Toronto becoming easy to dislike. I like.

Some of us don’t believe goalies are worth the contract or the ones that are don’t become available. Boston is already trying to get rid of Ullmark for example

Granato had multiple games he kept them in for 5. Offense turned around but 5 is a… safe lead. He’s doing all the same failings as McDermott. All culture no smarts.

Helle isn’t that good and isn’t worth the contract hell

Who is trading a roster upgrade for an overpaid PP specialist?

That’s great. The penalty kill is atrocious and he lost many points not pulling goalies earlier enough when it was painfully obvious

We’re two players over the roster limit. A couple guys are going to get free rides

Guy seems happy that his gaffes he can blame the system on now instead of being the lame duck in Boston

Levi didn’t play until the last handful of games, which if we didn’t lose half our top6 to injuries would’ve likely been all wins.

Fully expect them to either trade UPL or waive Comrie and expect him to get claimed Toker can absolutely play a game or three

And it’s that time again to use the ignore function on the guy who makes a dozen threads and shits up every other thread with his insistence on some magical goalie. So much Levi disrespect

Reuniting Mittelstadt with Yamamoto or getting a couple years out of Tatar only makes the team better, no?

Compher was the last guy I wanted. On to playoffs

It’s nice that both top pair LDs will have conservative RDs behind them. Consistency across the line up has a lot of hidden value.

Joki is the only one with trade value. Bryson is just odd man out. Stillman played really well in our system and probably earned the minutes. I would keep Lyub around and let us play with one less forward- the forwards can play the waiver rotation game anyway.

It’s hard at this point to believe both UPL and Comrie make it to the season. Also expect a defenseman to disappear or an injury we haven’t heard of announced. The overhauls are nice- developing for the sake of developing seems over. With this mindset I would think a depth forward would be in play, but Geekie signed elsewhere. Day isn’t over yet.

Gudas to the west coast is great. Can’t stand watching him play, now relegated to only two games per year. I wish we would bring a Compher back. Help out our PK

Right. I was not happy with either signing.

Amazing upgrade over Bryson. Former #1OA to mentor our pair. By no means does Granato have to pick which struggling rookie to give 10 minutes a night. Great signing even if he’s spent, he isn’t going to be relied upon.

This is perfect. I was getting worried cause any mention of rumor of him had dropped off the last 6 months for a bunch of other defenseman that didn’t simply just plug the hole with no qualifiers or other scenarios it creates like Clifton does. KA is an all star GM.

We re signed Okposo and Girgensons and plugged that slot.

Opposite of what they usually pick. Interesting selection. Wonder what fancy stat we aren’t seeing or whether this was a traditional scout deferment

No prospect pick. Puts even more need on filling this gap

Not sure how anyone can get mad about what it took for cup teams. Buffalo has been the biggest component involved in some of the biggest trades that quickly turned into a cup for a team (ROR, Eichel, almost Reinhart). If anything teams should be mad at us for giving away elite talent that usually isn’t available in the trade market to put teams over the top. But really, Vegas getting March and Stone and circumventing the cap is the type of crap that never should have happened.

The trades is what brings the excitement. GMs want to know what deals are available before signing UFAs to fill the holes afterwards. GMs are still holding their cards whether they are rebuilding or not up until draft day. If you move UFA first then bunch of teams are going to just be ready to pick and not deal.
