Thread: What it Sounds Like Holland is Doing
those seem like all reasonable targets. Personally, salaries are too high for Barrie and Nuge.... too low for Nemeth & Armia. Both taking significant paycuts? Smith deserves that modest raise!

I think we need to revamp LW completely, but I wonder what the development plan is for Holloway with big, long terms deals for Nuge, Tatar & Coleman? Or do you play him at center behind 97, 29 and McLeod. Just a consideration. Big salaries with big term are tough to move - something to consider with those 3 new contracts on LW. Id start holloway in AHL, but he might only need half a season and then what?

D hasnt improved enough to think we'll challenge for the cup. Its a dilemma for me and i have no strong feelings. I like Barrie, Bear, Larsson & Bouchard........... but not enough room for all three until injury! I like Nemeth, One thing we lack on D (Stauffer says its coming) is wingspan. Besides Darnell, everyone is "normal" size. We could use a guy more of it and move Russell to 7th Dman.... with Broberg & sam in the minors to start. Guys from winning organizations is important - Oleksiak, McNabb.... i know, they dont grow on trees. Hard to get them on a 1 or 2 year deal too. But the D hasnt improved enough for playoffs.... maybe improve that at deadline..... i guess.

Jujar. So good on PK. Size. So bad on faceoffs. Defensive guy and completely loses man in game 3 on goal #3. ive mixed feelimgs about him coming back. Be more interested in Rightie center who can take draws instead of 29 on PK. Sutter? Glendening? Bozek? Bozek would be my pick on a 1 yaer, inexpensive deal and hope he doesnt contract Belanger-Turris syndrome.

All in all not bad..... have you added enough scoring in bottom 6 with Coleman & Armia? D needs significant upgrade on left side for playoffs.

Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bringer_Of_Snow</b></div><div>Although I wouldn't want to move back in the draft, I think Holland would definitely be interested in that Ottawa trade. Although, it might be a bit of an overpayment from Ottawa. Two 2nd rounders is a hefty price for bumping up 10ish spots from mid 20's to 14. Based on his last media availability, it sounds like he would for sure entertain recouping some picks to move back in the draft.

I also really like the Pittsburgh trade. Pitt fans might not because of the value though.</div></div>

Its usually a 2nd or 3rd round pick to move up (depending on how many spots). Considering this is supposed to be a deep draft. A second pick next year is not too far fetched. its only a single 2nd round to move up. I think Mat Benning is worth a 3rd round pick.... Dall pick is 2nd rnd, but really its almost a third rounder after the win tonight. I read Ott has to try to move some of its picks for players because you cant bring in 13 draft picks from one season to your farm team down the road. Not enough room. The author said to expect them to package picks to move up and/or acquire players.

I personally don’t think JP has the hockey IQ. Yakupov 2.0. There’s a reason Columbus passed on him. We have 1 season to trade him or have him figure it out. Else we lose him in expansion draft and have nothing to show. I’d rather have a newer first round pick. We have too many players already clueless in their own zone. Forget which analyst on radio was saying both JP and AA are lost in their end. Can’t play both in bottom 6 and hope to win.
