Florida doesn't consider that

You have 2 potential superstar young offensively gifted defense already, why would you ever want Klingberg?

Kind of the Campbell to the kieth and seabrook, similiar to a 09 hawks type move. 40 million not getting waived to Buffalo, I know

I disagree with that line of thinking, get someone steady on the blueline not a 1 dimensional PP specialist.

Is there a ufa, that makes sense, that kind of goes along that premise, possibly shorter term and less money? What about the gudbranson thought, or tending move for next year? Obviously Florida and 40 million not a option

As a Flames fan I would not suggest Gudbranson for a top 6 role, he is also probably going to want term too. I see him resigning in Calgary personally.

Some options I see are DeHaan, Rutta, Braun, Nutivaara, Schultz, Manson, Stecher, resign Miller. Letang too but I wouldn't count on it. You could also take on a player from a team trying to move cap like Martinez, Holl, Dumba, Petry, etc

Appreciate it, love the passion and fire people show for there squads on here, and also gains some insight and knowledge. 3 weeks away from a hockey draft, 10 players and 1 round of guys not taken in first 10 rounds. Thinking Florida/Minnesota if I can get away with it, or possibly flames/rangers depending on where my picks falls. Flames/preds should be relatively high scoring series and flames/. Oilers/kings probably one of the highest scoring series in the playoffs. So starting to lean flames/rangers for my 10 picks. Any advice or a series that may be the highest scoring series of the playoffs?

Good call and probably next one also, was thinking of gambling and loading up on leafs, loser hosts though and that would complete my disdain for leafs lol. My only problem is they probably run into Florida and they maybe have a cup run In them. If it ends wash Florida that could beat the original theory on Calgary side being the highest scoring route.

Buffalo shouldn't be out spending large on high-end players / expensive free agents. They should aim to get 3 more 1st round picks in the 2023 draft, including a top-10 pick, and THEN go for it. 2023 is a fantastic draft, it could set this team up for the next 15 years.

Good call, perfect time with so many elcs to bargain hunt and possibly mix in a few vets that might be able to go forward with also on reasonable contracts.

I like Gudbranson ever since I saw him give Tom Wolson all he could handle - are you saying he's not a good candidate for a third pair RD? I'm looking for a little physicality but not just a goon 3-3.5mil for 3-4 years , I don't see him that often so all I got is advanced stats and YT - you have a brief scouting report?
