Would Nikita Gusev we an option for some secondary scoring? Sure he’s having a rough year, but he did get 44 points in 66 games last season. We may be able to get him at half salary, and his contract is done this year. It’s a low risk pick up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What wing does he play? Wonder how he'd do beside Draisaitl? My wish is still Debrusk, I think he'd be good with McDavid and would get Nuge back with Draisaitl. Sidebar, Ennis was waived and didn't hear of any other move, trade?

He’s like Neal, a winger that prefers playing their off wing but plays both sides. Gusev is a right shot though. Twitter talk was Ennis was waived to make room for Stalock.

Gusev did really well in Russia and last year , this season has tallied off. I'm surprised his contract is 4.5 million a season for the last two years, was that a gamble on a player without NHL experience? Media seems to think Holland will make a move for a 3C. I heard earlier we should see Stalock get some action as well.

I heard earlier we should see Stalock get some action as well. He got waived, so his value is way down. They might be able to do a one for one hockey trade with salary retained, or a dump with a pick. Russell or Chiasson with a 4th round pick could do it. Although, we’re very short on picks. Not sure if Holland will want to give up any picks this year. Just a thought to give us a little more secondary scoring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No he is interesting for sure and has a long run of producing other then this last year. Players like this can turn out to be gems, low cost and a move into a good hockey situation does wonders.

I wonder if it would be possible to pry Zadorov from Chicago. Jones and a pick? Zadorov is still relatively young at 25, but he has a 3.2M cap hit we’d need to fit in though.

I was kinda shocked that Colorado let him go. I'd be a little surprised if Holland went for a d man unless it was something like Ekholm or Savard to really shore up the D but the cost would be at least Nuge and a prospect. I still think Holland will address a 3rd line center and if possible a left winger. I was sold on Turris, I really thought he would fit here and we would see his best hockey.

I thought Turris would have worked out too. At the very least, give it 100% every game like Ennis does. Ennis may not put up points, but at least he plays like he gives a crap. Turris looks disinterested a lot of the time, or maybe it’s just me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if it's chemistry between his line mates or what is going on. The guy does have incredible skill and I really expected him to break out at some point.

I wonder if there's a deal to be made with the Leafs involving Kerfoot and Koskinen?
It sounds like they're shopping Kerfoot, and maybe Kosko would return to form with a change of scenery. We'd have to retain some $$ to make it work, but could be worth a shot.

Sounds like the Devils are looking to retool. I wonder if Miles Wood might be a fit?
Big lefty. Has scored 11 in 34g this year. $2.75m through next year.
If we're not going to get Nuge signed, him for Wood would add size to the top6 and free up $3.25m Cap for this year and next. I know it wouldn't be popular but Cap space is coveted these days.

I wouldn't mind it.
I'd also try and pry Zadorov from Chicago. His nasty play would be great in the playoffs.

You have came out defending koskinen quite adamantly and now I read this and you would pull the trigger on trading him?

As for Koskinen, I’ve defended that we’ve seen him play well so we know he can. I’ve acknowledged that he’s playing bad this season. I came out defending Koskinen mostly because we differ on the reasoning why he’s bad right now. Your claim is that he’s just a really bad goaltender. My claim is that he can’t be bad because we’ve seen him play well, so it must be something else. Is it him sitting for too long between games, or something else? Who knows? My biggest issue was how you came out against him, not that you are against him, but that’s all done now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hey Bud, I do enjoy your opinion and just wanted to understand your thoughts. I agree if you can make the team better you have to look at all options. I do not think Koskinen is really bad but has let bad habits and focus hurt his performance. Koskinen frustrates me because I know he can be better.

I think the team defensively plays differently in front of Koskinen than they do Smith. They're a little more aggressively with Smith in net, it could totally be Smith directing traffic and talking to players.

His acting like the 3rd d man on shoot ins allows them to play differently, too. Our d have a lot more variables to figure out on coverage and shoot ins when Koskinen is in net. Even without the goalie even touching the puck, just the knowledge that Smith will play the puck limits the opposition’s choice of entry plays.
