Does Chicago have anything we need as far as a player or draft pick or is this just a salary dumpQuote:

I'd be highly upset if the Flyers made a significant long term commitment to Strome.Quote:

There's also a rumor of Sanheim for Nylander going around out there...
Great deal for Myers. Home run with no downside.Quote:

I don't buy it, but I wanted to start fueling some season talk with the season actually starting a month a 4 days from now. lolQuote:

Yeah, at least the birds will get a nice pick at the top of the draft unless they do that thing where they win out and ruin their chances at a great WR (JaMarr Chase) or LB (Drew Seers or Micah Parsons).Quote:

Couturier’s deal has been one best contracts in the NHLQuote:

Wasn't that back in 2015? Like I said, been a long time...Quote:

Lindblom -- Definitely not an "obvious win" contract. It's a low risk/high reward contract. Cancer and chemo is not an injury you overcome. I have confidence he will, but it's not an obvious win.
Myers -- Is a young defenseman that was arguably our best defenseman in a lot of games (not most, but I would say 10-15) last season. He also performed pretty well in the playoffs. He addresses a need as a RHD as well. Getting a top 4 (at worst) d-man for 3 years and under 3AAV is an obvious win in my opinion.
