i'd play poj and save that oleksiak money but i like coleman and armia

I personally don't think POJ is ready just yet-- he can be call up option but he got exposed after his first two weeks. He needs to put about 10-15 pounds on this summer.

Armia and Coleman add what we lack in bottom six. Nosek and Tatar would be solid here too

Zucker has more value than that

Agreed

I like the Halak signing but is he worth 2/$2,000,000?

Youd like to think that, but I will be happy if thats all we get. He has been a disappointment here and needs a change of scenery. CHI would be a good fit for him I feel with the way their centers play. He can't play with Malkin.

Tatar would fit better with Malkins style

I wasn't sure with him tbh. Would he sign a 1 year $1.5M?

I agree, but the Pens could get a bit more for him I think. Maybe a 20 ish year old decent prospect?

Maybe. Id take those picks and let Hextall do his thing. This offseason we will see Burke's fingerprints all over the trades and signings then Hextall's fingerprints in the draft decisions

i think burke wants to take another run at the cup but i don't think anyone knows what's going through hextalls mind

I think they can take 1-2 more depending on offseason. If you can get depth scoring and solid defensive dman, you take a lot of pressure off of 87 71 and 58. This offseason will determine a lot. BTW, love Jeff Carter move by Hextall, what a great move.

ya he's been one of if not their best player since he came here. he can be a big piece next year but we'll see how it plays out

I think 3C is perfect for him. Match ups work out for him better than being a 2C.

Id really like to see him on the first powerplay in the slot. Rust can't get the job done.

they don't have a big body which is what good pp's have, ie; killorn

Yep. 59 gets thrown around. If Sullivan wants to attempt winning this series, have to switch the top six around

16-87-42
59-71-17

Zucker has only been good with Crosby since arriving. Kapanen speed and skill will help Crosby out too.

Guentzel only had a career year last year on 71 line, not a big deal. 2019-20 season was a prime example that 59-71-17 work great

sully is a great coach but his downside is his stinginess in terms of making small changes when things aren't working. lets hope he thinks of something

I don’t think Zucker makes much sense for the Hawks. They have 3 of their top 6 wing spots locked down, and they can give a young guy a chance with the open spot. Can’t see them giving up draft capital for a high-priced vet at this stage of the rebuild.

Yeah, I would think so. It all depends if he has a bounce back year.
