Description

Is this defense not better than it is now?

Added Hamonic, Koekkoek and Hutton to realistic deals and signed Bowey who's from Winnipeg for the taxi squad, can't see these guys finding much better deals at this point.

Leave Heinola in Finland, big minutes over there and sliding his ELC are best for all involved, Samberg plays in the AHL this season which is where he should start his pro career, no need to rush either of these guys.

Roslovic signs a two year bridge deal, the 2015 line is reunited with Roslo at center to be the offensive 3rd line this team has needed for years, Perreault swaps in for Appleton or Harkins if either isn't producing.

Is this defense not better then it is right now, I get that it isn't high end but it's gotta be at least average and has some NHL quality depth should injuries occur.

Am I crazy to think Chevy should sign all of these dmen I signed here? These guys just cost money not precious 5th round draft picks that Chevy is loath to part with... 😃

All opinions welcome but let's keep them constructive, thanks and Merry Christmas to all!

*Credit to whoever posted this idea first, think it was an Isles fan, I'm just expanding on it a bit.

That's a lot of internal competition for the bottom pairing spots

I know but why not, I think for me it's having bottom pairing guys that can at least move up if an injury happens, Hamonic may not be the player he once was but I think I'd trust him in the top 4 more then I would Poolman.

Forget Koekkoek... Beaulieu is better...Hutton had a decent year last year playing 2LD on a crappy team...I wouldn't mind him

As for Heinola, I would wait until after the WJC. If he plays well, I can see him staying

Sorry Jetman I forgot to @ you, Merry Christmas!

Hawks fans have given pretty good reviews of Koekkoek and he's a former 1st round pick of TB so I figure why not, I'm a believer in taking flyers on guys with pedigree, I like Beaulieu though, he has been pretty solid for the Jets.
