Has Dubas tried Denis Malgin yet?

 

[thedddd]

Phil Kessel is available.

Oh, no

Shazbot

That is almost precisely the deal I was hoping we'd give him.

 

[thedddd]

Why is it I really want the Penguins to sign Mike Hoffman. That locker room would be pure gold with him and Karlsson together.

 

[puckhead]

kind of amazing that Oliver Ekman-Larsen will be paid by three different teams next year,
and receive a Stanley Cup ring from a fourth.

Looking at the junk left in Free agency you could sign Vrana, Kubalik and Zadina on the potential of making sure your team sucks. Even better it will finally make Don Cherry's head explode.

Then if you REALLY want to tank and screw over your goalie add Barrie, Klingberg and Deangelo to your blueline.

I was reading the other day that the Flames have the most cap space remaining of any team in the NHL (approx. 24 shmill). Keep up the good work Conroy

OK I’m sold, you can have one of Letang or Karlsson. And I will throw in Tristan Jarry.

All of this could be yours for the low low price of Yegor or popsicle

Flames should offer sheet Holloway or Broberg on the Oilers - Weaponize that cap space and force the Oil to match and put them in even more cap hell than they currently are.

I'm in the minority here but I just don't think Bouchard is that good. He's nice on the PP but I don't notice him doing much 5-on-5 other than giving the puck to 97 and 29. And I don't care what the talking heads say, I think he's still subpar defensively. He's gonna get paid though.

I giggle every time I remember that Nurse is the comparable that they need to top.
