have between 3-4 mil left to spend. With him about 1mil once the depth/minimum priced guys have to be signed.

Acciari on one line and Hawryluk on another will add some nice grit to the bottom-6 on a separate note

 

[Crossbar]

Taxes! At least Bob was smart, Bread....not so much depending on our offer.

This team has been super soft. Watching the playoffs all I kept thinking was the Panther would be broken playing these teams. I liked Jugger and Canner is a nice player but I’ll take these two.
