iamtheprodigy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Just spitballing here: Henrique-Loktionov-Kovalchuk Elias-Zajac-Ryder Clowe-Josefson-Zubrus Carter-Gionta-Bernier/Olesz Or maybe something like: Kovy-Lokti-Clowe Elias-Zajac-Ryder Henrique-Josefson-Zubrus CBGB/Olesz However you put it together, pretty solid 4 lines, if you ask me.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 . Definitely. I like our lineup. We're better than when we got up this morning. It feels like an "if" team with a good upside. If it all works out, I can see it taking a while to jell, figuring out who can play with who, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 The more I look at this move the more I like it. 35 goals in 2011/12, on pace for ~28 this year... 3.5M per year short-term taking him to 35 y.o. What's not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onddeck Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 This is a solid role player addition, good signing. Now we have a nice sniper on top two lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 You've got guys like Elias, Zubrus, Zajac, and even Loktionov to do the heavy lifting for the scoring players. Ryder signed for less than Briere and is probably a better fit and a better player. Great signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWW Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Absolutely nothing wrong with this trade. Only two years and pretty cheap given what he can do. I hope he plays on a line with Elias and could see him putting up close to 30 goals if he does. Seems like it'd be a perfect match. The only question I have is does Uncle Lou let him wear #73?

Neb00rs Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Am I missing something or is this a fantastic deal? He is 33, but he put up 35 goals two years ago and scored 21 points in 27 games for the Habs last season. I was sure that he would get more money and more years than this. A great deal. And it's 35 points in 46 games last year in a weird year with two different teams - that's a pretty consistent half season. He also had about a .158 shooting percentage and 8 of his 16 goals came on the PP. He has scored 50+ points 5 times in 9 seasons (60+ twice).

'7' Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ryder is a little older than I thought he was (turning 34 in March 2014) So two years is perfect, but I'm shocked nobody coughed up that 3rd year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheprodigy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Don't forget Tedenby is on a one way contract next season as well. I didn't forget him, I just don't see where he would fit given the players we now have. A one-way contract doesn't guarantee that he will be in the NHL. Of course, there is still plenty of off-season, and maybe there will be trades or something that will change things still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squishyx Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 so much for all the predictions that "we won't be a cap team". $4m in space and still 2 RFA's to lock up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
