You can also add Panik to the Caps, Varly to the Avs, and Zaitsev and Brown to Ottawa for Ceci.
I'm guessing this means we don't get panarin or hoffman being traded...?
Am I the only one scared of the Bob contract? I'm really excited to have an elite goaltender for 3-4 years moving forward, but years 5-7 are going to really hurt with a 10M goaltender who might (will probably) be on the decline.
If we're out on panarin, I'm hoping we go after Lee. Adding Connolly, Lee and Bob would be fantastic.
If that extra money is spent on adding Stralman....eh
At $12M I'm neutral on Panarin. Could take or leave.

Lee supposedly is gonna sign some $7mil per deal with the Isles. That's a lot of dough for 50pts production. Thx, no thx.
Well Stralman would only cost a bit. Might be best to save the rest of that money for Hoff and Dadonov as UFAs next year.If we're out on panarin, I'm hoping we go after Lee. Adding Connolly, Lee and Bob would be fantastic.

Just a question of if the defense is good enough to make the playoffs.
If Spencer Knight becomes what he is projected to be we will all be glad we took him at 13th.Tallon wasted the 13th overall pick. Bobrovsky will be almost unmovable with that contract, even without any NMC/NTC.
The way I see it, considering the goalie situation and the caliber of goalie Bob is, you kind of just had to go in expecting to overpay and adjust expectations accordingly. I would've been shooting for single digits but understanding that it would probably be more.Am I the only one scared of the Bob contract?

I agree. I think the importance of Panarin kind of got inflated by the excitement over being the odds on favorite to land him. If we had never been included in the rumors to begin with you probably wouldn't find too many Florida fans being like "man, we really need to break the bank for another dynamic wing"If he doesn't sign though... *shrug* of course it's less exciting, but I'm not that concerned. I wasn't worried about the offense, it just would have been all that much better with him here. Hard to be mad about being able to keep Hoffman.
1. "if". Experts and fans also hyped similarly highly touted goalies like Jack Campbell and Zach Fucale into greatness.If Spencer Knight becomes what he is projected to be we will all be glad we took him at 13th.
