Description

- Hearing that Sutter has fatigue - not good, could be a year long issue.
- Hearing that Hamonic might not be vaccinated - needs to be put LTIR then
- Hearing that Motte might be a month or two

So where does that leave us?

Don't worry about Hughes and Petey signings, just a pure guess here.

Now the question here is - With the $3.5M-ish of cap space you will have on a 23 man roster, do you try to ($2.8M + dropping a player), do you try to make a move in preseason or early in the year to beef up your D-core?

Sign Demers or Vatanen? Maybe bring back Hutton?
They'd all be pretty cheap at this point, league minimum to a million tops.

Let Rathbone, Joulevi, Schenn, and Hunt share time for the bottom two spots. At trade deadline get someone like Stecher, Manson, or Miller. Also that's too much for Chiasson. Highmore is a great player, and Lockwood can play too. Also don't write off Dowling

Hamonic not being vaccinated just means that he can't go across the border...Josh Archibald in Edmonton is the same. Will miss 30-32 games in the states (can't remember the exact amount). Can't imagine the union or league would allow them to just make the contract vanish. Could be wrong though!

Quoting: Lenny7

Getting vaccinated could be a clause in the contract, which if violated could allow VAN to terminate the contract completely

Manson would be my main target if this was to happen. All just rumors for now though.

Also hearing that Motte is skating at training camp so shouldn't be too far off joining the team.

CEO liked this.
