Description

Purely hypothetical, but it would be fantastic if bergy decided to go all in for once.

I think this team could make some serious upsets in the playoffs. The depth plus hopefully a good Pricey will be scary

That is waaaaaayyyyy too much for Ekholm that is basically 2 1sts + 2 roster players (albeit depth players) + 3rd no thanks not at that price.

Poehling >>>>>>>>>>>> Lemieux

See....I don't know anymore. With Poehling, you had potentially an O'Reilly type player where he can score and be responsible defensively. I just don't think he has an NHL level of professionalism yet.

Lemieux is a great player, sort of like a Chiarot type guy. Those guys really help playoff teams, and I think Lemieux would do well in a shutdown role here.

Fair point, but keep in mind the 50% retained salary on Ekholm to make cap work, and Byron basically being a cap dump. Add on the fact that we may have to convince Poile to sell and we have value shot through the roof.
