For Pesce level acquisition sure, but not with the present roster. Plus Dahlin is practically the same analytically and looks better on the right side

I just want a couple games so we can have a Johnson&Johnson D-pair

I wouldn't since it puts a player out of his element on the Top pair and wastes Muel's talents

He would be suspended and not paid in that case. Additionally there would be a chance he’d get blackballed by the league

I’d offer Jokiharju, Olofsson and UPL for Gibson and Henrique

If Gibson and Henrique could be had for UPL, Jokiharju and Olofsson I'd do it. But only if Ryan Miller tells us Gibson is salvageable.

They also legitimately seemed to change from trying to expose the players to experience to a very aggressive winning approach seeing as players who weren't "trusted" were benched and in the end the goalie carousel completely halted.

Analytically, Klingberg, Domi, and Bertuzzi aren't exactly defensive stalwarts

Mayfield is also already older

That is what you call a boom or bust signing

I think he’s here primarily to be a vet presence on the D. He’s also has a solid bit of career clout and a Cup ring

Clifton would be Power's partner for the most part, Johnson can't handle the Top 4 minutes anymore

I honestly don't believe Johnson is a lock for 5/6 to be perfectly honest. He's rather old at this point and is very likely to be more of an in & out of the lineup guy who is there to mentor the young defenseman more than actually fill a role on a continuous basis.

I could definitely see Buffalo still acquiring Pesce in order to completely overhaul the defense Muel - Dahlin Power - Pesce Stillman - Clifton Johnson Bush and Jokiharju are moved The signings do rid us of that desperation we had for Pesce which can't hurt either

This one does Not necessarily; would just mean both Bush and Jokiharju are gone

How were his analytics prior to the Cup Win?

My guess is at least 2 of Bush, Jokiharju and Bryson are gone Johnson would be the 7/8 and mentor guy with a Cup ring

Well that says something I'd say at minimum.

Now we have 3 #1 pick defenseman

Well its sporadic

Twitter more or less down

I could see that Kulich and any of the banged up guys probably Savoie will show up though if only to hang out with Benson Also by excused; I’d guess it would be more excused from on ice activities but still be in town for the bonding sessions.

I’d take Patches over Duchene on a 1 year show me you can still play deal. Savvy vet who can likely still pot goals with the best of them. Has injury issues but between Quinn and him we should at least get 82 games and good to great production

I’m still ridding us of Olofsson’s lack of defensive play if possible. In our current system he is an anchor
