BayouBrave86 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 We didn’t miss Mojo one bit this year lol. Orpik had to go with that contract but he was a key piece to the cup run this year. Hopefully he is an assistant for us one day. This tells me Grub had first round value but had to settle on a second with that anchor contract with Orpik. Great trade.

We definitely didn’t miss MoJo at the end and especially since he was hurt. Still don’t want to have to trade cause of cap reasons. Agreed with your analysis on first round value.

Springfield Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I thought nobody would take Orpik’s contract. Thankfully, Colorado exists. I think a second rounder to get rid of that contract is worth it. Besr of luck to both Grubauer and Orpik our there. Hopefully Orpik provides some veteran leadership that Colorado desperately needs.

Kurd Cudins Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 If they buy Orpik out we could always re-sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh8686 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Man it's surreal, but awesome hearing players from other teams, talking about how bad they want the cup during the draft. Take a seat, it's ours. God, that feels so good. We're on the other side of things now. Champions. The Throne is ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Wonder what effect Orpik leaving will have on Kuznetzovs motivation, if any Evgeny is kind of a homely dude, of all people i could see something like this affecting him Oh well good trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got guys in the pipeline, but the question is if they're ready. We tried Bowey last year and he proved not to be ready. Will he be ready this year? Siegenthaler or Johanson?

If Reirdon is the coach then I have faith that he can make whoever the third pairing is to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpik has shown to pair well with Djoos. If he could be had on a cheap one year deal, one would have to entertain the prospect. Injuries will happen and give young guys an opportunity to show their mettle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hopefully Djoos can put on 20 pounds over the next couple seasons. He did great carrying the puck, but he got pushed around a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol' Siegie cut 24 pounds over the offseason by cutting down on Mama's home cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
