Hearing Chris Tanev closing in on a move to CAL

Dhaliwal reporting it too.

LOL, going from bad to worse for our 'UFAs' this week. I guess we will get Taffoli though? Lol

If true, I kind of hope Van goes after AP now.

Bwaaa haha haha haha .... Elmer was asleep at the wheel licking OEL’s feet. The Holtby signing is fine but he will need to find some defenders. Come on Iggy put down the jug of booze and get to work buds.


We don’t have the cash for Pietrangelo.

Cool Hand Jim is on the case.

If they don’t add a couple decent d men to that scabby mess that’s currently there, I can’t think of a shittier D in the league. Old Man Edler as a#2, Myers as a #3, #Benn as a 4, yeah....no. Who’s left out there? Islanders and Canes have a surplus of D men. Hope they are talking to those clubs. Mackenzie Weegar is apparently available, pretty decent player. We don’t have much cash so this could be tough. Sounds like Frankie took the cheque book away. He’s a few years too late unfortunately.

I would have let both Tanev and Markstrom walk anyway so not upset other than they both picked Calgary. Nobody else made an offer

The only one I was interested in keeping was Toffoli if for no other reason than what Benning gave up for him.

I don’t mind looking from within to replace Tanev and waiting till Erixxon beagle and rousel are off the books to go all in on the right free agent for a push

RS UFA defensemen left on the table.....

Pietrangelo - a pipe dream, Jim would have to move out Eriksson and one of Sutter or Beagle.

Barrie - still a chance he comes at a discount, but our own-zone play would suffer.

Hamonic - I'd be good with this. Similar to Tanev, a bit grittier, but lately seems just as prone to injury.

Byfuglien - big pass on big Buff please.

Cody Ceci - Right shot. Stable, stay home, defensive blueliner. Could do worse, but he'd have to come cheap.

Mark Pysyk - Right shot. Can play both sides. Fairly mobile. he's 4/5 guy.

Sami Vatanen - Probably out of our price range, and rumor has it he's possibly headed back to Anaheim.

Troy Stecher - I want Jimmy to bring him back simply to give Topper mental fits.

Trevor Van Reimsdyk - Bottom pairing guy, probably a lateral move if he's replacing Troy. Slower, but bigger.

Right now it's

Hughes -
Edler - Myers
Juolevi -
Benn

Jimmy needs either Pietrangelo or two of those guys to avoid coming out looking like he completely shit the bed on this.

Glad we didn't trade for the other future boat anchor today.

I get a kick out of you broom pushers who think managers are unable to weigh multiple scenarios and outcomes at one time.
