Description

I think they need a change of scenery both in defense and in the crease and need to bolster the forward group and to fire coach sullivan possibly, especially if the team can't win past the first round for the 7th year in a row with a good revamped team like this.

You actually think that you’re getting Vejmelka for a salary dump??

Forsberg hasn't played a full season since 2016!! Not worth it for a guy making $8.5m for 7 more years if he's going to miss 20-30 games each season

Goalies never get a high return no matter how good of a season they've had. And vejmelka had .899 sv%. Devil's advocate here. Also rutta isn't a cap dump. Solid middle d

The pro to that would be taking advantage of the injured reserve cap relief like vegas and tampa

That only works if they are injured the entire season. If he is able to play you have to clear the space to activate him
