Mailloux + Cgy 1st for Cozens …

 

[Sal_Butera]

As much as I’d prefer Cozens..I’m expecting Mailloux for Zegras swap

It will cost less than $1 million to buy him out.

Lol

Why would they do that?

If he goes on LTIR, no reason to I guess.

I would give Kirby one last chance next year

Ya. 1 year left at 3.3m

Like Laine you make a decision next year

 

[CH1]

You don't have to decide anything right now...but you also don't wait to solve your #2 centre problem

Just assume Dach was a swing and a miss....and if he proves otherwise, then you have a nice problem

Hard to disagree

Yep.

What options do we have?

Ritchie from the avs?
Cozens from sabres?

Who wants to tank for McKenna next year as part of a rebuild that also has a young centre

 

[CH1]

I think our tanking days are over after this year… HuGo will have to get creative.

We have lots of premium picks and a deep prospect pool to offer

He’s not a good center, even when healthy.

he can play wing then, makes no difference to me, centre, wing, whatever

But then you need a 2nd line center.

I never stated we didn't, I just think buying him out serves no purpose.

How would we know?

In a few years

Bottom 6 I think we have lots of options so I'm not worries

Hutson DR?
Guhle bbbbbb
Wifi/Engstrom LM

Really need Reinbacher to pan out

the easiest positions to fill!!!!!

If things go right we can get back to the subban, maxpac, Markov, price core!

yep...any time you draft someone top 5, you really can't afford to miss (otherwise you'll keep drafting top 5 for ages)
