I don't mind the player - 6'3"+210lb+fast as f***=like - just the logjam of middle-six(a bit generous maybe) forwards we got.

We shouldnt be looking to improve our team this season , we need to bottom out and guarantee a top 4 pick (yes we know its a lottery) . we want someone in the top 6 ? Give svechnikov a few games , call up zadina get a look , rasmussen etc... anyways i said id have traded regula not for a guy who’ll be gone soon . We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one . What else is new We have the luxury of Hronek and Seider now, two player who Regula was never going to pass on the depth chart. 3rd pair right handed D isn't a hard spot to fill, making Regula expendable... Lindstrom, Saarijarvi, Bowey, Lindstrom, Tuomisto are all expendable too Perlini is a guaranteed 2/3 line forward and is still a young gun himself. We don't need to bottom out anymore, if you hadn't noticed we're already there. 2 hours ago, nyqvististhefuture said: If we had to trade regula id have liked a move like a lauko from boston Literally why 2 krsmith17 and CupCrazy22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
