Yes, I got a kick out of our top 2 D draft picks and top 2 D roster additions being right shots Thanks for asking

I really like this signing if we add a good goalie. Improve the goaltending a little bit with these reasonable additions to the D, nothing splashy, and improve the D a little bit through a goalie addition. It’s the one more move I need to see before the rest is arguably gravy

I think we’re about to see a trade for a G

Yes I know housekeeping or whatever but I’m so tired of these seemingly endless groundhog day goalie signings for Buffalo I just want to finally see that good addition

We’ve moneypucked the D, which shouldn’t really be unexpected Hopefully this allows us to use assets to shore up in net I think it’s Stillman, Johnson, Bryson, Jokiharju, Lyubushkin for spots 5-7. Stillman and Johnson with the inside track I believe

Ya, so our top 4 is looking pretty set

Is the Joki minutes that Clifton is getting second pair minutes? Can’t even remember

Going to have to be careful to not screen Levi

Samuelsson - Dahlin Power - Clifton Stillman - Johnson Jokiharju Is that enough improvement on D? I’d imagine Bryson is gone and I picked Jokiharju for durability reasons over Bush but that’s anecdotal and could be wrong Looks to me like a modestly improved unit

There’s a non negligible chance we don’t see Kevyn move any assets this summer at all from our entire pool. Imo I’m hoping we are keeping them for a G trade

Hopefully since we aren’t using any assets to supplement D or F, we package some for a goalie we have so many assets

Another righty, 3 years this time. Seems good, no? Gives us some time to start some Rhd

I feel like Adams traditionally adds the plan B options first, and if no other deal fits his value determination, he just holds

Lol this better not be THE goalie

Ya, seems he’s more of a 6

Ya Handedness > Analytics Like I’ve always said 😉

Mixed reviews online. Seems ok but kinda a low level top 4 add

8 points in 63 games last year, age 35. Shut down D? What pair level is he?

Point is we have 13 guys if VO stays. Would still add a depth F if one is reasonably available to help offset Quinn loss and not have to rely on Rousek with only one more injury but the signing of Jost/someone like him was strictly necessary as we didn’t have a 13th without it

make it happen KA, market is quickly shrinking and we can’t be left without an addition

Makes sense. Rousek back to 13th man if Olofsson stays. I could see us doing no more at forward now, even if I’d be looking to add one more depth vet

I do think it’s a good spot to add a depth forward or two, now, though

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Blake. Please don’t ever come back
