Off Season Rumours

Everyone will be blowing their load on Stamkos in free agency. Hopefully sens are smart and while everyone is focused on stammer, we got and swoop in to grab Eriksson.

Also Weircioch is likely out according to garrioch rumors.

yeah the best they could of done is gone to arbitration to get 15% knocked off. not enough. someone will offer him a contract on the cheap for a year to prove himself.

And then... WE STRIKE!!!!

Well, hopefully!  If Tampa can't get a deal done soon after the playoffs, I imagine Tampa will try and trade Stamkos' rights.

What's all this got to do with rumours? Have a snicker prags...

SD started it.

Jannik Hansen keeps being named as trade bait and would fit nicely on our 3rd line.

Yeah, he certainly would. Depending on the price they're asking. 5 million owed for 2 years, 20 goal utility guy = good purchase. 2nd rounder?

That would be a good guess.

Depends on how they feel about the draft, I guess.

The thing about Hansen is he's a nice utility guy, in that he could play in the top six if need be. Still not Eriksson, but interesting for a budget team.

PKS too I think.

There's a few options, including a lesser pick packaged with a guy like The Puemper, who will probably move down the depth chart with Perron turning pro. Or give up nothing and try to sign Purcell, who also thrived under Boucher previously.

Adding a 3rd line RW should not prevent adding a guy like Eriksson to play on the left on one of the Top 2 lines, either. Not if we want to take a huge step forward anyway.
