I like Streit as a stopgap PP guy while we wait for Ceci, but Corvo will also be available this summer, no? Cheaper, and he's a right-handed shot. Streit is better, but Corvo may be more available. Maybe MacLean can get the best out of him.
Jay Bouwmeester is mobile. Kuba is not. Therein lies the distinction.Streit would definitely be a good fit, but as already mentioned it'll take an overpayment to get him as a UFA. But if the price is anywhere in Gonchar territory then may as well go after the guy.
And to the people (from the previous thread) who still want JayBo, someone a few weeks ago very accurately described him as Kuba 2.0, and we all know how much love Kuba got around here.

Marc Methot brought added mobility to complement Karlsson's game and it took off to the next level. It makes a difference when a defenseman can skate the puck out of harms way, especially with our style of play, and Bouwmeester is able to do that.
Not an accurate comparison at all.

I loved Kuba so JayBo would be great
if you loved kuba so much, i'm pretty sure floreda is willing to offload him for nothing.
At this point, they'd probably toss in a draft pick if someone were to take him off their hands.
He's been deplorable in Florida this year. Not that the rest of that team has been much better, mind you, but he's probably playing the worst hockey of his career right now.
Great D for next year though? Karlsson, Methot, Gryba, Phillips, Cowen, and Wiercioch.
I'm cool with that, although this may not be the best thread to recommend standing pat.
Hum...not that I think that Phoenix is looking to move OEL, or that they would...but since rumours are slow and nothing is imminent...
Lehner + Zibanejad + 1st 2013 for Oliver Ekman-Larsson?
OEL - Karlsson first pairing :O
I love OEL, but I think that's too much. It's Lehner or Zibanejad.
Zibanejad + Stone + 1st + Wiercioch/Gryba (roster player)

Also, with Jaybo we can safely miss the playoffs every year he plays for us. That's a positive, right?
