Remember Hasek? If there’s one position that can get you deep into the playoffs, it’s the goaltender. They can singlehandedly get you there.

Dahlin has a guaranteed roster spot. And maybe Tage.

These teams can do this, but I believe they can only do this after the season has started. They will need to get below the cap prior to the season’s start.

Yep. Sounds like more of a Terry wish than one of Kevyn’s.

Dylan Garand, a Rangers prospect. Hmmm…

Personally, I think we’ve jumped from KA asking Johnson “he needs to figure out what type of player he is” to we better give him a spot so he doesn’t jump to FA. Has he really shown a difference between then and now? I would tell him that he would be invited to camp to compete for a spot on the team. But, that he’ll be competing against players that already have a good amount of NHL experience. We don’t need to rush him and we don’t need to bend over backwards to give him something based on a perceived threat. In this scenario, he starts in Rochester.

It’s refreshing that we’ve apparently graduated from the boneheaded moves category.

He has a NMC, so will have to consent either way.

I dunno guys. Portillo seems more polished and was much more comfortable talking about his lost equipment, while Johnson just seemed immature and uncomfortable speaking. Not a knock against him, it’s just his mental development at this stage. I do think he’s looking at this camp as an audition, like he alluded to. He could’ve easily just said he’s going back to school. Why not? 2 others already have. But, he didn’t. I think this is a hard decision for him. I personally think he needs more time to grow up and become more comfortable in his own skin, so should go back to school.

Jordan Poyer has made a Pro Bowl?

Geez, how does he really think things are going to go?

Toker is gone. Needs to be updated with Plague. I mean Clague.

Championship

High hanging fruit there. Glad he checks that box.

Definitely. Especially if they’re able to stay on the ice. To me, that’s probably my highest criteria.

2 years is the new $750k. happy with this signing. Gives us some breathing room, even if he ends up being average.

So, you’re saying he’ll get run?

Championship here we come.

This meme never gets old.

I would’ve sent them the rights to Johnson.

$750 —> $850k, because inflation.

I’d take Samsonov as a reclamation project, but only if he comes cheap and doesn’t have an attitude problem.

The price of others may not matter if they don’t want to come here.

I’m happy for him. Imagine being that young and suddenly getting paid that much money to play a game you love. Congrats to him.

The T word.
