    Rakell - Getzlaf - Milano Heinen - Rico - Terry Jones - Steel - Silfverberg Rowney - Backes - Sherwood Lindholm - Manson Fowler - Gudbranson Larsson - Djoos I like Djoos and I like what Larsson has been showing me. I read Djoos played on the right side in Washington. Not sure what we do with Mahura/Irwin.

    I’m not sure about picking up a Forward. We kind of have a log jam. Terry, Comtois, Jones, Milano, Heinen, Rakell, Getzlaf, Rico, Backes, Aggozzino, Rowney, Sherwood, Steel, etc. I’m not sure how NHL ready Zegras is, but there’s a lot of Centers he’d have to jump over. Getzlaf Rico Backes Rowney Steel. We also have a pretty big logjam on the left side of our D as well. So, if we pick up a Dman it would have to be a RHD I imagine. Pietrangelo, Vatanen, Tanev, Kevan Miller, Barrie, Stone, Van Remsdyk, Demelo. I would love Pietrangelo. That makes us so much better immediately, but I’m not sure if STL even part with him or if at 30 he fits into our plans or if BM is even willing to pay him. Vatanen /Barrie don’t really fix our problem, I think we need someone to compliment our smooth skating defensemen with a more stay at home style, someone responsible in their own end. We have Larsson(who’s starting to find his stride) Fowler, Djoos, Mahura. So I’m not sure if Vats or Barrie really help us. Not sure Any forwards really stand out to me as realistic targets. Toffoli, Melker Karlsson maybe?

    Look at last night. Gibson played great while the Ducks let them basically take shooting practice on him and eventually it was 5-1. Gibson has kept us in most games, which is a testament to his ability considering how fast the game went from 2-1 with us getting on the board to 5-1 with complete ineptitude in the defensive zone.

    I’d understand drafting Dysdale if we move Manson. It’s not seeming that way, so I’d rather draft an electric forward

    It’s seeming that way

    I legit do not understand how Giordano keeps getting away with throwing dirty hits/knees. I mean now people are talking about it more because it happened to Lord McDavid. Guy is a clown

    Don’t really know about which thread to throw this in, but realistically who should we look at drafting? obviously Lafreniere and Byfield, but I don’t see us getting top 2 picks. I think 5-6 is probable. Pronman put out a mid season ranking and has Holtz at 6. Goal scoring winger,which we need. There’s also Rossi at 4 who’s a center, playmaker. Those are the two guys who stand out to me in the 4-6 range that I’m sure we’ll be picking at.

    I guess my position on rebuilds is that there’s a sweet spot. You sell of everyone for magic beans and they never sprout you’re the Oilers. You constantly put off rebuilding and flip your roster you’re somewhere in the Wild territory. I really don’t want to see BM absolutely strip this team. Our core isn’t that bad, when I look at Detroit. I understand why they dismantled everything, they didn’t have a stable core of players and had to get one via draft. We have a pretty good Top 4 D, Getzlaf still plays at a high level, Rakell, Silf, Henrique, and Gibson. Our issue is we have too many kids in the line up and that’s effected our ability to score on a consistent basis and defend. I don’t think we should be dismantling the entire team, we have a good amount of prospects that are shaping up to be decent, Zegras, Mahura is NHL ready. If we can add some 23-25 year old scoring talent to our Top 6 and like 2-3 of our kids pan out. I think we can be back in shape.

    I know you didn’t just say that Gibson’s contract is bad....Gibson is still Gibson, he still keeps us in games, makes amazing stops consistently, and is young. Goalies don’t usually hit their prime until 28 and we have Gibson signed through is prime for 6.4 mill. That’s one of the best goaltender contracts out there. He’s behind an awful defense and a team in transition. We’re also getting our moneys worth out of Fowler this year. Lindholm might be better defensively, by Fowler is by far our most important defensemen on the roster.

