Jake Evans looked like he'd be a good low key add. Savard wasn't half bad either.
I agree. I like Skinner but his history is still inconsistent. I'd like a goalie with a resume to complement Skinner. I'd be happier with having Pickard if our starter was someone like HellebuyckSkinner seems back on track lately. Might save us from having to make a big splash on a goalie. Would still like to add some goaltending depth at a reasonable price as Pickard is wildly inconsistent in his career and both goalies are relatively untested in the playoffs, but not being forced into a move is nice.
There's probably much better options than Monahan thenI don't think Monahan brings that much, but if he can win enough draws and win his matchup in the bottom-6 that might be a nice depth add
No bjugstad, too expensive I think. Though he might do well as a 3/4C understand KnoblauchThere's probably much better options than Monahan then
At the very least, the RH version of him.
Seems silly, but if Arizona falls out of I wonder if they'd retain on Bjugstad. He's signed 2 million for this year and next. That would solidify our bottom six
Not my thing, although I appreciate that he'd come free in trade assets and low in AAV. It's so odd because he is RH so it just feels like we have a player in Gagner who has that spot. Gagner wasn't as great in his prime but is younger.How are people feeling about the Perry rumours? He seems to have some juice left from what ive seen of him this year and he checks a lot of boxes, hes a real ass to play against and he got cup experience, something this team seriously lacks. Id like him in the bottom six for league minimum or close to it.

He will likely pass up on us knowing he won't get top unit PP time hereBig yes to Perry if he's willing to come here
Time to call Holloway back up. The bottom six is so slow right now and has like zero skill and they are just doing absolutely nothing. Put Holloway in the middle of Kane and Gagner and I guarantee you at the very least they get a few offensive chances a game instead of the zero the entire bottom six is contributing right now.
janmark-ryan-brown theres no way you keep erne or hamblin in the lineup over Gagner/HollowayDoes that mean benching Connor Brown? The team will collapse without his PKing.

Agree on what we should target but id hope we get in on GuenzelThe Winnipeg game and the LA game, gave us a taste of what playoff hockey will be like against contenders. Even this most recent 3-game stretch was tightly contested and we saw our offense struggle. It has me leaning towards a Top 6 addition moreso than anything else. When games tighten up in the playoffs we’ll need that extra scoring talent to break through.
I listened to a recent interview with the Knights GM and he said they targeted Barbashev cause he was a player type they didn’t have on the team.
On that front, I’d look for a scoring type we don’t really have right now: A Pure Sniper. Someone that can just rip one in and surprise with a goal from 20 feet out like Kostin did in that one super tight playoff game. But obviously we need someone better and more consistent than Kostin though for the Top 6.
I’d look at a guy like Tarasenko. Who will be for sure available at the deadline.

He would be alright as a 12/13/14 option with the depth.How are people feeling about the Perry rumours?

He brings more to the table than any of Gagner, Erne, Holloway, Hamblin, Brown or Janmark. The latter 2 kill PKs so they at least have that going for them.With Savard on the ice at 5on5.
The Canadiens got outshot 17-2 12-4 in scoring chances, and 4-1 in high danger chances.
He looked like he was just there.
He would be alright as a 12/13/14 option with the depth.
Nothing more though.
He was the 2nd least used played on the blackhawks at 5on5 with 9:45 a game, and he wouldnt be on the first powerplay unit here.
Big yes to Perry if he's willing to come here
To add to this, why would the Pens trade Guentzel unless he tells them there is no way he is resigning. They have already committed to stay with their core by adding Karlsson. They have the cap space to resign him as well. But even if they did, the ask will be substantial. We are talking something like a 1st, Holloway + for a pure rental and then to fit him in you have to subtract from somewhere else on the team.Guentzel, Tarasenko… even at 50% retained I don’t know how you make these guys fit. I guess you send out Kulak. But then you need a veteran bottom pair guy because the org doesn’t trust Broberg.
