Thread: Calgary Flames signed Josh Leivo (1 Year / $875,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>We allowed Calgary to overpay Markstrom and Tanev. Stecher is overrated and is nothing more than a #6 guy.

Schmidt is a much better defenseman vs. Tanev - solves the most urgent need from last year of being desperate for a true top pair defenseman. The Holtby - Markstrom gap should close a bit next year.

Losing leivo at this cap is rough, but then again he hardly played, and likely wont be as impactful as the pre-injured version of himself. Toffoli did nothing for the success of the team last year.

VAN is fine. The stinging of overpaying depth a few years ago still exists, but its evident we have learned from mistakes and moved on.

I view him not overspending on anyone a massive W. I'm very glad the team went with a conservative route this offseason and I really doubt they will be any worse next year.</div></div>

Funny how canuck fans wanted all those guys re signed but once they go elsewhere they're washed and on bad contracts. Tanev at 4.5 looks amazing to Myers 6 , and Markstrom is above Holtby with a decent gap

Thread: Nesterov is back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lunatik</b></div><div>I'm optimistic about this lineup; especially the blueline. Kylington, Mackey and Petrovic could all win that spot from Nesterov. Up front I'm banking on some development from Mangi and Dube, as well as some bounce back from the top line. My only real concern is the PK, we need 6-7 regular forwards (in part because Backlund takes far too many penalties) and we really only have 4 in Lindholm, Backlund, Ryan and Nordstrom. This is why I wanted us to sign Melker Karlsson, he would be great on the 4th line as the #5 PKer that slides up. Who else do we see on the PK? Bennett and Dube saw a small amount in the playoffs. Simon has seen a small amount. Mangiapane has seen a small amount. When Peters was hired, it was suggested Tkachuk could be tried on the PK but that never came to fruition.</div></div> I think Simon penalty kills, and dube or mange can in a pinch too
