IMO, With 9mill in cap yall should get a goalie. If Lehner doesn't resign could be an option.... same with Markstrom

Filip Larsson in GR seems to be making his way to being the future starter in about 2-3 years. Id just wait it out with this duo for another year since the team will still be bad with good goalie or not. once their contracts expire, go with Larsson as backup for his first year and find a fringe starter as a placeholder until Larsson takes over the job. Dont see the need to spend the money now when I have 4 guys on entry level contracts who expire at the end of the year

Nah this duo sucks, Howard is too old. We need to resign a UFA bridge goalie to get us to Larsson. Markstrom, Greiss, or Lehner are all options

Why is everybody going way low on Bertuzzi? Guys he has 20 points in 21 games, he's on a tear. No way does Athanasiou get more than he does, especially a million more. If Bertuzzi keeps this pace all year, we are looking closer to the 6 x 7 range, somewhere in there. Also Krug is not signing with us unless the offer is 9 x 7, closer to that range. If it's that high, I would rather just not sign him, but if somehow he does hit the open market, that is the asking price. Krug is on pace for 60 points, a career high. Trouba hit the market last year and got 8 x 7 with a career high 50 points, almost double his 2nd best season at 33. Krug is a proven 50 point defensemen who can run the top powerplay and log big minutes. He's getting more than Trouba

bertuzzi is a great player, but i don't think he's in the range of 6 million. until we see him on a different line away from Larkin, its hard to judge where he really his. That line works so well but i think theyd do just as well without him on the line. I could see him breaking into 5 mil. Hes just not a driver like Larkin or Mantha