    The more I think about it, the less I want to trade with Toronto. Unless we’re getting multiple of those guys and a pick, the more I’d rather be reserved and target buy low candidates ie Bennett, Wennberg, Galchenyuk
  11. Sexlaf15
    does anyone know anything about Kerfootnor Johnsson? Because based on their basic stats alone, that’s a massive underpayment on Toronto’s end. Manson > Muzzin. Even Kapanen’s stats aren’t exactly world ending. Toronto doesn’t have their first this year and can’t trade 2021’s as it’s part of a trade conditionally.
  12. Sexlaf15
    I mean, if you want get your William Karlsson you gotta make the moves. Galchenyuk is a perfect buy low candidate. The article also said Calgary has been hesitant to sell low on Bennett. I’d do it in a heartbeat.
  13. Sexlaf15
    Lebrun put out an article for the Athletic and gave his thoughts on all the teams. The Ducks section was pretty vapid. Just talking about how BM wants to use our Cap space to acquire talent. The only interesting part was that he suggested we send a middling pick for Galchenyuk, give him a test drive and consider resigning him if we pans out.
  14. Sexlaf15
    I’m fine with that. Adding Anderson/Wennberg or maybe both could be huge. I’d really like to see a move like this. Wonder of BM has the stones to do what a couple of GMs have done to him. Take a chance on a young under performing kid and turn him into a legitimate player.
  15. Sexlaf15
    Henrique /Manson? I wouldn’t mind moving our second as it’s basically a late first, especially if we can get a proven guy from teams needing picks.
  16. Sexlaf15
    I’m really not too sure. Just some names I’ve seen been tossed around the rumor mill of being shopped. To be honest I totally forgot how low we are on RHD, was just going off of the age/talent of players apparently on the block. I wouldn’t be surprised if we do flip some roster players and create some holes. If we do keep all of our LW I wouldn’t mind giving Jones/Comtois more time in the AHL and let them figure it out. Specifically Comtois who has looked pretty bad this year. Apparently Anderson Might be getting shopped. I’m not too sure what Columbus wants as they’re in a weird spot, they’re winning on the back of some incredible goaltending. They’re in a Wild Card spot and only 1 pt back of the Isles. I thought they were done after selling out to make the playoffs, then losing Bob, Panasonic etc. So, I’m not sure if they’d want pucks/prospects or a roster player for Anderson.

    Some guys I think could make some interesting trade targets. Erik Gustafsson: Had an amazing 2017/2018 year and cooled off a bit, but have heard some rumblings. 27 years old, maybe a bit older than than we want to shoot, but could round out our D core, also if we trade Manson well need another Dman. Sam Bennett: could be had for cheap, only 23, has had a relatively disappointing career. Perhaps a change of scenery could unlock that potential. Don’t know if Calgary trades in division, but interesting name. Josh Anderson: Had 27 glad and 47 pts in 17/18. Big body, Total Murray type kid, but 25 years old and looks to be around a 20-25 goal kind of guy. Shayne Gostisbehere: Im surprised how fast Philly has turned on this guy. He’s been a perennial 30/40pt guy and 60pt potential. Has been having a really rough year, but he’s a great skater and puck mover PP QB.

    From everything I’m reading on Twitter there’s no real whispers of anything other than the Knights being 4-6 in their last 10 and their standings. If Gallant wants to be an assistant, for the love of god throw all the money at the guy. Give him our special teams and have him give Eakins advice.
  19. Sexlaf15
    Absolutely baffled. They also hired Deboer?????? Jack Adams winner a year and a half a go. I don’t get it. Has to be something behind the scenes?
  20. Sexlaf15
    Hahahahaha hahahahaha haha, we got Laviolette canned! This is our Stanley Cup this year. Wonder if the Preds stop diving? Have to imagine that it was being endorsed by the coach and if a different coach comes in and won’t have that
  21. Sexlaf15
    I would. Why not take a chance, basically add a top 10 pick to the team, add some more youth. If he can be had for cheap, why not? Although BM never makes these kinds of moves it seems. Also, Swedenheim.
  22. Sexlaf15
    I remember saying I wouldn’t mind Ritchie knocking this guy into next week. Someone finally had enough of the clown diving all over the ice. Not condoning what Bortuzzo did here, just not surprised nor do I feel bad
