Rob_Ottawa Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Some really great names available. Price, subban pelat duchense. That's really not a bad starting point for a new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the league wants the team competitive from the start so the fans jump on but they really need a better balance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico, Jack, Ty and Mack are 4 players infinitely more valuable than anyone they get via the expansion draft. theyll be relatively competitive off the rip but, unless teams are stupid the way they were with vegas, it’s unlikely to be sustained success. More valuable yes. Better this year than what Seattle has? Let’s see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Vegas proved you don't need a ton of elite talent to be successful, just good chemistry and motivation. It's not Deryk Engelland and Jon Merrill were top flight talent. The past 24 years of Rangers rosters prove this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More valuable down the road - maybe but yet to be proven, there's some proven studs out there to be had should Seattle choose them. Again all about the elusive window and how long do you want to give yourself to get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again all about the elusive window and how long do you want to give yourself to get to it. Very true. All I said was they would come in with a better roster. They could have a $10m goalie, two Norris winners, Landeskog, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Apparently Larsson and the Oilers are less likely to get a deal done than previously thought(according to Frank Seravalli): https://oilersnation.com/2021/07/18/report-its-rather-unlikely-edmonton-oilers-re-sign-adam-larsson-but-a-real-chance-tyson-barrie-returns/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck the Duck Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Since we likely won't be getting Hamilton absent a massive overpay, I'm on board with having Larsson as a plan b in FA. He's a right hand D and is solid defensively. Pair him with a Ty Smith, and it gives us 2 solid pairs with Graves-Severson, Smith-Larsson, and a 3rd pairing of Siegenthaler-Subban (assuming he isn't claimed by Seattle). That D isn't going to win a Cup, but it should be much improved over last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, if Fitz could somehow pull off an offseason of Hamilton-Coleman-Larsson...I'd be extremely fvcking impressed. That's a legit spending spree for three guys who aren't old and should be able to help for a while. You have this much cap room, you can do stuff like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
