DH26 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'd love Gagner too but his price will be higher than Horcoff's. He's 10 years younger and better. It would take a lot more than Tallinder and a pick. Merrill would almost certainly have to go back for him along w/ an NHL defenseman, probably Fayne. His return being less than Horcoff's would be beyond asinine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoArmySports Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So realistically what do our lines look like right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Per Tony Marinaro Habs want Coburn and Talbot. If they offer Blunden, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren might just go for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgb6397 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So realistically what do our lines look like right now?All these moves have me going full chub and I can't help but think about them. I like to see- Clowe-Zajac-Kovalchuk Henrique-Elias-Zubrus Ryder(possibly)-JJ-Matteau? then a fourth of CBGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njd3b1ink Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I don't think Olesz makes our roster. Don't see a spot for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I don't think Olesz makes our roster. Don't see a spot for him. Then who is taking Poni's spot? I seriously doubt Matteau is up here next season. Guarantee Olesz just jumped over everyone on the non-roster depth chart. Oops, I just realize I forgot Henrique exists. I still think Olesz could bump Gio too though. 1st rd reclamation project. If we can make good on it, like we did with Bernier, I'd be ecstatic. So lines maybe more like this: Clowe-Loki-Kovy Elias-Zajac-XXX Henrique-JJ-Zubrus CBGB If we don't sign another FA, I wouldn't be surprised to see Zubrus on that 2nd line and Olesz picking up a spot in the bottom 6, whether it be via Bernier moving up a spot or Olesz leapfrogging someone. We'll see once camp rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 now if we'd sign Ryder... where do we even put him ? i could see lou packaging like... Tallinder + JJ + Urbom + pick if we have to and get E.Kane or something..... drooooll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallinder + JJ + Urbom + pick if we have to and get E.Kane or something..... drooooll Probably with Elias. Elias is the shiftiest passer, Ryder would probably be one of our best shots, right under Kovy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Clowe - Loktionov - Kovalchuk Elias - Zajac - Ryder / Brunner Henrique - Josefson - Zubrus Olesz - Carter - Bernier Tedenby this would be a solid team i think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wensink Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Here is what I think they will be with no new changes ( not what I'd like) Henrique - Loktionov - Kovalchuk Elias - Zajac - Clowe Olesz - Josefson - Zubrus Carter - Gio - Bernier Teddy-Barch I think a trade is due over the summer to change this up.

John Wensink Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Henrique isn't getting in our top 6 over Zubrus I don't think. I figured that cause Henrique has played with both Loki and Kovy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I figured that cause Henrique has played with both Loki and Kovy Clowe is also a LW, so he'll likely be in the spot you put Henrique. And Zubrus will be 2nd line RW. Henrique playing LW on the 3rd. Didn't pay for Clowe so he could play in the bottom 6. I mean, Henrique might take Zubrus' spot away from him, but that would take a real good year from Henrique, maybe even 2 good years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck27 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ryder or no Ryder, looking at our forward core makes me believe this season is going to come down to the performance of JJ, Zajac, Loki, and Henrique. We know what we'll get out of the vets and the fourth line. If the "kids" don't step up, we're screwed either way (it's also a shame Zajac is lumped in there, but I just don't know what to expect out of him anymore).

Devilsfan118 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Pretty satisfied today so far. However.. Offensively, this team is pretty much in the same exact place it was last year. We'll call losing Clarktard and bringing in Clowe a wash, so besides that, same offensive group as last year. I hope a trade is made or something.

NewarkDevil5 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I would like to see a lineup of this sort attempted: Elias - Zajac - Henrique Kovalchuk - Loktionov - Olesz Zubrus - Josefson - Clowe CBGB I know it's putting a lot of pressure on two young unproven guys playing with Kovalchuk, but at the same time, based on the scouting reports I'm seeing on Olesz, it seems to me that it could work.

maxpower Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Does anyone know how much cap space we have left? $7.3M - Henrique and Josefson. Probably around $4-4.5M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way in hell Olesz gets gifted a top 6 spot. With Kovy no less. While Clowe and Zubrus are on the 3rd line for WAY bigger money. Absolutely ridiculous.
