Description

If we blew it all up, this would get us on the right track to be a competitive team again in like 3-4 years. Gotta figure out some of those D man contracts but this would be a good start. Don’t think we should move buch and parayko would be the D I want to move the least of the ones with big long term contracts but you need solid ground to start a rebuild and this gives it.

It’s high but it’s what it would take. He’s a better player than Meier and has 2 more years at 5.8. An easy cap to work with for a top pairing winger who can be on pp1 and pk1

Yeah not paying a first for Barb, rather do the Toronto trade and add prospects. No dice

Timo gets more goals, more hits, more blocks, more shots, better possession numbers.....what exactly does Buch do better? I agree he has a nice contract, but I thinks it is a stretch to say better than Timo.....who has also had far worse linemates to deal with.
