😆😆😆 the rest of the league has money and these players are going to want to be paid – congratulations you're the St Louis Blues
I don't think OEL can fully replace Montour. Need a younger player for that. And a better 4th line player than Gadjovich.
I wish we could keep Stolarz, but he’s an UFA. Lots of teams will be calling his agent to sign him this offseason.
I will be surprised if the Panthers only lose Montor and Stolarz. I quit watching the Blues because their team imploded after they won the cup and 90% of the championship roster was gone in 1-2 years.
Jaws did you see the report that Spencer Knight has just spent a year in the player assistance program for mental health?
I think we keep Kulikov. I don’t think we bring up both Balinskis and Bigfoot
Don’t forget we also have Fernandez he’s playing hard
It's extremely important to remember that Montour is a right handed defenseman. OEL is good but he shoots left. Having a guy who has better control of the puck along the right boards, who can jump to the left on the power play is invaluable
Free agency this year isn’t that scary next year is a bit different tho
Reinhardt at 7.5mil. Lundell at 4 mil. Monty is gone. Lomberg def coming back. Kulikov I think will be back. I think Tarasenko’s home next to the arena might push him to come back for a very cap/team friendly deal.
Well this sure will be interesting but the Swaggy deal is looking like 6 X 8 or 8.5 and Bill Zito is looking to TRADE Ekblad to try and open up cap space. Looks like Monty is staying and Ekblad is possibly out
I am really excited to see what Zito can do this offseason. I wonder if Montour would take a "Forsling-esque" discount? I agree in allowing Samo and/or Sourdif a chance to make the roster. Samo was leading scorer on Charlotte in AHL.
We cannot forget Zito's ability to find guys on the waiver wirer or other teams' scrap heaps.
Get rid of knight and ekblad
We can now continue complaining about Ekblad
Love that lineup, I REALLY want to see Bjornfot play, the last several games he played he looked like Forsling with quick skating and solid defense. Also excited for Samokevich!
31 GMs voted Hellebuck for Vezina. 1 voted for Bob. Zito is taking a ton of heat right now and being accused of it lol.
Ekblad is on the trade block. If Zito can move that contract we'll be in great shape for the next few years.
Update looks like Swaggy is resigning as an RFA. Mild rumor Ekblad being shopped 😢…just a rumor at this point.
Ekblad is being shopped and Verhaghe planing to sign 6/8.5 AAV
Let’s go for mcdavid
Lundell with 2.5 mil deal….no way Eric Jose! Zito gotta give him at least 3.5-4 mil deal to show him some respect that he deserves after the PO.
I still think like Sam R is not part of the team next season.
OEL is also one that Florida Panthers don´t vitally need. He makes too many mistakes. But if he is ready to stay in Florida with low cost. Low cost for Florida and big cost for his old team…then it is ok.
Montour is still the one to keep! Zito is out of his mind if he let´s Montour to go.
breaking news – vt just bought a new 5m house in fort lauderdale blocks away from you know where 😉 he's staying put…
I say keep all the guys who helped us win the cup including Montour and Tarasenko if possible.
Move on from Spencer Knight. We could use Stolarz after Bob
So now you finally agree that spencer knight will stay.😊
I would let Monty walk and trade ekblad.. sign Matt roy and zadorov
We need tarasenko
Personally, I'm about done w Reino. They've been trying to get that deal done for months, and either he or his agent are getting greedy. If you take the lion's share, you end up with 3rd rate players at the bottom of the roster. Someone else will come in to take Reino's place (like Guentzel) who will take less $ and wants to play for a winner, but if you let him go, everybody else gets signed. C'mon 8 mil a year, and you want 12? Well, you can go elsewhere. And you might end up being the next Huberdeau without Barky and the others feeding you the puck.
Yea blow up the best D core we have had in years, the reason we won cup, tbh, just to keep sam Reinhart, dude didnt do dick before he was playing with Barky, personally, i think joe biden scores 40 playing with Barky😂😂😂😂
Everything is kinda blurred in the haze of a championship victory. The mind sort of looks at things like "How can we repeat??"… but… what are the chances that we repeat? Statistically, it's very unlikely, right? So if we don't repeat, that means a re-tooling in the coming years. If we're going to re-tool, I'd rather base it off of a platinum-level defense, than a platinum-level offense. It's basically what we did over the last two seasons. Run and gun, high powered, rush-style scoring couldn't land us the Cup. So we focused on defense and shut-down gamesmanship and won it all. I love Reino but if we don't repeat, then Id have wanted to keep our d-core over Reino.
