For the hockey hockey player Shanahan was, certainly made me a huge Shanny fan. Though as a hockey CEO his choosing Dubas over Lou, & allowing Dubas to fire Babcock & hire Keefe were both brutally bad moves. Interviewing the guy that traded Tckchuck for Huberdeau, if I was on the board of MLSE I would immediately recommend the board call for Shanahans resignation.

If Stan & Scotty Bowman & Joel Queenville are not in the mix, then you know Shanhaan is a pretender, he is no Steve Yzerman as a hockey executive.

What has Brad Treliving won ? Well nothing more than Dubas, but has more experience at losing.

Sign as a RFA Samsonov, sign as UFA's Pacioretty, Kane, O'Reilly, Acciari. Offer lower $ but with longer term, to be cap compliant.

Buyout Murray.

Let Bunting, Kampf, Holl & Kerfoot walk in free agency.

3 first Rd picks, Robertson & Niemela to the Predators for ROMAN JOSI, with Nashville retaining 1/3rd of his 9 million dollar salary

Knies Matthews * Kane
* Pacioretty Marner Nylander
* Tavares * O'Reilly Acciari
Jarncrock Holmburg Lafferty

Ist PP : Matthews, Marner, Nylander, O'Reilly & Josi

2nd PP : Tavares ( can play C on the PP ), Pacioretty, Kane, Knies & Reilly

Rielly Brodie
McCabe Josi
Giordano Liljegren
Timmins

Samsonov

* Would play no more than 70 regular season games, would get some rookies occasionally into the line up.


Make the tough decisions move Marner to Centre, & Tavares to the wing.

Interesting take on the tkachuk move, I think he did an amazing job with that, dude says you have me for one more year and I'm out and he turns that into weegar huberdeau and a first. Then signs both guys long rerm, huberdeaus contract looks bad but maybe itll look better under a different bench boss.

Like based off of the terrible hand he was dealt last off season where 2/ 3rds of his top line want out and he runs it back with kadri and huberdeau replacing tkachuk and gaudreau, that's not to shabby with your hands tied. Who could have predicted huberdeau having the largest regression ever in the nhl from one season to the next in points, in his prime. I live in Calgary and the fans here were buzzing about the deals he made in the off season, on paper it should have worked, in practice it didn't.

Treleving is bad choice and it’s a lazy move for shanahan. Like oh he is available I will sign him. Giving Kadri 7 million wasn’t great either. Kadri is in decline.

Mackin… according to you kadri’s deal is bad and he’s declining…. But you wanna trade for him.
