Yes, anyone signed to an NHL contract (one-way or two-way) count toward the 50-man roster limit. That list includes Megan and McIlrath, as well as other 'not really considered prospects', Pope, Sadowy, Elson, Puempel, Terry, Chelios and Lashoff. We're currently at 47/50. McIsaac is already under contract, but yes Veleno will need to be signed this summer. I don't think Van Pottelberghe comes over. From everything I've heard and read, he has no interest in playing in North America and is content to stay in Switzerland. No big loss. I would say Larsson, Eliasson and Petruzzelli are all ahead of him anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But am I missing Kronwall's good games or is Kenny seeing a different Kronwall?? Yeah, extending Howard is a must, and 2-3 years would be ideal, hopefully to a similar (or slightly less) cap hit. Kronwall will never be a big point producer again, and he shouldn't be relied on to play big minutes, but in a 3rd pair, penalty killing role, he's fine. I'd be okay with re-signing him if there weren't such a logjam on the back end. We need to make room for Cholowski and Hronek, and with Green, DeKeyser, Daley and Ericsson already under contract beyond this season, there just isn't room for Kronwall. If you want to trade, waive or buy-out one of Daley or Ericsson, I guess I'd be okay with Kronwall coming back for one more season. I think it's time to move on though... 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get such a kick out of how hung up people are on big names sometimes. Quinn Hughes is a really good defensive prospect. But there are a couple of reasons to not just throw the bank at a guy like that. First, his style might not be that conducive to the more structured NHL game. So there's a chance he'll be a better prospect than he will an NHL player (happens all the time, see: Pulkkinen, Teemu). Secondly, we've already got a pretty good offensive defenseman who's putting up good points in the NHL already as a rookie. Filip Hronek is scoring at a 40 point pace in the NHL ALREADY. He just doesn't have the draft pedigree so people downplay it. Why break the bank for a smallish, offensive, powerplay specialist, who needs to be sheltered at even strength when you've already got one? Not saying I wouldn't trade for Quinn Hughes. Just saying if you took names out of it and said Player A vs. Player B this might not be so clear cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No bigger than Rasmussen or any other top 10 pick. No one is suggesting to "throw / break the bank". It was a simple one for one trade proposal. It's not like he asked if we should trade Larkin for Hughes... If you took the names out of it and said Player A (projects to be a 2nd line winger) vs Player B (projects to be a top 3 defenseman), most would choose player B.

If you took the names out of it and said Player A (projects to be a 2nd line winger) vs Player B (projects to be a top 3 defenseman), most would choose player B. Trading a top 10 pick and one of the organization's most promising young players counts as a pretty significant price. Particularly when we've already got an guy who looks like he'll be an undersized, top 3, offensive defensemen and powerplay specialist. And we don't have anyone like Rasmussen in our organization As for the 2nd line winger vs. top 3 defenseman, depends on what they're good at and what you've got a lot of. If the winger makes your powerplay lethal because he's so good around the net then maybe he's the more valuable piece because he's so specialized. I know when Holmostrom was on the team nobody was clamoring to trade him for anything, let alone an offensive defenseman who isn't likely going to be a #1 top guy (given his small stature and defensive shortcomings).

I don't know how you can consider trading a top 10 pick (9th overall) for another top 10 pick (7th overall) a "significant price"... I'd say there are about 6 forwards ahead of Rasmussen as most "promising young player" in the organization. I wouldn't trade him for just anything, but for a better player (regardless of position or area of need), you bet I would. Hughes wouldn't be my first choice of trade targets, but I think he would be an upgrade over anyone we currently have. You should always be looking to upgrade any way you can, and I think most would agree that Hughes is a better player / prospect than Rasmussen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,973 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Twas not a suggestion to replace Hronek or Cholowski. If we win the Hughes lottery, I just figure it would be great to have both on our team. Especially since Hughes was 100% going to be our pick until Zadina fell to us. Plus it was just a question of opinion. Edited February 26, 2019 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
