cross16 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Can live with this but I really wish they would have aimed much higher. Versteeg isn't going to go very far to address the lack of 5 on 5 scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT could still be in the hunt for someone like Sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny - Mony - Ferland Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik Versteeg - Bennett - Brouwer Bouma - Stajan - Lazar Unless you are buying out a couple players this lineup is pretty much set.

I wouldn't see surprised at all if he ends up back with SJS but Thornton will be moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just they're cap hit would be higher, but that wouldn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zima Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ok so do we stand pat now or is BT going to bring in another D and forward ? Im sure they will bring in a Goalie I myself would love to see Rittch and Gillies being brought up and down for the season but not going to happen.

I expect a forward ,I fully expect a name vet (marleau, williams, jagr, sharp, Iggy , etc) and maybe a depth defenseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zima Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I would still like to see Iggy back here even for a yr Sharp is the youngest of the bunch marleau is up there as well but I guess he has put more points than iggy but being moved from team to team doesn't help much and Colorado just had a weird yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 So it sounds like Winnipeg is bringing in another goalie, the current rumor is Mason. We need a backup and the Jets will have 3 goalies if they bring in Mason so is there a trade to be made to acquire Hutchinson. The other player I am curious about is Dano, he requires waivers this year, but he is skilled and can play all 3 forward positions. I am not sure what the cost would be to Hutchinson and Dano but I think there could be a fit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Not a huge Lack fan, but I am ok with this trade. Get a backup and a puck moving defenseman for Kanzig who probably won't ever play in the NHL and 6th, is pretty good trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy has more upside than Kanzig for sure.. lets hope we get Vancouver and 1st year Carolina Lack and not 2nd year Carolina Lack funny thing is .. the boys on Fan 960 were debating about how badly they didnt want him this morning ( i forget who did and who didnt) and i was thinking watch.. we'll get him now LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Murphy is a RHS D so he will be competing with Andersson for that 3rd pairing spot. Ultimately though he gives us right handed depth. I do like that he can skate and can move the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like either the acquired Murphy or Andersson will be our 3rd pairing RD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
