Description

You guys can be a particular bunch on here, so this is a feeler, NOT A PROPOSAL. Just a feeler...

It APPEARS you have a need at LHD next season, 2022-2023.

Now, forget what you THOUGHT about Mike Matheson prior to him becoming a Penguin and realize he's completely changed his game around and is KILLING it. Do your research before answering, but realize the Penguins figured out how to utilize him properly and he'd probably be filling a similar role for you.

I understand the contract is a bit much to play on your third pair, but not much more than you're paying Zadorov right now and he's a better dman than Zadorov.

So why am I moving a dman I'm touting so much? Money. The Pens need to free up space, you have SOME space, we have NONE lol. You guys have some nice space to work with next year according to CF and he'd only be $1M more than you're paying Zadorov now unless the plan is to keep Zadorov.

THIS IS JUST FEELING IT OUT TO GET FEEDBACK.

Ok cool. So you guys aren't planning on keeping Zadorov then?

IDK would be nice to have him and Gudbranson on a cheaper deal but it might not happen to let young guys play

You probably have a good chance of keeping Gudbranson on a cheap contract, but Zadorov's physical game ups his price regardless of his actual ability. I figured Matheson/Gudbranson would a dynamite combo for you guys. I really don't want to move Matheson or Pettersson at this point, but the Pens are in a tough spot and need to free up cash.

Zadorov will go to market, I do think the Flames try keep Gudbranson on the right side but that 3LD could be filled by Valimaki hopefully, Mackey desperately or they find a veteran making less than Zadorov to bring in until one of those two guys steals the spot. I think coming out of training camp unless the Flames see a major improvement from Valimaki they will have a guy they sign late in the off season for 800K - 1.5M while Mackey and Valimaki figure it out. If Valimaki doesn't break camp with the team next year I think he's finally trade bait.

Dube is certainly a moveable piece but I think you'd be looking at a Sam Bennett like trade instead that gives Calgary the ability to draft or develop the assets the way that they would like to.
