Quoting: PLDGEY
Do you think the difference between Joseph and Kubalik is two 2nd round picks? What is Kubalik going to want on his next contract?
I like a few of those vet min options
Ignoring contracts, who is the better player? If you say Joseph, ok, keep him. But if it's Kubalik, then why trade him?
The cap space freed goes to Pinto. Not much room to do anything else. Let's say you trade Kuba because you didn't want to lose a 2nd, not because Joz is better. So you saved a 2nd and got another one for trading Kubalik. What are you doing with that? Can't trade them for a now player because there's no cap room. So are you gonna draft a player that may or may not turn into an NHL player in 4/5 years? How does that help us make the playoffs this year?
The argument of we don't need a scoring winger because we just signed one only makes sense if they are on the same line. Bottom 6 needs more scoring. If kubalik plays there, it helps us. Yes, Joz has value beyond scoring, but for 3m, he needs a hell of a bounce back.
The Hamonic signing was necessary. We need depth. Injuries happen. Hamonic is a good 7D, you know what you're getting. I rather have him than Lassi, as who knows what Lassi is right now. Hammer is good on the PK, blocks shots, and heck, had 3x more goals that Brannstrom, while not being an offensive defenseman. And we need to carry a spare D, while our top prospects develop in the AHL.
