Too soft to win a cup?

He turned the 4th line way too soft

Why trade Merrill over Holden?

And why trade Carrier (Captain Crunch) only to replace him with a non factor Smith-Pelly who played mostly in the minors last year?

And in no universe does Wild Bill sign for under 6m or Schuldt under 1m

Also where is Gusev?

I’m no Vegas fan, but respected there physical element, part of there home ice advantage, there collecting too many well paid soft veterans to be successful. They had such a advantage then gave it back.

Miller, and smith got to go, tuch and glass need a shot at top 6, need some competition

I'd agree with Miller going, top 4 right handed defensmen should return a 2nd rounder

The logjam is at center so Eakin may be out not Smith

I would say logjam is at veteran bandaids, smith, stasny, Haula and patches on occasion, I would keep eakin, just because he plays a role that you don’t really have abundance of winning draws, blocking shots, and starting to also contribute offensively. Not sure if he is going to live down that bloody connection with the sharks

Gusev too looks like the real deal. He and Kucherov are the most dynamic due at the world championships right now. If Haula can be the player he was, they have three top lines. The 3rd line was their biggest weakness last year, not next year

Yes definitely got the scoring covered, need the physical element to stay, and ship a 5plus million contract to make room for karlsson dough, and continued improvement from within on blueline and glass, tuch, and gusev push top 6

What would you want from Tampa in return, in order for Tampa to get back Gusev's rights?

Why you wouldn't sign Matt Cullen and Chris Kunitz? Because they are slow AF

Imagine thinking William Karlsson signs for that little

If you are dumb enough to trade Smith, buffalo will take him

you're 1 million short on Karlsson's account. He has to be qualified at $5.25 or becomes an ufa.

There lots of places, that would take him, I didn’t say give him away. What’s your alternative plan there genius

Ey, I started a discussion.
