He's your prototypical 3rd pairing guy, and probably not much, if at all, an upgrade over the aforementioned... I just relate him with Yzerman. I would not care if we got another LHD like....speaking of every thread....acquiring Nic Hauge in a Cap dump trade with Vegas! Sorry, couldn't resist! Again most importantly I'd like to see a LHD come in and be in our top 4. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no direction with his signings. He just signs whoever. With Steve you can see a clear direction the team is being built. With Holland he just overpay whoever will sign the sheet 4 AtlantaHotWings, amato, krsmith17 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leddy was as big a move as I'd like to see, but nedeljkovic was just a massive power move dick swing by Steve and I'll take it. I'd really just like to see the kids flourish and maybe get another top 10 this year before we start pushing for playoffs Twenty years ago in the summer of 2001, we were signing Hasek, Robitaille, and Hull. In 2021, Nick Leddy is our BIG move. I think I'm going to cry.

LeftWinger 4,951 Report post Posted July 28, 2021 All these TSN guys saying Detroit and Buffalo are going to struggle don't realize that they are talking about: 2022 Vezina Winner - Alex Nedjelkovic 2022 Calder/Norris Winner - Mo Seider 2022 Ted Lindsay Winner - Jakub Vrana 2022 Hart/Selke/Byng/Messier Trophy Winner - Dylan Larkin 2022 Masterson Award Winner - Marc Staal 2022 Jack Adams Winner - Jeff Blashill 2022 Gregory Award Winner - Steve Yzerman ..so ya, here we come baby! What do these teams plan to do being so far over the cap? IMO, if you don't have the cap space TODAY, you cannot sign the player! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's probably half a dozen or so guys on the market that I would take over Koekkoek... He likes saying Koekkek.

That's less than he would've gotten from SY. NJ is not a cup contender either. 1 hour ago, BarkBurgerman said: I like Oesterle obviously as I've been shilling for him 2nd/3rd pair Dman. Michigan native. Left handed. Just turned 29. Plays the PP and the PK. I think he'll be a useful utility knife for us. A lot more useful than Merrill or Nemeth ever were. He's upgraded version of Stecher in my mind. Leddy - Hronek Staal - Seider Oesterle - Stecher I'm not sure where Lindstrom, Dekeyser, or Murphy fit into this equation. Lindstrom and Murphy probably GR. Dekeyser has some serious competition for his job this year. Bought time that guy had to fight for his job. Murphy signed a 2 way, so he can be sent down. I think DD might be the odd man out if SY signs another D. He protected Lindstrom in the expansion draft, so I dont see him putting Lindstrom on waivers to send him down to GR. Plus Lindstrom is several years younger, and RH. He probably takes Stechers spot on the 3rd pair full time next season.

Murphy has no waiver exemptions, he will be exposed if he gets sent down. 2-way is for salary only. 1-way contract means your salary is the same whether you are in the NHL or AHL. 2-way means your salary is lower in the AHL.

Yes. But you sign guys to 2 ways for the purpose of sending them down. If Murphy, Lindstrom, and DD all have to pass waivers, Murphy would be the first to go.
