Backlund deserves the Captaincy whether he re-signs or not.I sincerely hope the contract is reasonable. IF Backlund is indeed re-signed. Not a huge fan of them tossing him the Captaincy as a way to keep him.
Trying not to overthink things. Nothing has been revealed yet. Tense times before starting the season, that's for sure.. (⌐■-■)
I'm good, I hate fish and canned foods (literally only canned food I buy is baked beans), so this just sounds like a really terrible idea to meIt's a fermented canned fish that's basically explosive waste if not handled correctly.
Even so, I'd be curious to try it.
I don't see it as tossing his the C to re-sign. I don't think it's a negotiating tool, he deserves the C, but if he's leaving in a few months, there is no point in naming him captain after 2 years without one.I sincerely hope the contract is reasonable. IF Backlund is indeed re-signed. Not a huge fan of them tossing him the Captaincy as a way to keep him.

Getting Samuel Girard would be nice particularly if Hanifin gets traded and Kylington is another no show for the season. Girard has 4 yrs left on a $5m AAV contract. He can also play LD and RD.
The Avalanche decided to target Ryan Johansen in a trade with the Nashville Predators. This does not mean they do not have an interest in Backlund anymore.
NHL trade rumors are making the rounds that a blockbuster trade could be in the works between the two teams.
So with Pelletier out for the foreseeable future there are now 2 top 9 spots open with reasonably 3 contenders for them in Dube, Ruzicka, and Coronato:
Huberdeau-Lindholm-Sharangovich
X-Kadri-X
Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman
Experience wise Dube most likely has an inside track on one of them, so it’s between Coronato and Ruzicka to earn the last one. If Ruzicka earns it I imagine Coronato spends the year in the AHL, where if Coronato earns it Ruzicka could centre the new look 4th line this year. Pelletier’s injury puts a damper on my hopes for a Ruzicka-Dube-Duehr 4th line though, what they lacked in experience they could’ve made up for with a fast hard hitting play style with some offense.
Absolutely, we only had 12 projected forwards and that included Pelts, Coronato, Duehr & Ruzicka. I think we were looking that route regardless for a 13th forward to be honest, now I could see us grab a couple players.Should be a good option available on waivers while still giving a few kids an opportunity.
Just claim Phillips when he hits waivers.
I thought about mentioning him, but didn't want to start down that rabbit holeJust claim Phillips when he hits waivers.
Everything I've seen says 8-10 weeks, that's be end-Nov to mid-Dec although that could be like 30+ gamesVasy is out in Tampa until December-January now. Maybe a good spot for Vladar to land.
With the Wranglers in Calgary, I think we can get Wolf games, and hold onto Vladar if we can't get a good deal for him.I know Wolf hasn't been lights out but I'm still super confident he's going to figure it out. He needs games, though. Love Vladar but it's time to unleash the Wolf.
Y'know, that's actually not something I really thought of. D'oh! That's true. Darth and Wolf can battle it out!!With the Wranglers in Calgary, I think we can get Wolf games, and hold onto Vladar if we can't get a good deal for him.
