Ongoing NHL Thread - Part Brock and Roll Four Lines

It is now official.

The B's could use a guy like Mikael Backlund...

/I don't think they have the assets for Elias Lindholm

They kind of have to be all in again though. Carrying a max cap hit with a newly-signed Pasta, an aging Marchand and their top D in their prime with a good goalie tandem how don't you?

They still have their 2025 first and a couple of prospects I think would be enticing. Doesn't make much sense to hold onto that if what you need is available.

/Although I still have no idea wtf the Flames are doing right now. Half the team told them to fuck themselves and they're holding onto them lol

Did you Lindholm alert just go off

I think you have to be starting with a first or second like center plus a top prospect as openers, Columbus has four in the top 50 based on the recent post I read, if you want Elias, bring something good to the table lol

Are you telling Conroy to get to work? I agree.

Is the idea that new coach will equal some success and some of these guys might stay? Because that's one bold ass play in a season where the draft looks deep again and your aging team is chock full of pending UFA's who will fetch good returns.

Done. Boone Jenner was our first and second line center last year and everyone knows about the season Jordan Dumais had last year in the Q. Record breaking. We can also sweeten the pot with Adam Boqvist and Jake Bean (provided we can make the deal before the suspension for the WJHC list comes out - just in case)

Or just wait a few months for UFA to hit. We can get Johhny a prepaid card for long distance calls.

Pittsburgh Penguins Interested In Tomas Tatar

The Pittsburgh Penguins are "keenly interested" in free agent winger Tomas Tatar, reports Rob Rossi of The Athletic.

Tatar himself alluded to Pittsburgh’s interest in a recent interview with Slovak website Sport.sk, saying, “it [would be nice to play for Pittsburgh], but I don’t want to develop it further.”

With what cap space?

He's way too young for the Penguins

I think you need to trade both Backlund and Lindholm (I don't care if you want to call it a rebuild or retool), but get some young prospects/picks and give the young guys a chance. Also, get those shovels in the ground for the new arena.

That's future hall of famer Jordan Dumbass to you, mister.

And we still have people who are serious about this.

11 with over 100 pts and 5 with over 50 g last year and that was considered a miracle.

Flip side, if we’re looking at who’s in the league today and who’s entering it I do think we might get closer to that in a few years than we ever thought possible, especially if goalies continue to be as predictable as lottery numbers.
