Bouchard is going to get paid.
I actually hope he doesBouchard is going to get paid.
I like the idea, but how many goalies are really upgrades that cost less then 2 mil? If we're retiring we might as well hope for a bounce back seasonGive the man 8X 6.5 more then he worth currently but it could be come like Draisaitl contract.
Yamamoto out - rookie replacement = 2.1 M
Kulak out - Broberg in = 1.75
Move Campbell if possible with retain 1M to 2m = 3 to 4M use 1.5 to 2 M on new goalie
I think someone is going to switch to their off-side. I like VD, but I'm not certain he's actually more than a bottom-pairing defenceman, whereas I firmly believe that Broberg will be a top-4 guy. I think a lot of it depends on whether they can win a series or two this year. If they go out round one, I wouldn't be surprised to see Kulak and Ceci shipped out. I can't see them moving out Broberg, I expect he'll get a full season of regular minutes next season. Him being on a cheap contract and potentially playing important minutes is so valuable for managing the cap, I can't see Holland giving that up.Since we have 3 days before the next game.
What do people think should be done with Kulak/Broberg?
I wouldnt be surprised if the team plays it slow with Broberg and gives him another season before making a decision on him/Kulak.
Kulak has been pretty good especially in these playoffs. Right side is weaker. Broberg can kind of play the right side but its a small sample size.
Giving Broberg another year and maybe playing him with Nurse could maybe work?
Should we think about packaging Broberg for another similar prospect (and keep Kulak). Is there someone out there whos similar to him but is more of a RD? Or forward prospect? One guy that I think about is Lukas Reichel. Always liked the prospect. Would be cool to see a german prospect on the team. Wonder if both teams would make a swap.
I think its an interesting discussion.

I'd be surprised if the Oil moved on from Broberg. Oil need cheap contracts and pedigree young talent to help the team's sustainability. Defense especially needs to have a deep pipeline as we saw with the losses of Klefbom and Larsson that organizational circumstances can change quickly and unexpectedly. I think Holland's done a really good job of upgrading the blue line this year while holding onto their two high pedigree defensemen including the confidence to move out Barrie to give Bouchard the wheel on the PP. Broberg though needs to get stronger physically to compete.Since we have 3 days before the next game.

I won't be surprised just like I wasn't surprised this year when we run the same d we have today to start next year.I'd be surprised if the Oil moved on from Broberg.

His cap will be higher if we go long term, hence the bridge talk.Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Broberg
Kulak - Desharnais
Ceci out.
Yamamoto out
Replace with rookies
Sign Bouchard long term to keep his cap hit down.
I have a feeling Brobergs coming out party is next season. His development is slowly progressing to a point where his brain finally makes sense of the pro game and we see his best.
He probably gets 65 plus points for a couple years and a 9 million contract if we bridge him. We would be screwed.His cap will be higher if we go long term, hence the bridge talk.
Find a way to get Poink and Saros without touching the core players
Yamo, Ceci and Campbell out?You know there is a salary cap right?
Yamo, Ceci and Campbell out?
I live in San Jose and I wouldn't say nobody. I could see the Sharks taking on Campbell if an EK deal is revisited.Nobody is taking Campbell, need Yamo's cap hit to sign Bouchard. Pionk makes nearly $6M. Ceci is good value for his contract. Still need to sign several RFA's and Bjugstad.
Aint happening.
