There has to be NHL talent added this offseason. Expecting Kulich and Rosen especially to be able to produce at the NHL level next season is a recipe for failure. Its not like they've proven to be too good for the AHL or anything. I think Savoie is most NHL ready bcz of his speed

I agree we probably don’t do a whole lot
But there’s ZERO CHANCE we give away Jokiharju like that
That trade is horrendous

They need to make some legit moves this offseason to bring in some vets and improve the depth, they have to at least make the playoffs next season, its beyond ridiculous at this point.

Adding a 4th liner, a #6/7 dman and counting on one or two of the kids to make it ISNT GOOD ENOUGH!

Adams (our GM) doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to make big moves
We’re still the youngest team in the League, and we’ll be even younger next year

Most of our fans would like to see big moves
But we might not be there yet

I don't know how much more waiting Kulich can do? He scored 24 last season + 7 in the Playoffs (31), and he's on pace again, he scored his 21st today. I think he's earned a shot.

OK, but who are you moving out of the top 9, to get THIS veteran player? Skinner? GL w/ that.

Hes nowhere near a ppg and really struggles defensively. I think he'll be a nice player but they shouldn't be counting on Kulich, Savoie, Rosen or Ostlund to be able to play and contribute in the NHL next season. Savoie most ready though imo and most likely to make team out of camp.

Someone of Sammy, Joki or Clifton, has to go, Joki is the easiest to move.

None of them “have” to go
The way our defensemen get hurt, it’s probably a good idea to carry 7 good ones
