Wennberg just works. He works, and works, and works. -

No fucking way. NO FUCKING WAY -
There is. The SoCal AHL teams all draw well, and SD is a huge metro area with very little pro sports coverage.

The source is ESPN SoCal, so this isn't just some schmuck with a microphone. Apparently the Kroenke family wants to bring hockey to San Diego.

NHL Expansion: Back to Atlanta?
LindG1000 replied to RichieNextel305's topic in Hockey Around the Globe
Atlanta's making the case. Anson Carter leading the charge for them. -
My dude, what they do to bagels, and what they do to SELL bagels is hilarious. Place about a mile from when I lived in North Florida was like "oh, we have a machine that makes NYC water so when we boil them, it's the same", and then they had pork roll and taylor ham on the menu which was sketch AF. Another one is like. importing water from Brooklyn.

I'm not saying Roslovic is or isn't the answer. I'm saying that this UFA market is rather unique because of the cap considerations many players made last year, so if you're going to plunk $5m on a guy, you have options. Lots of them. And if you're in the $5m range, you're in range for a lot of different options of varying timelines and skills. And that may crunch further as the 2024-25 cap picture becomes clear. For me, the question is more along the lines of "If I decide I have $5m to spend, is the best answer right in front of us, and is it Jack Roslovic?" Or is it Mantha? Or is it Arvidsson? Or is the market crunch just enough to make Toffoli or Tarasenko options? Do we want someone a bit more multifaceted and think about Sean Monahan or Matt Duchene or Joe Pavelski? Maybe we go a smidge downmarket and grab Debrusk. Or maybe we can use Kakko and the 1st rounder to pull a solid RW out from a team on the precipice of a rebuild that makes around the $5m mark?
-
Your point stands that we shouldn't let Kakko keep standing in the way of fixing 1RW. He either needs to shit or get off the pot there. Still, this is a market that has some room for $5m to perhaps go "further" than Jack Roslovic, so I wouldn't make the choice of looking at this as an either-or. I'd rather look at it asking what $5m gets us in a flooded UFA market.

Cuylle moving over to let a rookie have a more natural transition is also an option. For a Berard or an Othmann, that might be the best decision we can make. Though, your point about a logjam is well taken. We're deeper at LW than...I'd guess most any system in the league.

Usually, yeah, but the cap increase opens the door some. There is at least some reason to think that a middle-of-the-lineup addition who excels on the team might be brought back for a year or two at a reasonable cost, given market dynamics. Of course, since most teams have already spent that cap overage on RFAs, the Wennbergs and the Roslovics of the world will get the squeeze.
