And maybe Bishop if he's healthy?


Yeah they’re making the playoffs for sure

There are realistically few teams who can take him and protect him (Colorado, Vegas, Edmonton, Buffalo, and Detroit). I don't see Buffalo or Detroit as they are rebuilding so why spend the assets to get him. Colorado I feel will go with Grubauer in the end. Vegas has to wait for MAF to be moved before they can add his 4.5mill in and do they want to do that. Edmonton could work but with the news of Smith and Hollands connections to Mrazek don't see it happening. So realistically I think they don't move him and just let Seattle have him


One reporter said there's a lot of Buzz in Arizona right now.. im guessing OEL, Kessel, and Kuemper could be moved

They'd be deadly with Reinhart in the near future.

Sign Miro to a good deal. Or just do something in the positive side of things because:

1. Oleksiak talks aren't going anywhere, if anything they aren't going good because a lot of teams are interested in him
2. The Bishop thing is very confusing, and it gives the possibility of Oettinger going to the AHL (if he does he'll basically carry them to the cup winning pretty much all of the awards possible) which sucks because he's our best goalie

I forgot about oleksiak. Even if they don’t sign him there are plenty of solid LHD in free agency. I think the they should sign Blake Coleman, he’s a fringe 1st liner and he fits the stars identity. With Robertson and hintz breaking out, stars need one of borque, dell Andrea, Damiani to hit and they should be contenders for at least the next few years

The Kings are really going for that 3rd spot in the pacific. After the Knights and the Oilers there's pretty much no competition, and the two wildcard spots will most likely go to the central.

I think we could see LA “help”’ Tampa move on from Palat. Buy low on him with the cap circumstances and pay maybe a 2nd or something less potentially. Palat brings a winning mentality to a team mixed with a few cup winners and young guys/ rookies.

The problem with that is that there's literally no free agents rumored to go to Dallas that I know of except Coleman, but he's rumored to go everywhere in the league. If we get Coleman and theoretically Dickinson doesn't get picked, we're basically stuck with none of these guys breaking the roster because the last roster spot is going to Comeau (which there's no way in hell Bones will play his darling in the AHL over rookies). At this point best case scenario Dickinson gets picked and we get to give that one spot to probably Dellandrea because he's the most ready. Bourque needs one more season in the AHL before making the big leagues, and I do think he has a legit shot of doing what JRob did this season behind Hintz as our number two centre with Seguin on his wing if he struggles at centre. Damiani and Mascherin are gems in the dust, just need to prove themselves.

McCann, Dunn, domi , voracek, eberle. Seattle is going to have a solid team.


I’ll believe Eberle won’t be protected when I see it

Sign Jake McCabe to a 1 year deal. Sell him on playing with heiskanen. He’s better than oleksiak.

That would be my ideal because we need a short term d-man so we can play Harley in the top 4 sooner rather than later.

Columbus blunder 2.0


Not really. This move definitely means Domi is not re-signing in CBJ, so it’s essentially whether Columbus would rather have Dean Kukan/Kevin Stenlund, or 3 months of Domi. (Since he’s injured until December)

Well if he becomes a star in Seattle it won’t look too good even if they were going to lose him for nothing.

I guess, but Seattle’s only going to have him for 3 months before he needs a contract there too.

We’re talking about a Ken Holland here. His brain rivals that of a Jim Benning, Jim Rutherford, Paul Fenton maybe even Peter Chia…. That’s too far. You get the point tho
