Well, cue the 3 year deals for a few 35+ year old defensemen and we can call this another standard off season for us.
-
Still waiting on ANY good news this off season. So hard to be a fan right now.
-
CALGARY. GOD DAMN IT.
-
Most people say good riddance, but seem to forget that he was our leading scorer/point getter until he got injured...
-
This guy is under the radar but man, averaged almost two points a game in his junior year and was a Hobey Baker finalist. Watched some highlights of him and he plays a very complete game with a hell of a shot. After a horrible season and draft, this would be an awesome win if we can land him, and could almost promise he would be on the roster opening night.

More tweets from "family friends" saying he's signing with the Flames.
-
If I were them I'd go for Stone in FA. Seems like it'd be a good fit.
-
Missed other post with sane tweet.
-
I highly doubt this guy would have gone in the first round.
-
Straight from the horse's mouth. They took him cause of character, plain and simple. It's funny, at one point Wright even says "and even if he's not producing offensively, at least he's hard to play against". Haha. First round pick gents. A guy with good character who may be hard to play against. Glendenning and Miller have great character too. Surprised they didn't go first round.

You nailed it. There were defensemen on his team who had more points than him 5v5. Look st his highlights. All garbage goals on PP only due to size difference. 4th line grinder material at best.

Vilardi is big but also has some skill.
-
The #1 guy in the 1st round I’d stay away from is Michael Rasmussen…Big guys who score at the rate Rasmussen does at 5v5 don’t work out. pic.twitter.com/B4aHKQ7d0I — Zac Urback (@Zac_Urback) April 19, 2017

Wtf?!? Vilardi available and we take this guy?

Artemi Panarin to Blue Jackets for Brandon Saad
ShanahanMan replied to Keep Your Stick On the Ice's topic in General
If losing Panarin gets them Saad AND Oshie, I'd say thats a damn good deal for Bowman. -
Hah, would never happen. We could package it with Mantha, and they still wouldn't trade for #1.

Official Expansion Draft/NHL Awards, Crosby love fest thread.
ShanahanMan replied to MabusIncarnate's topic in General
Alright, fair point. I'll give the edge to Larkin being a more complete player. Just such a rarity for this team to have a player that's electrifying to watch. We're so boring. -

Athanasiou only played about half the season though..... -

Custance thinks Athanasiou is gonna be our trade bait for a top D. https://theathletic.com/69497/2017/06/22/athanasiou-could-be-the-price-to-upgrade-red-wings-defense/ Really hope not. One of the most fun players to watch on the Wings in years. Him and Mantha are the only two pieces I really care about keeping. Rather trade Larkin than Athanasiou. -
I agree, and I think he really needs to go. It's almost like he's Babcock's retarded twin.
-
The ability is there but work ethic and motivation is still questionable. Doesn't reflect well when you get benched multiple times in your rookie season for performance problems...
-
To an extent, but we still need guys we can rely on to score goals. Right now, I think Tatar and Anthnasiou are pretty much our only solid goal scorers, and these guys are maybe good for 20-25 at most. Need to have a guy or two who we can count on for 30+.......natural goal scorers that we haven't had since Hossa.
-
I say that and we simply dont have any pure goal scorers. Zero. The only guy we had was Vanek who could barely squeeze out a contract in FA. Still outperformed all our regulars. Really shows the lack of offensive depth on this team.
