Doesn't sound like a mixed feelings post by the end Wids.

Seems pretty positive overall.

Diehard.

I want to do that post the service of a lucid response.

As stated to UW earlier I will try and do so when the frenzy dies down and it won't get lost in the shuffle.....

He’s the ideal winger for Petey but not seeing how we can make it happen unless we are willing to part with some of Willander or Lekkerimaki. Necas imo was Carolinas best player in the playoffs, he’s so noticeable when on the ice, always pushing the play making things happen
Agree 100% with everything you said Dude.

Add him to our top 6 and we're golden.

But yeah...not likely to happen without further castration of our pipeline and even that may not be enough.

Shame.
Necas would be a great add - though I’m wondering if the team doesn’t want to block Lekkerimaki so is hesitant to add him. Lekk could be ready in the next year or so - it’s his draft + 3 season this year - and should be a goal scorer right from the start.
Sign Necas....move Lekk Hogs plus for Trouba 3 mill retained.

Yeah no. You’ve got a following her Megs, you can’t quit on us now.

I was hoping to retain Dries too, but Allvin and Johnson have a plan and the Abby Canucks will be competitive next year.

And there’s our huge dman - Desharnais for 2 years and $2 million per. Nice signing, perfect for Tocchet’s system.

Isn’t it fun? No leaks at all until the official Twitter account sends it out. The local media have no idea what’s going on most of the time.

Stealth, proficient and practical in most of the signings.

Tho I am looking forward to reading some views on the DeBrusk signing.

DeBrusk for me is a jack of all trades, do it all winger. He’s not Guentzel but he will probably score 25 goals and 50 points while playing PP, PK, hitting, and playing solid D. He’s a very good add. Hopefully Lekkerimaki will be the star winger we need in the next year or two.

That’s a huge D corps, I have to assume the largest in the league. When Forbort at 6’4” and 220 is your 4th largest D it’s pretty substantial. Tocchet’s fingerprints are all over these moves.
