Only good thing about MAF is the asset you'll get from Vegas Yep. As a player I prefer Crawford by a good amount. Money in that short of a term is whatever. Can't hate it. I think that's gonna be a good tandem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 You know, the baumgartner kid has quite a few fans. Want a huge fan of the pick just based on the data, but seems like there are some people who dig him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'm going to assume we have an internal cap and guess we have about 6 million left in space. I'd honestly take pieces like Johnsson and McDermott from Toronto and be okay with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think my reaction to him was clouded by the fact that the Russians were still OTB when we took him. Dmitri Rashevsky must just not want to come over at all.

I'd honestly take pieces like Johnsson and McDermott from Toronto and be okay with that. Hope not, otherwise our top 6 is gonna have a turd in it somewhere if we do (have a hard cap). We still have to address Top 6 wing (LW or RW depending on what we're doing with Gusev) and a bottom pairing defenseman (also depending on what we're doing with Smith). If we do have a hard cap, then that ~$6 Million better be used wisely (Kahun and Koekkoek!). It also leaves us pretty damn weak at RW which would be filled by a mix of Anderson, Merkley, Bastian, etc. in the bottom 6.

beekay414 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'd be fine with Johnsson and Dermott, obviously fwiw. Is Johnsson a 2 way guy? That's why I want Kahun tbh. That and Kahun can play all 3 forward spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Saint Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Take Tyler Johnson + RHD Cal Foote from the Lightning. You guys have the other Foote brother no? Tampa might hate giving up a young D-man, but they might be able to keep their already young talents on the main team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how Johnson fits with us tho. Obviously he can play LW and take faceoffs on a Hughes line but he's not a good defensive forward and I'm not sure how a Johnson-Hughes-Palmieri line works because of that.

That's actually a good line up. You add a lot of veterans in good positions. Crawford and Johnson's deal end in 2 and 3 seasons (where Hischier and Hughes are gonna need new deals). You ease in a potential top pairing too. It would set you guys up nicely to contend for the playoffs at least this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to REALLY believe in Foote as an eventual top pairing RHD. Oh and Hischier is signed for 7 years already.

Forge Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I wonder if there is any chance that we would be in on someone like Patches as opposed to someone like Schmidt for VGK. I kind of hope not...but at the same time, I feel like I could see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I like it. Joey was an easy to root for prospect, but he was always capped in potential. I don't love Johnsson, but he absolutely improves the power play and can play up the top six I do wish he didn't have 3 years left, but that's a minor quibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I do wonder if there will be a better opportunity down the line... Better winger we could have acquired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
