We are such a good team. It's ridiculous. Best start to a game that we've had all season. This game could EASILY be 3-0 right now if we had a couple of bounces go our way. We keep this up and we'll win just by virtue of puck possession. Forecheck is absolutely unreal.

God I hope we can get a deal done with Semin past this season

Oh we will. That chemistry for that line is too good to break up. We HAVE to keep that line. Keep that line in tact and keep Jordan Staal. If we let anybody go for cap space, Jussi and Rosie are odd man out. Semin has been SO big for us.

      We signed Lloyd

      I don’t think we would spend that kind of money on a LB that can’t play all 3 downs. It said he played 331 coverage snaps last year and only gave up one TD so him not being a coverage LB seems kinda like BS?

      Moton should be back in 27 just due to the guarantees. I can't see us cutting him and eating that cap hit. Trade might be a bit different, but how many teams trade for 20m tackles?  I wouldn't be surprised to see us take 2 this year, 1 in the first and one in the 4th that has potential to play inside if they don't develop as quickly. Our line is awfully thin atm with the unknown injury Hunt got during the postseason. Even if Hunt's ok, we still lack depth. I could see is walking away from this draft with 2 tackles and a center, especially if we move down to pick up an extra 3rd or 4th.

      He was so up and down for 4 seasons. They declined his 5 year option for a reason  Oloukon has been their LB1.  Evero loves to send pressure so my guess is if Lloyd is going to be used a 3 down back here he’ll be blitzing on 3rd down a lot. Would’ve liked to have signed someone a lot quicker if that’s the case. Lloyd isn’t very explosive. Used to be
