Thread: get reilly a partner and a proper second pair guy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LAKANDTOR348</b></div><div>I dont mind your thinking Id just rather have Demelo- Matt Roy (and we dont have to pay anything for him) and 1 of Chatfield, Deshardians( From EDM, IDK how to spell that last name) or Hakappaa. in that order in pairs. Trade Lilly</div></div>

I think Roy would be the best add but also I think you have to see what you have on RD with Liljegren, Timmins and maybe Niemela. Add at the deadline likely for some muscle if they don't progress enough.

Really though a top 4 of

Rielly Roy
McCabe Liljegren

is loads better that what we have now. It would be nice if Timmins takes a big step and gets some luck with his health.

Benoit Timmins as the 3rd pair to start the year. They may surprise and gives you extra long term money available if you decide to make a trade in season.

I wouldn't be surprised if we added whatever version of physical 3rd pair defenceman are available at the deadline. Maybe something bigger if it makes sense.

Liljegren already has been playing top 4 minutes this season and while he has had his moments. He's been a good player and is getting better.

Adding another big ticket FA like Demello very well could be our next Brodie. I am very wary of defenceman around the 33-35 year old range. It's very often a major drop off.

Thread: Read Description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LAKANDTOR348</b></div><div>I mostly want that big guy defensive minded for Rielly bc if you think about his best play has been with Ron Hainsey bc he was so good defensively and Schenn was a beast with him in the 1st rd but realistically he won't be good enough to play all year on the top line lol. So that's why I want a guy like that. So if you guys have any names please comment. Cheaper the better ofc and what's the price. Or do you think Mayfield could be that guy?</div></div>

If you want a guy that would compliment Rielly then Mayfield would be a good short-term option (he's already 30). But it's important to note that Rielly isn't a true #1 guy and trying to force him into that role because he's "supposed" to be that guy isn't a good idea.
