Why would you sign Elliott, you could get him for less.

Not interested in Stralman, would rather use that money to re-sign Dunn and give Reinke some action.

Agreed, Niko Mikkola also a sleeper for a roster spot next season. He’s been awesome at World’s and could be a solid partner for Parayko.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the input. I just wondered if they needed someone stronger at the 3RD, but if you'd rather give the younger guys time I agree with that.

I just figured that Binnington isn't proven enough (in terms of time) to justify leaving him a lone. Elliot has been a solid starter when healthy, so he seemed like a cheap option. Maybe a better actual fringe goalie is more fitting?

If we were to add to the defense, I’d want a puck-mover on the left side like Jake Gardiner. Otherwise, Bortuzzo is the perfect 3rd pair guy as the younger players come up.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Gardiner might be a bit much in contract tho, i'd have to make a small trade or something, and gotta save some room for next season.

Fabbri been hurt and i dont know dont think he returns unless he takes league min.
also id take a hard pass on Elliott, just going to the past for memories there, not worth it.

@brenfox31 -- You are on the right track as far as I'm concerned. On the few rosters I put together I also had Elliott for 2/2.0 -- that's a totally reasonable deal if you are trading Allen and just makes a ton of sense. It's not nostalgia, just a cheap contract for a guy that can bridge the gap until the next set of goaltenders is ready for the big show.

Not every FA signing has to be flashy. I'm totally fine with Stralman, but I wonder if the Blues don't just pull Gunnarsson back for 1-2 years and $1MM less AAV. It seems like the people on this forum have forgotten how important depth is -- did we not use Gunnarsson, Bortuzzo, and even MDZ a fair bit this last year? We need at least 7 defensemen we can count on for the coming year, ideally 8...maybe Reinke is one of those, but dude has played in 1 NHL game two seasons ago. Let's pump the brakes. Pietrangelo, Dunn, JBo, Parayko, Edmundson, Bortuzzo, Stralman/Gunnarsson, and probably Reinke as the last guy in.

Personally I'd only go 1 year on Fabbri. Your number looks right. I don't think the guy above saying Fabbri doesn't return unless he takes "league min" realizes his minimum QO is $971,250 -- call it $1MM. You are giving him an extra year and another $250k. I think Fabs would take $1.25 for one year but I doubt he'd bite on that for two -- probably would need to bump to $1.5MM. If you don't want to pay Fabbri $1MM then fine, trade his rights (though I think that's awfully silly, might as well kick the tires for that price).
