Stevie doesn't stop

 

[bedtime20]

ok

 

[Hen Kolland]

Now there's simply no way that there isn't a move that follows

Note...we've heard a lot about how Larkin is getting closer an extension and not Bertuzzi.

 

[KJoe88]

This one I don’t get.

 

[PuckeDRW]

$2.5M/year...

 

[MBH]

Dude this is stupid

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Huh...this one leaves me scratching my head.

Are either Vrana or Bertuzzi on the move?

Where is Berggren going to play? He's Swedish. We can't trade him!

 

[TheOctopusKid]

What the hell is going on? Bert is gone, right? That's what all of this is...

 

[Hillbillywingsfan]

just seems like this is being built up for a big trade. What other explanation is there?

 

[PelagicJoe]

Hopefully that means Erne's worthless ass is on the way out then.

 

[Gniwder]

Stevie doesn't stop

Well he has to Czech all the boxes....

 

[Sparty]

Did Suter play much with Kubalik in Chi and how did that go, anyone know?

 

[PuckeDRW]

Possibly to the loser of the Kadri sweepstakes?

 

[Bench]

Dominos are being stacked here...

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

From what I've seen of Kubalik he's got decent mitts and plays with some jam. Not super strong defensively. 2nd/3rd line tweener type.

My guess is he's filling the Fabbri role and I get my wish of shooting Zadina out of a cannon.

Here's his card.

 

[jaster]

I Kubalike this.

Erne is what you want on Line 4.

Erne-Rasmussen-Sundqvist is a decent L4 all day.
You want Kubalik or Perron or Berggren in Erne's spot?

 

[Gniwder]

Now there's simply no way that there isn't a move that follows

Note...we've heard a lot about how Larkin is getting closer an extension and not Bertuzzi.

Negotiation leverage is what I am assuming, plus it gives D-Boss a reason to stay if Stevie is willing to spend in free agency.

Maybe it gives Vrana a Czech to play with when Stevie ditches Zadina and Hronek.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

PP2 option.

 

[Gniwder]

Erne is what you want on Line 4.

Erne-Rasmussen-Sundqvist is a decent L4 all day.
You want Kubalik or Perron or Berggren in Erne's spot?

WHo the heck wants Erne at all? Did you watch a single game last season?

Send him to GR.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

I mean if we sign free agents to improve the team and bring in some assets by moving out guys like, idk, maybe Bertuzzi and Zadina, that seems like a solid strategy no?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Trades coming!

 

[Holden Caufield]

Not a bad deal here. Good low risk signing.

Kubalik Has scored 30 goals in a season believe it or not !

Raymond - Larkin - Bertuzzi
Perron - Copp - Vrana
Kubalik - Rasmussen - Berggren/Fabbri
Sundqvist - Suter - Zadina/Erne/Smith/Veleno

 

[MBH]

Did Suter play much with Kubalik in Chi and how did that go, anyone know?

They played 101 minutes together.
Kubalik had 0 G/60 and 1.18 P/60
Suter went 0 G/60 and 0 P/60

Wings are either planning on trading Bert/Zadina/whoever
Or they are gonna let Zadina simply walk away.
Maybe they have no faith in Berggren/Veleno/Rasmussen
