1 year. A bit over a mill.

[dudacek]

Marc-Antoine Pouliot?

[Brawndo]

Left Wing Depth at a very good price

[That Aud Smell]

Benoit.

 

What's his deal?

Left Wing Depth at a very good price

True. Middle 6 sort of player?

[dudacek]

I thought Derrick Pouliot was a defenceman

Check this out Second Line LW

[dudacek]

Benoit is a big fast body with questionable consistency.

Fills Foligno's roster spot, if not his defence or fistic prowess, at a much lower price.

Was terrible last year, but has scored more than 30 points before.

 

The type of calculated, low-risk value move I'd expect from Botterill.

This is a great addition. All Pouliot does is generate positive possession wherever he plays.

[Randall Flagg]

Exactly what I just asked for. Larsson's winger to replace Foligno?

Makes a Vanek signing less likely I would think.

Probably :(

[I-90 W]

Good signing though. WGR saying it will keep our AHL guys hungry. JB is making smart conservative moves I like it.

[Randall Flagg]

Signings like this mean fewer Deslauriers shifts

Thank god

[I-90 W]

Probably :(

I'm bummed too I really, really want Vanek back today. Call it nostalgia but I'll be over the moon if we sign him.

[Scottysabres]

Wasn't this guy on the Oilers?

Girgensons   -  Eichel      -     Baptiste/Bailey

Kane      -         ROR         -     Okposo

Poliot     -         Reinhart    -     Pommers

Moulson     -     Larsson    -     Fasching

D-lo

 

Scandella  -   Risto

McCabe    -   Baloo

Bogo         -    Antipin

Gorges

 

 

 

Thats looking OK

Scandella - Risto

McCabe - Baloo

Bogo - Antipin

Gorges

it, Vanek still fits. Let's go.

[sabills]

I think any more moves in (of legitimate starters) means at least one of Kane, Moulson, Bogo going out. Unless its a RW I suppose (there are only 2 guys listed as RW on the active roster right now).

 

Vanek in, Moulson out is a coup, though I don't know what it would take to trade him away.

If we sign Vanek, drop Moulson, put Poliot on the 4th line and get rid of Gorges that's a playoff roster.

[dudacek]

Okposo, Pominville, Pouliot, Kane, a crowd of emerging wingers in Rochester...

I'm starting to see fewer reasons to keep Samson on the wing.

 

Re-signing Gionta or Vanek or someone similar should pretty well cement he's going to centre, shouldn't it? (Or being traded. ????)

Edited July 1, 2017 by dudacek

[sabills]

If the best wingers we can get Jack are Girgensons and Baptise/Bailey he should be screaming to be traded immediately.

 

Yeah I don't love it, I was trying to appease the part of the board that thinks Rindhort has to play center and Kane is a cancer on his wing. In all likelyhood one or both of those guys are playing with Jack.

 

We have good wingers coming up, but we're a little light on the nhl roster right now.

I'm not worried. Pouliot and Pommers are short term, Gionta won't be resigned and Kane will probably be traded. I don't think Samson is going anywhere. Hopefully hes put at center.

[Norcal]

What are the chances they give Moulson training camp and preseason to show he can hang with the new guys and if not he goes to Rochester?

I'd like to see Sam at C
