I feel like we have all agreed Ruhwedel is worth a fourth the same way we all agreed Mike Reilly is worth a third lol.

On that contract for 2 years a 3rd is fine

Personally I wouldn’t do that. A fourth makes sense to me. A 3rd is too rich imo. But if the isles need a Mayfield replacement and Hutton doesn’t get a real chance then I’d be interested in Ruhwedal.

3rd is too much. 4th is good

not sure the nucks would be interested in a small 32 year old d-man.IMHO.We are trying to up grade our D.need a top 4.

We don’t NEED to sign a winger. Heinen is very capable of playing the 3rd line

We need a 2nd line winger. Zucker will be broken by November as we all know

The plan is to see if Kapanen/ zucker/Heinen can fill the role themselves, and if they can’t we add at TDL

We will be adding then because as much as I like Heinen he belongs on the 3rd line. We need to be aggressive and go after Miller or Bertuzzi as the year moves on. We can also assume Zucker breaks down as per norm and that would be a good thing for the team

How would a solid player getting injured be a good thing

It gives us 5.5 million of cap space to trade for a better player

His recovery is going well. He has been playing in Da Beauty League
