Thompson has to earn his spot.
He SHOULD have to...but he doesn’t
Thompson has to earn his spot.
Not correctly it seems.
You’re arguing with numbers that don’t have an agenda or bias.
If McCabe can bounce back he can certainly fill a Top 4 LHD role which the Devils need. McCabe was really solid 2017/18. Last year he battled injuries and he’s still hitting his prime.and NJ does this why? Wood is a very solid piece on a nice deal. McCabe & 3rd doesn't offer a ton of value tbh. I want Josh Anderson too but realize its a pipedream.
dipping into UFA for a guy like Tanev or Acciari is probably more feasible if looking for depth F options with some jam.
still like the Donskoi option too.
What is the salary of this lineup?Different idea:
Pre-draft:
- Hire Rikard Gronborg as head coach.
- Re-sign Skinner 8/$9M.
Draft:
- Ristolainen, McCabe, Girgensons to Tampa Bay for Miller, Cirelli, Callahan, and Katchouk.
- Nylander to Minnesota for Brodin.
- 7OA: Peyton Krebs, C, Kootenay
- SJ/STL pick: Moritz Seider, D, Adler Mannheim
Free Agency
- Erik Karlsson 7/$9M
- Joonas Donskoi 5/$4M
Off-season
- Sobotka waived, returns to KHL
- Hunwick waived, goes to Rochester
Opening Night

Sheary - Cirelli - Donskoi
Rodrigues - Larsson - Okposo

He fell off towards the end before getting hurt, but for most of the year I thought he was far and away the most improved player on the team. Then again, I thought he performed like one of the worst D in the NHL the year before...Year 3 of this...
Is Brodin genuinely available? And for just Nylander? I'd driving Nylander to Minneapolis myself for that trade. He's everything our defense needs. He's the kind of player I'd trade Risto 1-for-1 for if we're set on trading him.Different idea:

What is the salary of this lineup?
You would have to take a million away from Skinner and add it to Karlsson. Why does Minnesota do that deal? Might have to be Nylander and McCabe for Brodin+ a pick.
Yeah, tell him we won't sit him on his bobblehead night.The target from the Sharks should be Donskoi, not Karlsson.
@Jame
I've liked everything I've seen out of Cirelli the past two years. You've obviously seen more of him, though.
Is he good enough to be a legitimate 2C on a team he'd be a featured piece on?
In other words, how much of Cirelli's successes can be attributed to being part of the NHL's best offense, and can he replicate them as the 2C here given the present makeup of the team?
IF Karlsson decided he would come to Buffalo, his cap hit would be $11 million minimum. Probably $12 million to be honest.
But he doesn't want to play here, so.
