Quoting: DDossett
Ok i'll give it to you he fits. But that bottom 6 is looking a little rough.
I still think its a bad idea and you're probably not making any serious cup runs with that bottom 6.
buuutttt you've got space and who knows, its a talented group. With skinners contract up in 3 years from this you can probably keep this team together with some bridge deals. I have to say YOUR RIGHT!
As far as the bottom6 goes, i just replaced them with talent we already have- or have coming
There’s room for a cheap Vet addition or 2 that could help stabilize all that talent
As far as making a Cup run goes….
If we don’t get Meier (or another big name) then we’re depending on the kids even more- & it’s tough to see us going after a Cup anytime soon that way either
Plus, if we don’t bring in someone that forces out Olofsson, then we’re a lot more likely to just extend him
And while I’m not the Olofsson hater that many here are,
idk that he could be a key component to a Cup Winner either
At the end of the day,
adding a guy like Meier certainly tightens the strings a bit
Maybe it’s premature to make a move like this & we should wait another year or 2 or 3….
BUT
if we wanted to- and yes, i realize that’s a big “if”
We could make it work with the Cap, & i do think he’d be a great player for us
