I think LTIR will be abused and the league will turn a blind eye as the unspoken workaround. This. And since a potential Seabrook buyout gives the Hawks no real cap relief, moving him out (especially if is better than pre-surgeries) means they are doing it for Colliton. To really turn this around, the team needs to be in the top five of the draft for a couple of years in a row. In that case they need to do a complete restart and move out the core guys, if they can. By the time the next gen is ready, Toews especially and probably Kane will have run out of time. Especially playing for a coach who is allegedly looking at an extension yet has proven nothing.

That Rutta guy is supposed to be good. I'll take him over Koekkoek, Maatta, Seabrook and probably even over 2020 Boqvist.

If only Florida had hired Chiarelli there would be hope for a quicker turnaround... Barkov for instance would have been a nice addition. *sigh*

It's Friday night, so I'm not denying my intake of liquor, but Rutta is not half bad. The team was better with him in it. I'll take him on the third pair any day, especially with the way this team is shaping up. Now, I haven't watched him in Tampa, but in Chicago he played with Oesterle and Forsling and STILL looked decent. And being 7th D on a 2020 Bolts team is not something to be embarrassed about. He would be an upgrade.

Rutta was more a "Q doesn't like him" casualty than anything, no? Like Trevor Daley seemed to be.
Not that he was fantastic or anything, but I seem to remember him being Q's odd man out a fair bit.

That Rutta guy is supposed to be good. He was a spare part for the Lightning.

As least he is not skating in molasses like Maatta. And Boqvist is a weakling defensively. Still not even at the Gustafsson level. A year in the minors would do him well.

Speaking of Gus, he’s a UFA. You know what that means?

Craig Smith would be a solid add.
