Everyone still thinking we over paid and over signed Anderson. He's looking like a steal.

He made things happen on the PP, we haven't seen anyone do that since him and Markov left. Hopefully Romanov is that guy. Wow no wonder Toronto is a bad playoff team these guys need the pp to score other wise they don't score .

That's the kind of PP QB we've been missing here since PK left town

Not sure if it's just me but not a fan of the red goaltending equipment.

Whats up everyone welcome to another season. Off to a good start, man didn't realize how big Mr.Anderson is .

I wouldn't mind bring back Thompson. Lehkonen / Thompson / Perry would make a great 4th line

I wouldn't mind bring back Thompson for the 4th line center job. Lehkonen / Thompson / Perry could be a very interesting 4th line.

I think all this team needs is a veteran 4th line center to round everything out.

Toffoli / Suzuki /Drouin Tatar / Danault / Gallagher Armia / Kotkaniemi / Anderson Lehkonen / Evans / Perry Extra Frolik , Byron, Weal I think Byron will be traded to save cap money

Ok and how many cups have those team's won with those players 🤔. This team can run 4 lines now, has added depth in case of injuries. Which means this team shouldn't do it's yearly nose dive when it gets hit with injuries. Plus we have added cup winner's to this team players that know what it takes to win. Should be an interesting team to watch play.

This is the most depth team we have had in 20 years. This is what I have been taking about when it comes to depth. Plus we now have 9 guys on this team who have won a cup. Great job Bergevin finally adding smart depth players. It is now up to the players and coaches but i do believe this is a playoff team.

Trade Byron, Weal would save you close to 5mil. A 4th line of lehkonen/Evans/Frolik would look good

Don't forget Edmondson, he's going to be a fine addition to the blue line plus so will Romanov. Plus we added guys who have won a cup. For me I just feel the most improved Canadian team's this off season are Montreal and Calgary.

But you're forgetting Calgary and Montreal greatly improved their team. Edmonton did nothing, Toronto got older and slower, Vancouver lost a lot of depth, jets did nothing and Ottawa improved.

I think Calgary and Montreal will fight it out for 1st. I think those are the 2 teams who have addressed their teams needs the most.

Ok so theirs been talk of a all Canadian division because of covid19 and crossing the border concerns. So were would Montreal finish in a division vers the other Canadian team's? I think Calgary, Montreal have addressed team needs, more than the other Canadian team's. Vancouver lost a lot of talent but still has a good mix of players and depth. Edmonton and Jets didn't address any need's and I like what Ottawa is doing but still a young team. Toronto i think got older and slower with some of the addition's but also added some veteran leaders to that dressing room. So with that said i think it ends up looking like this Calgary Montreal Vancouver Toronto Edmonton Jets Ottawa I think this could be the order in which teams would finish. Just based on who improved the most in the off season.

If we trade Byron and weal that would clear up about 5mil in cap space. I would add one or both of these guys on a cheap 1 year contract. Lehkonen / Soderberg / Athanasiou could be a really nice gritty 4th line for us. Plus all 3 guys can move up the line up if they're any injuries.

I think an interesting name still out there that's a veteran and could be a good 4th line Center would be SÖDERBERG. Or if you want to gamble a Little sign ATHANASIOU, he can play both wings and center. Either guy Could be a good addition on the 4th line especially if they look at trading Byron to add cap space.

I agree with Tatar and weal and also one if not both of lehkonen and Armia. But I think they keep Mete and trade Kulak. It would be cheaper for them to keep Mete over Kulak.

I think they ended up meeting in the middle. Maybe Gallagher was asking for 7 over 8 and Bergevin was offering 6. Talks broke off then they came back with 6.5mil over 6. Both sides agree to it.

Just in Gallagher signed 6.5mil over 6 years. What's everyone's thoughts. Think this means Byron will be moved for cap space and Tatar won't be back.

Yeah or should of used the word replaced. But it's the same as expandable. A few years ago you would have to give them what they wanted. But now I don't think that's the case.

So if they're asking for 6.5mil-8mil you would sign them both to that money?

With Gallagher and Danault contract about to end depending on what they're asking for are they expandable? Tatar Gallagher Danault Armia Weal Lehkonen Kotkaniemi All have contracts coming to an end. Then you have Suzuki Next year. I don't think Bergevin can sign everyone one. I can see him not signing Tatar Weal Armia and lehkonen are borderline to resign or not. He can also trade Byron and Kulak to free up more money. But at what price do you walk away from Danault and/or Gallagher. With the added depth on wing and at center their isn't a need to must sign them at any cost any more. For me both players are 5-6mil dollar guys. If they're asking for more as much as I hate to see them go I would look at trading them. Guess to it would also depend on what it's going to cost to re-up Kotkaniemi and Suzuki. Man if we thought this off season was fun , next year could get crazy.

I don't think he'll break down. Just think if he's asking for over 7mil a year Bergevin won't do it.
