Thread: Offseason Attempt
I find it odd you kept Laggeson over Vaakainen and Lindstrom. I would give Lindstrom a 2 year deal, make Luneau outplay him for a full time roster spot, and I would keep Vaakainen as our #7 guy. Laggeson can be kept as our #8 if you want but I wouldn't keep him on the main roster.

I'm hesitant about Montour, he had one freakish year but has otherwise been a #4 Damn his entire career, we cut him loose because he wasn't taking that next step when he was here, and I don't know that he ever did. He's always been an offensive leaning 2 way D who is adequate in their own end but not good, he's a smaller right shot Fowler. I really think we need a defensive specialist like Peace, or even Matt Roy would be a preferable pickup, to mentor and cover for the youth on the left side. I also echo Landro about letting Luneau cook in the AHL until he forces his way up. Gulls need to get good too if we want our development pipeline to be supplying us with talent for years to come.

Marchy is probably a good pickup, though I'd quibble about the lines. Terry needs to get his a$$ in gear and stop trying to force plays as the hero.

Thread: Offseason Attempt
Have seen a few iterations of this over the past couple of days. There’s certainly a situation in which I could see the Blues pulling the trigger on this. But it would depend on a couple of things that wouldn’t be decided until the pick comes up.

If one of Silayev, Buium, Dickinson, Levshunov, Parehk or Yakemchuk are there I can’t see them moving the pick. I could see a scenario in which the front office doesn’t love Parehk or Yakemchuk, but I doubt it.

There’s also a possibility the Blues Front office could be high on a guy that’s in the second tier and doesn’t want to take a risk.

It would take the Blues front office really liking LaCombe, and also having someone they’re pretty sure they could grab at the Edmonton pick on the backend for it to make sense.

The Blues in all reality need to extensively look at moving up to grab a guy they really like out of that first pairing but moving up isn’t always probable from 16.

Thread: Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>He would be your best offensive player since Selanne, would come with a discount below 12 million and would instantly make your team jump ahead in their rebuild.

Gibson isn't worth much of anything, Zegras is a good player but will never be a 90-100 point guy and the 3rd does nothing for Toronto.

If that extension was in place you guys would be lucky to get away with only adding Zellweger and not your 2024 1st rounder. Marner is behind only Kucherov as a RW in this league, I think people forget that on this site</div></div>

He’s a pending UFA and we’re coming off a 3rd to last place finish. This was posted by a ‘Nucks fan for a reason. Unless he can be had without moving a single core piece (Leo, McT, Terry, Gauthier, Zegras, Mintyukov, Zellweger, Dostal, ‘241st) it’s an easy pass. You don’t put your future on the line with the hope that he signs an extension
