What the actual f***?

Sustr?


Did we have to fill out the Crunch lineup with all the Florida guys leaving?

Dumont was money in the faceoff circle before they changed the rules.

Yeah, I think is purely a fill out the Crunch list of signings. But I wonder with Sustr being RHD if we are not expecting Thomas or Witkowski back.

Wouldn’t surprise me since we also brought back Bogo on a 3 year deal.

Just realized Raddysh is also RHD. Maybe losing them both.

Now that I have calmed down from reading Sustr is a Bolt again, I love the deal for Bogo. Our depth RHD is solid for the next 3 years.

I am sure we do get done within a week, if not today, but I imagine both sides want the best deal possible as it'll tie us together for the next 9 years.

On a side note, I see a real log jam of forwards forming in upstate NY. I am not really sure how it's going to play out, but that team is going to be deep with AHL talent.

Interesting move. Complicates the cap picture a bit more though.

I would've preferred we spend a little bit more to get a 3C. tbh I don't think it was that necessary because Stephens (even though he is not as good) is much younger and cheaper. I was kinda hoping we'd get Pius Suter. that dream is basically dead now

What if Stammer goes back to the middle and they roll like 1 2A 2B 4 lines

Palat Point Kuch
Killer Cirelli ABB/Colton
Joseph Stammer ABB/Colton
Maroon Stephens Bellemare
Raddysh Somppi Katchouk

That wouldn't be terrible, but I don't know if stamkos can really play center anymore. He's good on draws, but actually playing center?

Have Stamkos take the draws. but slide Colton over to center and Stamkos to wing after faceoffs?

JBB would offer Connor McDavid 8 years at 9.5

Following the Point extension we have 10.275M for next offseason and only 13 players signed. It's a good thing that we got the biggest part out of the way a year early, but it doesn't look like the cap trouble is going away anytime soon. Hopefully our young RFA's take small, multi-year contracts. Palat probably gone.

I like this signing for the Crunch. Elie was on Rochester (1 of 3 teams Syracuse was able to play last year) and he was a pain in the arse more often than not from what I remember.
But even more so, where is Syracuse going to put all of these forwards?

That’s my question as well. It seems that with a mix of our young guys and free agents, we have too many forwards. Do we have the option to just send some of them to Orlando when that time comes?

Absolutely. Goalie-wise BriseBois noted Alnefelt and Legace will be with Syracuse and Miftakhov with Orlando. Forwards though will probably see Cajkovic in Orlando for sure. I'll have have to see what the full situation looks like, but I think there may be more.
