Good read and changes things up a bit (I like it). I especially like the Hannifin/ Andersson pairing. I really think we will start seeing positive improvement from Hannifin pared with Andersson.

Something has to change with our lines. Hopefully one or all our proposals will be given a shot. Gaudreau is one of the more exciting players to watch in the league and he is slowly being stifled.

That setup could very well work. I would like to try Tkachuk-Monahan-Lindholm Gaudreau-Bennett-Mangiapane Nordstrom-Backlund-Ryan Lucic-Gawdin-Dube

I'll only be able to say "Damn Brodie What were you thinking" twice a year now.

Wow didn't see that aav coming. Kudos to BT and Mangi. Leaves us with some spare change to shop!! "Perry"?

And we pay for it HOW?

It could set "as you say" a bad precedent; but less so than what I believed Vegas did on the expansion draft taking draft picks to select or not select certain players.

In the thought about acquiring Hoffman. If Ottawa signed Hoffman for a 1 year 6m contract. and then traded Hoffman 50% RS to Calgary for Ryan and draft picks ie. (2021 2nd and 3rd) This is 1 way that we could get Hoffman but is Ottawa willing to spend 3 m for 2 picks and is Hoffman willing to take 6m for 1 year?

Proposal: CGY - Ryan + 2020 2nd and 2020 3rd For VGK - Tuch Makes VGK cap compliant + 1.5m and gives them their needed 3rd line center Normally this would not fly but times are rough on over cap teams

I wonder about a minor deal for Stockton to shore up our rw. To TOR 3rd or 4th to CGY https://www.capfriendly.com/players/joey-anderson

Unfortunately TBL would not be able to match a 4.1m QO for anyone right now. Mind you Cernak would have to agree to the 4.1m. Get 3 gms to offer 4.1 m for Cernak, Cirelli, Segachev. TBL would lose 2 of them or have to trade 2 away. It's dirty pool but TBL played dirty last expansion draft.

I agree with an earlier post Now is the time to put a offer sheet on Cernak 4.1m cost us a 2nd rounder. It is mean but TBL dug their own grave.

His contract has to be worth 1 or 2 mill more not having Harmonic come back.

Ya looking deeper Bos lost krug and have the need and cap space. I am sure Petro would be thrilled to end up in BOS. He could take over the C and replace those 6'7" shoes.

So with STL and TOR out of the Pietrangelo sweepstakes who is left that could afford him?
