LETS GO!

1x$1.1mil, steal

Dallas's projected lines so far:

JRob-Hintz-Pavs
Benn-Segs-Rads
Kiviranta-Faksa-Gurianov
Comeau-Glendening-Dell

Suter-Heiskanen
Lindell-Klingberg
Harley-Sekera

Oettinger
Holtby

Guessing Dobby is going to get traded, this is meh change from last year.

I know what we need...


DZINGEL

Bish will be on LTIR. But signing Holtby was just stupid.

I'm headin to Houston baby!

@Dzinger18 go join @AndrewLadd in Houston

Too late for that I'm afraid

HOUSTON*

Can't see Bowness breaking his wet dream pair Comeau-Faksa. Glendening will replace Cogs there.

That means our third line will likely be Kivi-Dellandrea-Gurianov.

I'm scared now that he'll play that stupid Comeau line over Gurianov's line.

There’s a 2nd team in addition to Colorado with serious interest in Darcy Kuemper. #Yotes

Gonna guess Kerfoot goes to LW and Dubas signs a defensive 3c (Ryan or Nash) and we see

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander
Mikheyev-3c-Kampf
Simmonds-Brooks-Spezza

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Dermott

Could change if Kerfoot is traded

Oh no I just posted in the Dzingel signing forum... my notifications are gonna explode

Gotta think Kampf will be that 3C of that team.

Edmonton, Pittsburgh, Chicago come to mind

It's probably Dallas.

f*ck

Reportedly there's a second team beyond the Avalanche interested in Kuemper's services, and they're offering more for Darcy than Sakic is.

My guess is Boston or Edmonton. However, I propose: whichever of Boston or Colorado miss out on Kuemper should take Koskinen at 50% from the Oilers in exchange for an AHL piece (RW preferably) and a late pick, a 5th or 6th. Koskinen's numbers are so much better than he's made out to be and at $2.25M represents much more accurate value. He's objectively the best 'backup' available on the market at that price and his deal is only for a year. His only flaw is Edmonton wants more bang for their buck. Quality backup, Edmonton finds their guy, everyone wins.

Then I remember Holland is the GM and he won't actually propose that kind of forward-thinking logic. Dammit.

I'd argue that objectively Driedger or Vanecek is the better goalie on the market after the Grubauer signing. Or Khudobin since DAL stupidly signed Holtby.

Blake Coleman gave a GREAT interview to Duthie on TSN.

Not some brain dead interview - good to see him and his family are happy and PAID.

I don't like Khudobin's term and I feel other GMs will feel the same way despite the gaudy terms handed out today. Have to think the Seattle tandem is Grubauer-Driedger but yeah Vanecek is a really cool guy to have in a system. Could be a future #1 or tandem guy but still raw enough to buy low.

Foligno to Bruins apparently

What did he say? Or is there a link to a twitter or yt vid lol
