Binnington was lights out at home in the regular season, the playoffs he had some rocky starts but always bounced back. During the regular season in the stretch Binnington was a beast at home still solid on the road and Allen was great on the road but was terrible at home. Next season I don't think the roster will look much different than it is now. There is things to decide one but over all the top lines are going to be there and most of the 3rd. Who don't have contracts (That played a role in the playoffs) are Maroon, Blais,Barbie, Stanford, Fabbri, Gunnarson, Edmoundson, Sunqvist, and Binnington (As a RFA) Now there others guys who played in the minors who had a one year left like Thornburn who likely will be retired. Honestly don't think it will take that much to keep a lot of these guys around someone will be gone though likely Fabbri. Maroon came here for his son on less money. Now winning a cup here I doubt he would want to leave butu it's really up to the Blues if they have a spot form him still because of Kyrou is ready for a winger stop. Beurbe found him the right role compare to Yeo who had no clue. One that happened he started be very effective. So really Maroon from the third and who will be the forth with Steen and your depth. I do see them trying to get Allen traded for cap space, and getting I hope a better than Chad Johnson backup. I see Fabbri going only because I can see Kyrou coming in and roster spots in general is going to be tight. So the Blues will have that depth again next year. Now after next year is where it gets interesting but shouldn't effect the team from being contenders as long there prospects work out Thomas we can see star all over this kid and he will only get better. But after the 19-20 season they have Schenn and Petro as FA. Schwartz I think the year after. But the top prospects being coming in to take over spots. So the team is going to have a lot fo moving parts but the success should still be there. Fabbri is an RFA and still has some potential. I agree he is gone, but in a trade. Allen we would have to add to move because he's signed for 2 more years at good starter money, and everyone knows he's trash as a starter. I think we keep him, because if we retain money on him in a deal it's a wash and then we'd have to sign a back-up. Allen, though I hate his guts and want him to leave, isn't a bad back-up goalie. I'd try to package Edmundson and Fabbri for either a young 3rd pairing LD, LD prospect, or a high 2nd round pick to draft a LD prospect. Edmonton would probably be interested in a young, talented winger on the cheap, but probably not Eddy. Someone out there will take Eddy, but I want him gone regardless of return. No foot speed, no passing ability, not a great shot, dumb turnovers, dumb penalties, fights but always loses. He's good at clearing the crease and that's literally it. We do have too many forwards. I think we re-sign Schenn either this off-season or mid-season, so it's him, Tank, Schwartz, ROR, Thomas, and Sunny as our best forwards. Barbashev is gonna be cheap because he's a 4th liner and doesn't score. But he's a great defensive player. Bozak is 8th. Perron I would LOVE to move but our FO has some weird obsession with him. He just keeps finding his way back here. So that's 9 forwards, we only have room to dress 3 more and roster a couple after that. It's probably time for Kyrou to come up, Maroon is up in the air, Sanford is a RFA, MacMac is still in the system, Kostin is getting closer and may deserve an 8-game run at some point next season, Fabbri is gonna be cheap to keep, Berube loves Blais. That's way too many guys. 7 guys for 5 spots, and maybe room for a FA if we manage our money right. So we gotta jettison some forwards. Tough to see who will make the cut. Fabbri and Kyrou (who Kyrou will be here regardless) have the highest upside, Kostin (same as Kyrou) and Blais have that sandpaper but Blais offensive upside is limited, MacMac is great defensively, Maroon is a great net presence and good in the locker room and a local hero, Sanford is kinds good at everything but great at absolutely nothing. Lots of decisions to make. MacMac did sign a one year deal so he seemed to be safe unless used in a deal. The good thing is they have depth and moving around but regardless still be a competitive team for a long time really. It's really comes down to who you want as you last starting D-man. Eddy or Gunnar (Who did well in playoffs but would cost more.) |

Eddy or Gunnar (Who did well in playoffs but would cost more.) Gunnar is the better defenseman, and it's kinda a priority to sign him since most people think JBo retires after next season. Gunnar at 2 years, 2/3 mil isn't bad. Eddy is controlled and will be cheap, but he just sucked this year. If we can get him out of the line-up for good, that's great. Then again, I think we all wrote JBo off last year and he was a star at LD this year. It still pisses me off that Thorburn got passed the Cup before Tank. Thorburn was here one year, got release midseason, didn't play a minute in the playoffs, or after he got signed again IIRC, is a greasy bum, etc. Dude better have won a bet or something. |

I just saw the hobbled version who had some brief flashes but otherwise didn鈥檛 stand out very much. I don't know...I'm just reminded of the Drew Doughty contract and how much the Kings are suffering with that contract and at least for them, they already have a few cups to soften the blow of being bad. |

Erik Karlsson has signed an 8 year deal to stat in San Jose. Not sure about this. Honestly a lot of risk and I feel like at the end it may be regretting it kind of deal. Your talking about a guy at the back end of his prime years which isn't the same anyway since his ankle. Has a injury history but while when healthy still an elite player in the league. The question is out of the 8 years will can he stay healthy. With other key pieces also going on the block. I feel like cap reasons San Jose is going to loss out on players and I feel someone of them would been better longer term options overall, because there healthier and in there prime or entering there prime. Like I say this is a huge gamble that if he stays healthy and plays like he has when he is, it can pay off but I feel overall the team is handicapping themselves to much with these deals so I don't now how well there depth as a team is going to be to have a chance at another run. |

Nice move for the Rangers. The Jets fans were always delusional about the return they were going to get for him. It's not table scraps, but it's not a ransom either. I like this for NY. AND they just sold the pick from the Hayes deal back to them too. Nice. They're quietly building something. |

Then again, everyone said the same about Washington and St. Louis, so it's really anyone's ballgame rn. |

What the actual f***. 7.14M for someone who hovers around 50 points at best? Is Chuck Fletcher TRYING to blow up the CBA? |

Erik Karlsson has signed an 8 year deal to stat in San Jose. Not sure about this. There's two things that play into this. The first is that it highlighted the cheapness (yes, cheapness; Eugene Melnyk is NOT "frugal") of Ottawa, due to the fact that I honestly think Melnyk would find paying 750K for his top player annually highway robbery, though anyone with a working brain expected all the good players to get the hell out of that dumpster fire sooner or later. The other is that, for a team as star-crossed as San Jose, that's an awful lot of money to put on one player expecting success. |
