Are there any UFAs we would be realistically targeting still?

Are there any UFAs we would be realistically targeting still?

Hiii!! With our cap situation, I'm curious to know if anyone has any thoughts on any UFAs that would be a good fit for us? Or do the roster we have currently be more likely to be the mostly finalised version instead?

Haven't heard much about that from any sources other than that we aren't pursuing Laine.

Also I am genuinely so shocked that Tarasenko hasn't been signed yet, could it be because he's asking for too much money?? I would love it if somehow still worked out with him and the wild, he was great last season.

Rest In Peace Mrs. Weinberg

With the recent passing of quinn's grandmother, I hope nobody reads much into whether an extension is signed or not anytime soon, as russo's information of guerin meeting him in michigan might be outdated now.

The contract drama and all the back and forth with the devils fans has been very tiring and the best we can do as fans is to just give them space.

I am sure that quinn and guerin will get it done, I will only get worried when it's the trade deadline approaching.

what does "another team" entail here?

Hii! The above extract is from Russo's Q&A with John Hynes and the question was about how to strengthen our penalty kill.

This is my off-season curiosity rearing it's head and I wanted to ask if anyone had any idea about what "another team" means here, is it another NHL Team, Iowa Wild, an NCAA Team or?? Additionally, if it's an NHL team is this even allowed [Not saying that there is something wrong with it btw, I am just surprised as it's my first time hearing something like this]

Edit: I mean the implication of active collaboration, not just watching tapes.

yeah he's 100% staying

genuinely can't see a scenario where he doesn't extend for atleast a few years, if the end goal is to play with his brothers then it won't matter if it's right now or in like 2030 [and where contrary to popular belief, they will all still be of an age where they will be impact players], by that time luke would have had enough time to properly develop too and sunny's capabilities as the GM would have been put to test based to show if njd is serious about a cup or not.

our cup window is now, we have a great core that was already competitive despite a few glaring holes [and in any other division we easily make it to conference finals] and guerin better get to cooking this summer to get us the missing pieces.

and frankly I'm tired of every 3rd article/post I'm reading be about whether quinn stays or leaves, this topic has been discussed to death, he's not zach parise, the situation with vancouver was wildly different with people in charge who had no vision or clear direction for the future or winning, his brothers are going to have long careers alongside him. he seems to be getting along great with the guys here and liking the fact that fans are passionate about hockey without the pressures of canadian media at his throat, amongst other reasons. spurgey has created an amazing atmosphere in the locker room and it's immediately clear how much happier he seems.

We are 2-0 with Jack Hughes in the building

Funny timing but both the times where the opposing team had an opportunity to have 3 series wins against us (Dallas Game 4 & Avs Game 3) and Jack was there supporting Quinn, we actually won!

The very clear and totally non-superstitious conclusion here is that he must simply be present at every game from here on out, idc how he works out the logistics

Man this was so incredible to watch from hughes, I am a newer fan but from the games I've seen, it's not at all exaggerated what a game changer he is when it comes to keeping the blue line.

All our players were absolute powerhouses today, hope we carry this energy into game six and finish the series at home.
