@TuskedUp @CleanHitsHockey Not signing Ladd, Yamamoto & Hayton.. it’d free up $16.5 million.. more than enough to fit him in the roster.. having a U23 top 6 core of Fantilli, Cooley, Guenther, Iginla..

+ Keller & Schmaltz

Ugh.. irritate myself for no reason

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@TuskedUp @CleanHitsHockey On another note.. I wish BA looked into a trade for Adam Fantilli - it’d be rich but let’s say Desy, Belchetz, Hayton’s RFA rights+ going the other way

Keller Fantilli Schmaltz
Guenther Cooley Trocheck
Crouse Iginla But

That’s a Lord Stanley top 9..

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic With the salary cap at $104M .. 1.75M is 1.6% of the cap😂.. exactly the cap hit of what a 13F should make… sidenote.. 4th liners: Mcbain makes 4.25M, Stenlund makes 2.75M..

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic But? the 6’5, 1st round pick? Yes, he will definitely take priority over KM, the career AHL/bottom 6F 😂. No clue why you think KM is top 6 when he was healthy scratched about a dozen times last year.. and the team got better! Yes, Iginla will probably start AHL, but not long

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Idgaf about any made up “chemistry” if you scored 20 points last year 😂😂… You can definitely can run two centers on the same line. If you knew anything, you’d know Iginla & Schmaltz were actually drafted as centers

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Because it’s terrible to have depth right? 13F doesn’t exist

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Yams makes 1.75 AAV.. that literally proves my point.. why would BA pay more for Mcbain 4.25 AAV, Lee 5.4m, Hayton 4.775m, Crouse 4.3… if he thought KM was more valuable.. good day bud 😂😂 get out of here

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Because they can’t find a spot for him.. that automatically puts him on the line with Cooley and Guenther 😂 alright bud. Glad you’re not in charge. Literally had 20 points last year. I’ll spell this one out for you.. a top 6 is expected to score at least 40 points so 2x KM total

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Because they literally didn’t have any other option. Hayton was hurt and Peterka didn’t work out. So again, this year they add Hayton back, acquire Trocheck, Crouse, But, and have 6th ovr Iginla chomping at the bit. Don’t understand how you think a career 0.4 PPG player is top6

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Cooley and Guenther need a veteran presence bully with speed (85th percentile).. that’s why Trocheck actually makes a lot of sense. If they wanted a #1 C.. I guarantee they would have gone a different route. Can switch draws with Cool. Lee is LW#3. More Toughness

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic Cooley Guenther x
Keller Schmaltz x
Those parings are set. To think Yan is getting top 6 over any of Trocheck, Crouse, Hayton, Lee, But, Iginla is delusional. BOY 28yo who’s had 42 pts last 3 years combined. End of story. Last year alone.. Trocheck had 53. Lee had 42. Crouse 44

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @BuckPanic You don’t think the GM’s opinion holds weight? 😂 He just says stuff for fun, you’re right!

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic And I was here before 2020 bud. Before the rebuild began 😂… So if you’ve been following the rebuild.. you’d know that they have only drafted 1 player under 6’0.. Cooley and Keller already undersized.. they can’t have 5’8 Yanamoto.. who AGAIN had 20 POINTS LY.. they got bullied

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @BuckPanic He’s going to play wing because that’s what Bill Armstrong said he acquired him to do? I’m confused. Also not rocket science to take the draw and switch back to wing. Schmaltz had a better Faceoff win % then Cooley

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @x_skils64201 @BuckPanic lol right.. cause he’s just going to say that for fun!😂 You don’t think he communicates with Tourigny? You don’t think BA can fire Tourigny? Clearly you haven’t because Yamamoto is 5’8. Had 20 pts LY. Not a top6 F. It’s as simple as that. Uneducated nonsense

[Colt @COLT40Five]

@JohnDoe01373802 @BuckPanic Apologize. I thought clause was in contract. Either way GMs don’t want player playing majority of 3rd yr ELC in AHL

Crouse*- Schmaltz - Keller
Guenther - Cooley - Trocheck
But* - Hayton - Iginla*
Mcbain - Stenlund - Lee*

* = interchangeable

Not saying these are Day one lines
