Major difference. Hutton was playing behind a wall in StL and was already 32.

And they are allergic to actually playing defense in Toronto; ask all their ex-goalies.

Wow. TB with 3 8 years deal on Cirelli, Sergachev and Cernak totaling $159 million. Talk about committment.

I’ve wanted him gone since he got here. I’d love for him to be beaten out by any of Murray, Biro, R2 or Malone. I’d love for KA to get an 8th D and waive Bjork.

Yes

I wrote this back on May 2 in the offseason goaltending thread. However props to @Norcal for saying KA should acquire Comrie at the trade deadline.

That should make @LGR4GM happy.

Possibly, but Fitz is making this team. He adds a hard charging attitude this team needs. Right now we have 4 LHDs and 3 RHD, but Dahlin is playing on the right. Almost seems more likely that he get a defensively responsible LHD for depth or gives Pilut a chance to make the roster.

My son-in-law, who is a Jets fan, said that had he played 90 more minutes last season he’d have been an RFA instead of UFA. More good team management.

Lol, i just posted this as a new thread.

Barring Injury (or other roster moves and signings) - Cost approx 63 million. Forwards 14 Skinner Thompson Tuch VO Mitts Quinn Vinnie Cozens KO Asplund Krebs JJP Girgensons Bjork Defense 7 Samuelsson Dahlin Power Jokiharju Bryson Lyubushkin Fitzgerald Goalies - 2 Comrie Anderson Key Depth Forwards - R2, Murray, Malone, Biro Defense - Clague, Pilut, Davies, Prow (updated) Goalie - UPL, Subban

Still hoping for Rutta

Same plan but with some minor upgrades. The D in front of the goalies should be better with Power and the new Russian. Comrie is an upgrade on Tokarski. Subban vs Dell is a wash as both stink. At least Comrie has upside potential.

So is KA done?

Absolutely. He’ll be a good pair with Bryson and allow Bryson to be more active offensively.

Comrie 40, Anderson 25-30, UPL/Subban the balance.

So is KA done? We are at the cap floor and he has done the bare minimum but got two decent players to fill his roster holes in the process. Anything else? I’m still hoping for Rutta or another good D.

And boom we are at the cap floor. And there was much rejoicing.

Assuming it’s true, the best part of this signing is he is one of the few available goalies with upside. However is he good enough to play 50 games. Husso with a similar resume did it last year so it’s definitely possible.

Adds depth. Not exactly a top 4 D.

From your lips to G-d’s ears.

Ristolainen

Jones, Rittich and Comrie have signed yet for what that’s worth

We are at 14 forwards right now including Quinn, JJP and Bjork.

Better late then never.
