This is good. It's a prove it contract IMO. I think IF there is a deal to be made, either Sproul or Jensen (boo!) would be in a package before XO. One of our issues was we didn't have any RH'd shooters, but if XO is dealt, pretty soon we won't enough LH'd shooters. Not that this would be a deal breaker, but I would think ideally you'd want one of each on your combos.

I too believe he will be Smith and or K's replacement soon enough. LIke I've said more than numerous times, there is just no room for all these assets we have. If you do not want to lose any of your kids in the waiver wire next season, there will have to be deals made. For me, if a top guy (Byf maybe) is acquired, then re-signed, K, Smith and E need to be traded.

Kronner - Byf

Deke - Green

XO - Marchy

Jen-Ho

That would be my ideal lineup by next season.

I do like that they gave him another year, and who knows, maybe he would be traded, he is NHL ready and has some experience. All in All, good signing, heck of a bargain.

I dont think we will lose 4 NHL defensemen. That's pretty far fetched.

Well, if we get Byf, you either trade all of Smith, K, E and let Q walk, or you potentially lose Jensen, XO and Sproul to waivers for nothing...and we all know how much you hate that! As do I!

I just think this team will be better and of course a helluva lot more cap friendly with XO, Marchy and Jensen up here rather than waste anymore time and money on Smith, K and Ericsson. ESPECIALL if we acquire someone like Byf!

Its either buff, or Byfuglien.

Ha.

And Ericsson isn't going anywhere unless he decides his hips won't hold up to another season, in which case he's ltiretiring.

Q's probably not back, and we may carry 8 defenseman until someone's hurt or a trade shakes out.(so, the first option.)

Lol I always say Big Byf, such a habit.

Bifffff
