Sounds like Pouliot headed to Ottawa

[Disturbed]

They want him, will make strong offer, he is from the area and his brother plays minor leagues there.

I figured he was gone. He was good here but is replaceable. Hey we wont miss his offensive zone penalties

We finally had a third line worth talking about...

AV should get GS to go after Raymond, though he may get what Pouliot is.

 

[Disturbed]

Agreed SC - I think they can get Raymond for 2-2.5m. Maybe 2 years/4.5-5. He played 1 year/1m last year in Tor

Pouliot will get 3/9

Had a good year but is very replaceable and was also playing to save his career. Have to let him go at that price.

I don't like Pouliot getting more than 2 years tops. If he gets 3 years ffrom Ottawa or Pitt, so be it. If his cap hit is more than low 2's so be it as well. I wouldn't go 5 mill for 2 years given our cap situation.

And for the record I really liked the Pouliot signing last summer, but he is not going to suddenly explode with a 2 or especially a 3 year contract. I can see him getting lazy on a 3 year deal.

I think he is a 15 or so goal 35 or so point guy max, and won't ever be much better than that.

I like the signing last year as well and I really liked the season he had. He played hard and had great chemistry with his linemates but with the cap situation and his history you have to let him go. Best of luck Benoit, good effort in NY but to quote our old pal Jeter, WE MOVE ON NOW
