Send Johnson and a pick & prospect for Keith. Who cares if Keith sucks in 4 years when Johnson will suck then and until then. I agree gms think higher of Johnson than fans and may fill that “current nhl player” gms are looking for in trades.

Keith-Schultz
Petterson-maatta

SHOULD be a solid bottom six. If it fails look to move maatta and Pearson in the off-season

I don't think we can afford Keith's contract.

He fits this year but would certainly require Pearson and/or maatta to go over the summer

My concern with Murray is health related, not performance related. If people are concerned about Murray as the #1 going forward because he can't stay healthy, that's one thing. If it's some expectation of him having to play at a .920+ save percentage clip, that's entirely different.

Pearson sucks. Hagelin wasn't any better but atleast he was fast, but Pearson just sucks.

Wilson isn't anything special and I do not see any real upside to him. But for someone getting 10% zone starts, his numbers are pretty good. Add in a physical game, a 650k contract and us not hindering his development in any way if we scratch him for half the season, and he's a nice player to have as the 12/13/14F. He's basically Ruhwedel of the forward group. Which when you have a bunch of younger players vying for roster spots in the 10-12F range, he is a nice one to have kicking around.



Not so young at 27, but yes he's a nice depth guy to have on L4. You don't ever want him any higher then that, but he's a good cheap player for that line.

Disagree, tbh he's easily worst player, he's a black hole

Well I’m not sure there’ll be better alternatives out there...I just think if we can’t rely on Murray (injury or otherwise) then I don’t want to sign him to a lengthy extension t double his current salary

The goal is to win the Cup, not sign the best contracts. If we can get cheaper equally good goaltending vs Murray at 6MM, let's do it, but don't avoid paying the market for a goalie just because you don't want to.

Also, if Murray still struggles with injuries and consistency, then maybe he comes cheaper.

Hagelin would have solved nothing the last few games.
It's so crazy to be attached to him.

The team was plenty shitty earlier this year with his apparently amazing speed.

 

[Andy99]

Is Ethan Prow ready?

He’s good enough right now to compete for a bottom pairing spot, and he’s a natural RD which we’re dying for...he should at least be tried...no doubt he couldnt be worse than JJ

Oh to clarify I don't think having Hagelin fixes anything. At the minimum he was fast and could PK. Pearson on the other hand is producing offensively(pacing for 28 points over 82 games) at a worse rate than Hagelin did just last season for this team(had 31 points in 81 games).

Just another JR trade that did not improve the team. Like most trades he's made the last 2+ years.

The biggest fix to this team would be to not have black holes in JJ and Maatta playing 40 minutes a night.

There’s a chance he could be worse... like DP bad in his end with way better skating.
