NO.

NO.

Wasted all that time on a creative first post for nothing.

To take the pressure off TDA, obviously

I think it will be zucker. Good 2 way numbers and can score. He likely struggles in Zona because of Zona’s roster. He would make a cheap add that likely is better than his numbers with Zona will suggest.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Henrique would be quite dull.

 

[SlavinAway]

We like our group

 

[cptjeff]

Somehow, Anson Carter returned!

 

[AD Skinner]

I wouldn’t be angry about zucker or Henrique. I would be legit tickled with kessel and can’t quite figure out why he’s not signed anywhere other than maybe he doesn’t really want to. I just think he’d be super fun to watch

I can think of a few reasons:
He’ll be 36 to start the season
He’s never taken great care of his body.
He doesn’t really play defense
He was a healthy scratch for most of the playoffs.
He averaged only 11 goals per season the last 2 years while playing all 82 games each year.

I don’t think he’d be much fun to watch because a guy like that probably wouldn’t get on the ice much on a RBA coached team.

I suspect he’ll sign somewhere, as there are probably still teams that could take a chance if he’s cheap.

Ideally, we somehow convince Kane to don a Canes jersey, assuming he is healthy around December.

Bunting-Aho-Kane
Svech-KK-Necas
Turbo-Staal-Jarvis
Marty-Drury-Fast

That would be next level ridiculous.

If Kane is just a shell of himself then disregard all.

It will be an "own-rental" being the only move at the deadline that enrages me. Book it.

I agree.

We should trade away our own rentals (guys that will be UFAs, Pesce, Skjei, Teravainen, etc.) right now so we have room to add a some rentals at the deadline.

I'm fine with our strategy of smaller depth adds if we could just have slightly better injury luck.

19-20 Pesce and Hamilton (played because of the delayed bubble but didn't feel quite himself) with huge injuries
20-21 Slavin hobbled before the playoffs
21-22 Freddie done
22-23 Patches to an extent, but really Svech

If guys get banged up once you're in, so be it. That's the name of the playoff game. It'd just be nice to compete without a massive injury to a crucial player before things begin.

Now, if they decide to make a big add because they now have a better idea of the picture beyond this season, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But I don't expect anything more than them to be in on big things and we'll see what happens.

Maybe Zegras will be available. He is another Necas who likely wouldn’t play center here.

I don’t think we push the value needed for him.

Maybe though

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I'm hoping that with the added cap space, the FO goes more for a player who can make an impact long-term. One impediment in the last few offseasons for such an add has been lack of deadline cap space due to LTIR. This year, hopefully, will be different.

No f***ing way Anaheim is giving up a guy who's likely a 1C in this league unless there's an unreported trade request that nobody is talking about. Pettersson at the deadline is likelier than Zegras, and that chance is microscopic on its own!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

On the modest side, Nino would obviously be a fit based on versatility. There are few line combos that wouldn’t make sense to some degree. No worries about finding chemistry as well.

I still like Perron. Neither fast nor physical, but still has skill and compete. Reminds me of Justin Williams at the end.

All signs point to Zegras being disrespected by the contract offers so far.

He might play center for a team that lacks talent but his play isn’t indicative of a successful center in this league.

I didn't say that he is right now. I'm saying that he has all of the passing skills and elite offensive sense to become that sort of franchise center in his prime. Teams don't usually trade those kinds of players.

Well, probably not the right answer for "anger the most", but definitely polarize the most....
