I'd just assume let the GR kids play...If we end up missing the playoffs again, and have a solid chance at the top 3 picks for 2018 - I can live with that. This It's right time to tank/suck it... Next year draft is deep and it's about time to see what our kids can do also. At the TD de should move Green for a 1st rounder, She could get us at least 3rd rounder... hopefully our drafting strategy will improve... 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Streak is over and we needs to rebuild not retool Not if Holland is going to screw the pooch with his top 10 picks though. I agree though, this team needs a rebuild not a retool, and that starts by dumping all the salary we can, even if its for 7th round picks....E, Nyquist, Helm, Howard, etc...we need to open up about $20M in cap and be one of those team that needs to meet the cap floor. Then we can maybe outbid some teams for a REAL upgrade to out team. 3 Dominator2005, BadgerBob and xault reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that we can trade Nyquist but all other players are not movable. A true rebuild will start once that KH will leave... he's retooling once again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted June 30, 2017 We need an entire overhaul upstairs. We don't need any of his assts. taking over with the same philosophy. We need an entire new coaching staff, and have about 6-8 players sold off for whatever we can get. I guarantee we can get 6 and 7th round picks for all the players mentioned above in a fire sale. I don't care really. Of those players mentioned, I'd keep DD and Sheahan though. I would start by asking them to submit their list of teams in their clause and then contact those teams and take low picks just to get rid of them. 2 BadgerBob and xault reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even better for Buff Foligno is just god awful. Ennis is fast but small, Pomminville is the better player just older and Scandella is a good upgrade at D for them.

But we'll still end up with a top pick most likely. Edited June 30, 2017 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he weren't claimed and assigned to the Giffins - which would be astounding considering how high the organization was on him just one year ago - only $1.025 million of his salary could be buried in the minors." Pure conjecture on the part of Khan, but if this is how Holland clears $4 million cap space or parts ways with Mrazek...

If we're actually interested in him, I say offer him 1 mill or less on a one year deal and see if he can make an impact in camp if he signs.. if not, we can bury the cap hit.
