I’m not so sure if Monahan is the target. He is not Ralph’s type of player (200 foot) and all the chatter is that Ralph will have a lot of say in roster development.

Grandlund is a UFA. He mentioned him as someone Adams might be interested in after Adams was announced.

Monahan for Risto, do it while they are reeling and not thinking straight?

If we could acquire a 2C without trading #8 and then land Rossi or Lundell in the draft they would be in good shape down the middle and could use Cozens as a scoring RW.

It is not about just getting a player like Monahan. It is about an all in plan to upgrade around the big acquisition. This is where Murray failed with ROR. He didn’t properly bring in the other pieces to give the team enough quality depth to compete. someone like Monahan or Cirelli would be great starts but the goaltending needs to be addressed, they need to actually have a plan to build the d corps in a way that makes sense with Krueger’s system and bring in more depth up front.

Hopefully Mike Bales could put in a good word. If Botts was here I would imagine it would be a possibility but I don’t know with Adams. Did they ever play together? I have heard that the Pens players thought Gonchar was excellent in the past. Him mentoring Dahlin and Joker would be tremendous.

Yeah, it makes no sense. Half the league is looking for RHD. Montour should bring back a quality top 6 forward piece.

No one even knows if it is Calgary or what players are involved.

Sign Kyle Clifford as an UFA

I know you said you were asked not to mention the team involved but do you know all the players involved? If so, What is your personal Feeling on the trade if it goes through? How do you think fans will generally feel about it.

If this is legit then I think people are missing the significance of the last sentence. “Add significantly depending on playoff performance” to me rules out vets such as Stephan or Monahan. It would lend credence to a younger player still developing their value. Someone like a Cirelli or a Strome.
