1. I don't think mcginn it is very likely mcginn gets traded, but I just think it isnt worth it to be paying him 2 mil more than Puustinen and Poulin. I would much rather have a number of guys like domi, paul, mikkeyev. crouse ect who would cost only a little more.
2. I am also a zucker fan, it took a lot of balls to play through what he played through in the playoffs. I think he is a legit middle 6 player too, when healthy. I think this guy is a competitor and he will come to camp ready to go. I do not see the point of trading him if you are going to retain, sure he isn't worth 5.5, but he is surely worth 2.75. When healthy he is much much better than mcginn, heck he might have been better than mcginn while injured and he was being held together by duct tape and elmers glue
3. I completely agree that they resign more rfa as well. I just only went through signing the ones who I had in the lineup for game 1. The only resigning I would maybe disagree with would be boyle. I love the guy, but I think it may be time for him to hang em up. Don't get me wrong, he exceeded my expectations more than any other player this year, but I just think he had some heavy boots before his injury and I wonder if he has what it takes to come back
I agree with everything u said too. McGinn is super fast and him and Blueger play the way Sully loves. It’s not likely he gets traded and Puustinen and Poulin are probably ready and deserve a NHL roster spot. But u have to play the PK if you play on Sully’s 4th line too. Neither do.
It’s why OConnor was sent down. Specifically to get PK experience so he can play on the 4th line. If he played on the PK he would’ve played alot more. It’s why Bjorkqvist and Hallander got NHL PT last season too. Sully’s 4th line gotta play the PK.
Completely agree with Zucker. Again, super fast and pesky as hell. Just ran into a string of bad luck injuries here. Never even was able to get going and even able to build chemistry on a line. If we are retaining, I agree. Keep him. Like I said, maybe at the TD(and that’s depending on a lot of things too).
I agree with Boyle as well. Definitely over exceeded expectations. Especially on the PK. I just don’t think you can go wrong with him and Angello at league min again. And Boyle should definitely be in the press box playing against young, fast teams. Like the Rangers or Colorado.
