Thread: Thinking outside the box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>I could definitely see Van doing that trade if they find a way to clear cap first but as it stands they can’t afford desmith</div></div>
They aren't that far off, counting Mikheyev's cap you're just 271k shy after Martin goes through waivers. With 8 defenders maybe they send one down in the minors and start the season with a 22 man roster and 500k of cap space that's accruing everyday?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBA</b></div><div>I personally would rather have Primeau than Driedger to mentor Dobes
Cayden has always been good for the Rocket, yes he struggles at the NHL level, but he is an important piece for Laval if they wanna make the playoffs
Armia other year hurt his value too much IMO for Seattle to consider</div></div>
I wouldn't mind Primeau but if he's the only player we can give away to completely clear Armia's contract with no retention .... It's a tough spot to be. Dobes would be in good hands with any of the two considering Driedger's journeyman career through the league. The team clearly lost faith in the fact that he's our next goalie in Montreal when they drafted 3 new ones so his value with the team might be to all time low.

Thread: Season opener line up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>RHP cant keep his insane shooting%. He's a bottom 6 energy guy.

Newhook should take his place, has both Dach and him are bad at faceoffs. At least, if you put two 40% centers togheter, the 1st can cheat a little and the 2nd can cover for him if he get chased from the dots.

Dvo is the best faceoffs guy on the team and a perfect reponsable 3C.

Finnally, giving less TOI to Gally makes sense. Giving him under 10 minutes on a 4th line doesnt.</div></div>
-RHP likely can't keep it up but he showed enough good stuff to warrant a shot at big minutes.
-Problem with Newhook is that Colorado traded him away because he wasn't meeting expectations as a top 6 guy so putting him as a top 6 guy from game 1 will just result in more of the same. Plugging him as a 3C to begin the journey will help him gain confidence and I don't think we traded a 1st and a high 2nd not to even try him at center.
-Gally gets 10-11 on a fourth plus PK time and maybe some PP2 minutes as a net presence so around 12-14 a night, perfect for him.
