They would be stupid enough to think that.

Columbus doesn't seem to have much that to want. I mean I'd love Kirill Marchenko but he'd have to play LW here or move Tage back to C but Columbus couldn't be that dumb? Jet Greaves save percentage been good as a backup but he still hasn't played 30 NHL games to date.

He seems like the perfect middle six forward...odd if Columbus moves him with the contract control they have

Well Jaro knows CLB well. Dmitri Voronkov Is the only LW of interest on their roster. 48 points last year, young (24) and huge 6’5”. Not sure he’s 1st line material and if CLB traded him their Laws would look hideous

If Mrtka was truly 7th on their board, and their top 6 went top 6 in the draft, then that means they had Mrtka rated higher than Hagens. Which is interesting. Not bad, necessarily. But I don’t think that would have been the case two years ago.

Makes sense. They are not keeping him based on the moves they made.

Hmmmm…

Picking up a first line forward is a must. Next, they extended Quinn, he needs to take a big step this season. You are missing Doan. Doan should get a good long look at 3rd line ice time. Lindy must want some jam - Doan and Benson, or Doan and Greenway in certain situations.

I would sign up for a similar deal for McLeod

Eh, don't think it really matters if he gives the offer to a UFA verbally, in writing, or via smoke signals. The team will still have to submit the particulars to the league office should he get a deal agreed to. And that WILL have to be in writing.

In the Hockey News Draft Edition Parayko is the NHL comparison they make for Mrtka

Frankly, I highly doubt it; he's more likely to offered something stupid overpay wise than undercut the player

Few years away but, any one of those cities will taste the playoffs before we do again. Hell, I’d wager that they would make the finals before we see the playoffs again!! 😀

If Adams makes an offer sheet to a UFA, it will be official that he has no idea what he’s doing.

reminds me a lot of Parayko

20 hours away!!! Don’t hold your breadth - KA’s first move will happen aim august

I really wished we took him.

Nope - Robertson is much better fit

The only way you're even getting him to consider Buffalo is something to the tune of 15x7 which, to be honest I think he'd still take lower AAV for Vegas. Also I think you forget who our cheapass owner is.

Still too early since I think we will see a top 6 forward trade involving Byram, a prospect or two, and next years 2nd round pick (a man can dream can’t he??!) I expect he starts the season in the stands and works his way into the lineup if/when Greenway or someone else goes out with injury and/or filling in for whoever is underperforming after a few games. Ruff always liked to make young players earn their time so I expect him to do the same here now that he knows this team better. To me it looks like these players we drafted and traded for meet Ruffs requirements (physical, hard working, hungry) but also GMKA (smooth skating, slick passing). It’s too easy to be negative with these moves so I need to take the contrarian view. Even if these moves look like this:

Maybe Adams was like "how aboot 4x$4M?" ... i can see not dignifying that with a response, lol.

Yes, yes he does. I can blame Adams for being an idiot for a myriad of things but I can't hold Peterka not getting signed as one if there were no negotiations.
