Is willing to take a serious paycut and sign with the understanding that he’s not going to play in the top 6 unless he moves to LW and outplays Bertuzzi so much that it would be uneasonable to keep him on the third line? If that’s what he’s on board for, then yes. But if he wants to come here for multiple millions and play with Matthews, keep walking.

Could use a good goalie instead 🤔

Bad juju.

With what money lmao

If we can jettison Klingberg and Reaves to Robidas Island and give him their money? It won’t make this Frankenroster that Shanny and Tree broke any worse.

Pass unless it was league min or similar, which would not happen because some team will overpay him.
footwith4toes
Only if it’s league min and we’re able to get rid of Reaves somehow.

Why not

I can’t see how this could help team defence. Unless somehow they are trading a too 6 fwd for a good defender.

I don’t know if you have ever heard of this concept called “salary cap space”? If not, you might want to look into it.

Is this aging, left hand shooting, transition-specialist scoring winger the physical, shut-down, stay-at-home right hand shooting defenseman we needed all along?

Dude great post! We need more Kane to Toronto dialect in this sub.
bobbyboogie69
Hard No! We don’t need him, we need defensemen not cabbie beating assholes.

If they can beef up the blue line then sure. But this team is going to need a little more muscle especially if Reaves can’t be counted on.
League min contract and only if the back end is taken care of first.

Bad: I’d rather take a flyer on Puljujarvi and hope he trends upward if we’re going to the garbage bin of UFAs
Kane is too much of a question mark and we don’t need anymore offence. Pulju does one thing that we need and that’s puck possession. Doesn’t do much else tho, I wouldn’t even call him defensively sound but he’d be an upgrade to Reaves (I don’t think that’s too reassuring)

Defense needs help first

Holland is going to sign him for way too much money.
OkTrueTrue
Meh
Bragisson
Judging by the comments…. A resounding “yes?”

How does he truly improve the team? How many more goals does he give you over whoever is in that place now?

For what purpose?

No.

Don’t we need better D first?

Is no one going to talk about the skates being on the pavement? 😭

Great image work.
As for the signing, would be fun, so sure if it’s cheap.

Right now as the lines are constructed the forward lines are pretty good. The greatest need right now is on defence. I just don’t see this team going deep in the playoffs with the current defence that we have.
It doesn’t make any sense at all for the team to spend more money on forwards. They have already allotted so much cash upfront. I can see Treliving trying to pry one of those defenceman out of Calgary. He knows them quite well from his time there. They’re all big and long which is the way this GM likes his defence to be.

Hard pass.
Not happening.
