Yeah, I noticed that too.
No, there are other ways. Thowardmax just laid one out - at least that gets you in the neighborhood a little earlier.
Again, it depends on the asking price for Tkachuk and figuring out the cap puzzle. But yeah, you'd hate to see him end up in the division.
You know, I really didn't think about it that way, because I thought the Blues main emphasis was Perron/Leddy (and fr a while Husso). They didnt really have the money to be players on outside free agents. But I did wonder about Zadorov or Klingberg on defense.
That doesn't help in terms of the cap hit.
Yeah, Maybe a third party to take some of your cap dollars. But again, if you really think you're a contender you can't replace a productive player(s) for draft picks or prospects. You'd need, I think, something that can help the team this year - and that would take someone who will eat up cap dollars. So it's complicated.
He'll make the bold move only if he thinks it makes the club better. And he can make the cap dollars work. And those are two big ifs.
Don't think so. But their friendship can't hurt.
Roy, I grew up watching roller derby. A few years ago, when my oldest son was stationed at Ft. Sill, I watched a women's match in Lawton, Okla. Highly entertaining.
You still owe me $1 million from last year
Interesting. I suggested Tarasenko and Krug for Tkachuk on last week's NetFront Presence podcast. But I think the issue there is would Tarasenko waive his no-trade to go to Calgary?
55-45. I'd have it higher under those circumstances, but you still have to free up the money.
Schedule has yet to be set for Traverse City, although I think the dates are Sept. 15-19 If that's the case I may go up there for the first two games and then return. (My 50th high school reunio is Sept. 17 and I think I want to be there for that.) Obviously I'll be watching Bolduc, Neighbours - and if ihey're there, prospects such as Kessel,, Ellis, Dickinson. Snugguerud won't be there, because he'll be at the U of Minnesota by then getting ready for the college season.
Again, that's what I suggested on the NetFront last week. That way you get to keep Kyrou. But would Calgary be interested. I sense that Krug would be willing to waive his no-trade.
Not necessrily on Buchnevich. If what you say is correct, you still have Tarasenko, Krug, Barbashev as possibilitities. To name a few.
Ricardo with the hot take.
Vegas and Nashville are good atmospheres.The fan base in Winnipeg is great, but it's hard to get there from St. Louis. I love the trips to Vancouver, but it's a long trip. Chicago's not the atmospher it used to be, but easy to get to and rellatively easy to get tickets.
I get what you're saying. But Kyrou is getting better in that area. He still has a high ceiling - room to grow - in my opinion. And he brings much-needed speed to the lineup.If it were more of a straight up Kyrou and a little something extra for Tkachuk it would be more palatable. But some of the rumored deals involving Kyrou just seem to be asking too much.
Yeah, I don't see why they wouldn't. But couldn't tell you who they'll be at this point. I wonder also if they'll invite a couple of the free agents from the prospect camp to fill out the Traverse City roster.
