Good catch, sorry guys!

Hofer is awesome. Looking forward to locking him up.

With the Olympics, I would expect will get more games than last year in order to manage Binner's workload going into and coming out of the Games.

I liked the strides he made last year, but there were still a few hiccups.

with that said i wouldnt go more than 3x3 or 2yrs x3.

I would guess any other contract length before I’d guess 3 years. That’d walk him straight to UFA.

overall this will be a quiet offseason. They only have 5M ish dollars. Doubt they resign Faska!

G= Binner, Hofer
D= Cam, Broberg, CP55, Faulk, Leddy, Tucker, Kessel
F BUCH, Thomas, Kyrou
Neighbors, Schenn, Holloway
Snuggy, Devo, Bolduc
Joseph, Texier, Torpo
Walker, Sunny

True but i just dont think anything will Happen

Disagree, respectfully. They have got to get someone who can fill that 2c role.

its called rolling with Schenn one more year with Devo at 3rdC. If Devo proves hes good enough midway through season maybe he takes 2c from schenn. If he needs more time in the AHL or the envision him more as a winger(which I did hear somewhere) then I could see a trade close to the deadline.

I think it will be pretty quiet as well. Sign Hofer, hopefully 2 yrs @ $3.0-3.5m at most. Could see a low key 3c acquisition like Dvorak in order to slide Sunny down to 4th line. Ride out the 7D they have unless they can dump Leddy and pick up a cheaper vet for less $$$ on a 1-year deal. Keep the cap space and LTIR in case they need it for a deadline deal or if someone gets in cap trouble and we can steal a good RD or center. Could also see them trying to dump Texier for a late round pick, and bring up a younger player or Dvorsky.

So Hofer plus what to get Dobson? Hofer, Dvorsky and this yrs #19? How much pain would you endure then how much do you pay Dobson?

The top 9 outside of a center spot is filled idk if DD beats out a winger. He'd have to really impress to earn a spot out of camp could happen but it's 50/50 at best

Actually with Sorokin that doesn't make much sense lol
