He was Johnson's center at UMD. Would definitely be worth the gamble.
In the Championship game this year they each centered their own line.
But yea, he's decent.

Do you expect Reaves' production to increase on the Pens?
Man salaries are getting pretty ridiculous now.
Yea Vegas has 3 potentials in Eakin, Karlsson and Lindberg.
Just dunno if they're willing to part with 1.
I don't believe Haula is available.
And they signed Lindberg to a 2yr deal.
But maybe Eakin and Karlsson are available. Dunno.
I gotta think a couple of the 5 targets JR had were from Vegas or atleast 1.
Depends on his TOI. If it stays at 8 minutes, no probably not - at least not significantly. If he does get more icetime, then yes, I expect his production to increase as well.

What does this tweet say? Can't read tweets at the moment.

Is it possible that the longer JR has looked at his options at C, he likes what he sees internally??
Bluegar, Simon, ZAR and Johnson are all options. Maybe they have an open competition during training camp and see who rises to the top.

He has an NHL career shooting average of around 11pc and got to take about 50 shots last year (I'm going by memory, too lazy to dig out stats today). Most of our 4th liners take about a shot a game. So yeah, I'm confident of his goals going up. And I imagine his assists go up if his team mates, ice time, offensive zone starts and so on go up from St Louis standard.
Seems a reasonable gamble to me. Might get difficult gambling on Rowney and Reaves at the same time but we've got time to smooth things out on that if it goes wrong.
I hope Karlsson leaves Ottawa. Way too good a talent to be wasted in that ****hole of an organization.
Oh boy. Melnyk isn't paying him 12.5MM
Scratch Jussi Jokinen off the wishlist. He signed with Edmonton for 1 year at $1.1 million.
Honestly? I doubt he'd push for that much. I see him more in the 10m range. And regardless of how cheap Melnyk is or isn't... he will have to pay him that. Karlsson is the only reason why Ottawa made it to the 3rd round (not to mention game 7) last season. Not paying him simply isn't an option. Besides, as a almost cap team, it just means it's affecting the team around him, not the overall budget.
