Description

Just using Brooks number on Hamilton

Pure guess on Tarasenko. Im sure St Louis fans want more & NJ less. Any possibility his NTC is a problem?

Linus, gotta have a guy named Linus on your team. Suspect he wants to be a 1, but in NJ he'd be a 1B. Feels unlikely he comes to NJ, but they need another seasoned GK next to Blackwood. If not Linus, someone else, who knows? I think he'd be a great fit, even with his injury history. Contract is a bit risky given injuries, but Buffalo will offer more imo. Its mid level starter / 1B money.

I put Johnsson at 2LW, maybe Jack & Tarasenko revive him. It would be a short leash, but worth a try imo.

Tried to keep the propects in AHL for more seasoning (exception Clarke, at least one kid will make it, choose your favorite for that third line, mine is Clarke winning the preseason battle). Think the lineup still looks competitive. Save for injuries & lack of development from young veterans, hoping for a big step forward from this team.

There's no issue with his NTC because his agent has told Armstrong that he is willing to go anywhere

Don't know anything about Tarasenko outside of pure Hockey skills ... any thoughts if he would prefer playing on an established veteran laden team, like NYI or an up and coming team (hopefully) like NJ. Both offers an exciting near term future, just different way of getting there. Is he along for the ride? Or likes to lead and teach (Sharangovich - among many other Russians - on the ice & in the pipe line for NJ)

That Tarasenko offer is flat delusional, as is the notion that anyone could think they could pay less for him.

Beats me ... as I mentioned in my comments... not clear on what the two GMs value him at given injuries & trade demand (even if he is supposedly healthy)
