Thread: Realistic yet aggressive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jukesy</b></div><div>Bye buddy....hope you find your daaaaaaaad.

Overall. Pretty realistic. I think the only thing I'd change is they'd keep Geno at Center. I agree he should move to wing for Trocheck but it wouldn't happen.

I think the selecting of Miro is great. I also really think you nailed your terms and aavs on signings. Only one I'd change is I think they can get Kap back slightly cheap. 2.2 to 2.6 range.</div></div>

It’s really just however much Kappy would be fine with, without going to arbitration. I think we should keep him, now that the season has been done for a while and I have had time to let things sit, his skill set is too good and we gave up so much to get him and he was great last year.

I think miro is the kind of high risk guy that we need to take, just hope Putin doesn’t poison him if he tries to leave the country. His up side is crazy for 21OA. Sure there is risk, but if he stays healthy and someone puts a bullet in putins then this kid could be potting 40 goals on Sid’s line in 3 years.

I put troch at Center just to show it was an option. My last one I had both and put Malkin at Center and everyone told me they would only want troch to play Center as a geno replacement but I think we can have both and either one can play Center.

Thread: Realistic Offseason July 2nd Rumours
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jukesy</b></div><div>So I see McGinn and a 1st straight up for Debrusk as an overpayment, and I also think although Boston is entering a retool, I dont think they wanna be giving up Roster players for prospects just yet. I think at least McGinn gives them a roster player that is useful to them and could fill in on their left side. Plus they get the first they liekly want for debrusk. A first if your Pittsburgh you are hoping is a very late one.

I think you could take out one of the picks boston is sending and it would be decent value still for pit but if you take out both picks I dont think its a fair deal. Debrusk is solid but he's not a roster player plus a 1st solid.</div></div>

You are my Pens offseason soulmate ❤

Thread: solid team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jukesy</b></div><div>I'm from Moose Jaw. I've seen Mateychuk play live many times. I will say this, with the exception of Brayden Point. I cant remember a better player in my lifetime. I'm not one to call certain hometown guys elite because of my bias either. I was quick to call Brett Howden a bad pick in the first round cause I'd seen him play live enough to know. Same with Brayden Tracey (however the jury is still out on him cause he is young). I will say this. Mateychuk should be a top 15 pick, at least. He is the best Moose Jaw warrior i have ever seen, if he slides to 21 and we grab him I will literally scream with Joy. He is a left handed kris letang I promise you. His questions about defending ability are non-existent to me. I watched him absolutely shutdown Connor Geekie and Matty Savoie every time they were on the ice with him, yes I know Winnipeg won that playoff series but I promise you, those two "elite" guys were never effective when Mateychuk was on them.</div></div>

I feel the same way about Mateychuk. Kid is a stud

Thread: Risky
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jukesy</b></div><div>So the plan is.

Replace Pettersson with POJ.

Rodrigues and Kapanen with some combination of Zohorna/DOC/Nylander/Bjorkvist.

Bank on Zucker's health.

And bank on Heinen repeating his production from last year.

This is exactly what you titled it. Risky. I don't hate it actually...

I think POJ could do what Pettersson does, but I REALLY think we should move Dumo instead.

Im hopeful Heinen could be solid again and I like the price tag for him. To me its not a stretch to think he could repeat what he did last year if you give him 82 games with Geno and Rakell/Rust instead of a mishap of random linemates like last year.

I REALLY think Zohorna needs to see NHL time. I actually like him better than DOC. I think its realistic to think 2 of Poulin, Zohorna, DOC, Nylander, Hallander, Bjorkvist, or hell even Legare could be solid bottom 6 players. You only need 2 of them to hit right.

The thing that REALLY scares me here is Zucker. I do not think his health will hold up. I am not willing to bank on it. I'd rather trade him. Spend his 5.5 mil tag on a better 2nd line LW, and then move Heinen to the 3rd line. Other than that. I actually really like this roster. Its risky but I honestly believe in it, I think its realistic too..</div></div>

I think it is realistic as well. Could be risky but if Sid doesn’t get injured in a big point of winning in a playoff series, we should be fine. I feel it could possibly be risky because running it back with a team that blew a 3-1 lead sounds like it makes no sense but it feels different with this team. It’s hard not to make excuses but when you got your star player, another top 6 winger, your nhl goalies, and a shut down defencemen out with injuries. It can be hard to win a series. So I’m banking on the health of the line up which really makes it risky
