1. Brought in a legit 1a goalie and moved our terrible goalie
2. Moved a third pairing LHD on an expiring contract (and M-NTC) for a top-four RHD
3. Shed Joseph's salary and moved pieces that weren't going to move the needle (Brann, Kelly, Kastelic)
4. Added Perron who I've always liked, and Amadio who seems to be a bit of a swiss army knife
5. Is there another move coming?

Draft was a bit of an anomaly but I can convince myself that Yakemchuk was a good pick. Eliasson not so much.

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux
Norris-Pinto-Batherson
Perron-Greig-Amadio
XXXX-XXXX-Gregor
Bubble: MacEwen, Halliday, Ostapchuk, Crookshank

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-XXXX
Bubble: JBD, Hamonic

Ullmark
Forsberg

I wonder if there is a move still left to be made. I think Greig is our last remaining trade chip I'd be willing to move along with some other prospects (Sokolov, Jarventie, Boucher). I wonder if there is a way to get Andersson out of Calgary.

Are you calling chychrun a third pairing Dman?

I think you should take your rose coloured glasses off. We got a player we needed back but it’s not an even trade. We lost that one.

I think he’s done ok. Too early to judge him on it. See what happens with Ullmark.

The sokolov trade is meh to say the least. Got an AHLer back for what is probably an AHLer in sokolov.

I don’t see why we would trade Grieg. It’s exactly the type of player we should be keeping.


I agree that we likely need a trade for a third pairing Dman but not at the cost of Grieg.

I wouldn't trade Greog for a 3 RHD. I'd trade him for someone that pushes Zub or Jensen down the lineup.

And Chychrun is a third pairing dman on this team. He's not better than Chabot or Sanderson and it's clear he csnt play on his off side. That puts him as a 3 LHD with us. He's a second pair dman and most other teams and Jensen would be as well.

We're not going to sign another forward but I do think we will round out the defense with a signing or a trade

DefenceWinsChampionships wrote:All fine with me. I do wonder if our defense is any better than last year. I think it's marginally better defensively but weaker offensively. We lack a heavy slap shot and a puck mover on the bottom pair. Any of the aforementioned guys able to play PP? I wonder if Boqvist can.

I’d keep JBD. The extra D would make it 8

They won't need an 8th D until that 0-game road trip in December.

So I take it you're not in favor of Kleven as the 6/7?
