What offensive lineman are worth keeping?

After the starters which guys are worth keeping for depth? Anyone paid close attention to the 2nd and string?

Only that has stood out to me is Nate Chandler as he has done an awesome job converting over to LT from a practice squad DT.

After looking over the roster it's going to be rather painless getting down to 53 this year. I just have a hard time of figuring out which backup o-line men suck the least.

Heres the 9 we kept last year after the final cuts.

Gross

Kalil

Hangman

Bell

Silatolu

Williams

Campbell- headed for I.R. this year.

Pollack

Byers

Would you all be willing to throw a nice chunk of change at Brian Waters to lure him out of retirement?

The thought's crossed my mind.

I'd prefer Brandon Moore, but he seems serious about staying home. If he turned down the Cowboys, hard to imagine him signing with us.

(I'd laugh my rump off if he did, though) :lol:

Do we have any tradable assets to help the Oline? I think we do, the only problem is his name is Greg Hardy. Would anyone have a problem trading him for a stud right tackle? I mean a mauler. I think dline is a position of strength and Oline a position of much weakness. Plus Hardy may be gone next year anyway. This year will be a waste if we can't protect Cam.

We have a surplus of talent at DE.

I think Bell and Williams are both worth keeping, but they're definitely not starters. As back-ups, they should be okay. Bell has lots of experience on game day and Garry Williams is a body, so...

 

But how many starters do we have? Kalil, Gross, and... I don't now if Amini is even a starter.

 

Our offensive line sucks.

    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
    • You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
