Seriously, they're both reborn. I understand that money makes things tricky, but damn, get it done Theo!!Man if he’s willing to take a discount and Krecji takes one too. Could be sweet.
Nice! First game I get to watch with our new puppy.7:15 for Game 1 Saturday in Washington
And we don't have to watch Bjork, which is nice.A 2nd and Anders Bjork. Plus we got Lazar,
lol
I have my first poker game in a year Saturday night. Poker and playoff Bruins--add in a little whiskey and I think I may cry.7:15 for Game 1 Saturday in Washington
It's a Halluva start
Shouldn’t they keep Booth to expose as a goalie? Otherwise they’d have to sign Tuukka pre-draft and expose him and I’m guessing he’ll negotiate an NMC because he doesn’t want to play anywhere else.Gamethread spitballing, but if they can get some of the major UFAs back on the following AAVs, looking like a hell of a roster:
Hall: $7m
Krejci: $7m (if he's amenable to a 35+ bonus-laden deal for lower base AAV, even better)
Rask: $7m
Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Hall - Krejci - Smith
DeBrusk - Coyle - Ritchie ($2.1, if not selected by SEA)
Frederic ($1.2) - Lazar - Wagner
Kuhlman / Studnicka
Grzelcyk - McAvoy
Lauzon - Carlo ($3.7)
Zboril - Clifton
Vaakanainen
Rask
Swayman
$76.724m AAV for that roster, not including Moore's likely $2.75m AAV on LTIR.
Assumed UFAs gone: Halak, Reilly, Kuraly, Miller, Kampfer, Tinordi, Blidh
Assumed RFAs gone: Kase (non-tender or sub-QO retention, arb-eligible), Hughes, Booth
Assumed gone to Seattle: one of Clifton/Zboril/Lauzon in all likelihood; I think Zboril is the guy they'd miss least, and they have Ahcan to bump up the depth chart.
So Is that Edwards and Brick?Shouldn’t they keep booth to expose as a goalie?
But where is Eichel?!Gamethread spitballing, but if they can get some of the major UFAs back on the following AAVs, looking like a hell of a roster:

I saw him at the Hertz counter at Logan earlier this morning.But where is Eichel?!
He was booking a flight to LA to check out condos for when he gets traded to the Kings next month.I saw him at the Hertz counter at Logan earlier this morning.
Ah right you are - QO deadline day is 6/29 so they'll need to QO him, small price to pay thoughShouldn’t they keep Booth to expose as a goalie? Otherwise they’d have to sign Tuukka pre-draft and expose him and I’m guessing he’ll negotiate an NMC because he doesn’t want to play anywhere else.
That’s a solid squad. Hopefully they can have gentlemen’s agreements with the UFAs and sign them right after the expansion draft. If I had my druthers I’d like to scrape up a few million to sign Reilly (or some other decent D who can get shots through to the net, retrieve the puck and initiate the offense, and make accurate stretch passes) so the top two pairs can smoothly get the puck out of the D zone.Gamethread spitballing, but if they can get some of the major UFAs back on the following AAVs, looking like a hell of a roster:

I expect he'd get around that, maybe a bit less, and/or that he'd take a lower base AAV 35+ contract with easily achievable bonuses to not impact next year's cap as much.Is Krejci really getting $7M AAV? That seems preposterously high.
Also, TAYLOR MF HALL!! Someone needs to light Wilson TF up tonight, or Saturday. If possible, both--I don't care if he's not playing on Saturday.
