Well, how do you all feel about the signings today?
UFA’s Signed:
Ryan O’Reilly (4 yrs / 4.5m AAV)
Luke Schenn (3 yrs / 2.75m AAV)
Gustav Nyquist (2 yrs / 3.185m AAV)
RFA’s Signed:
Cody Glass (2 yrs / 2.5m AAV)
Alexandre Carrier (1yr /2.5m AAV)
It seems now like dumping Duchene and Ryjo were less about tanking and more about culture and leadership change.
I love the O’Reilly signing. He’s a Cup winner and a great leader. If Trotz wants a culture change, he’s the type of guy to get. Schenn and Nyquist I’m less enthused about… I know the whole team can’t be kids though. I’m just gonna try to sit back and let Trotz work.
Really feels like we’re headed straight for a middle of the pack finish again though doesn’t it?
It does. Burnette is a big x-factor though. Does Forsberg light up shopping with O’Reilly under his leadership. Do the kids develop quickly? Pieces might be there for something stronger. Also, it is just July 2
