What I think Pat wants this offseason

Hirose will be under $1M
Hoglander will be under $1M
That is WAAAAYYYY too much money for Compher
Would be a W if we could get that much for Garland, especially since we wouldn't be taking money back.

Too much for a 3rd line center

Schenn will get much more and he is not a good option for the top pair

I don't think schenn will, he's an older bottom pair defenseman. If he does it'll be shocking like gudbranson getting that deal in Columbus.

I actually think that Hirose deal is good if he'd sign it. It's an overpay next year but 4 years at a tiny cap hit is killer if this kid is the next Chris Tanev. Same thing with hoglander, if the Canucks see him as a top 9 guy, that's a good cap hit on a 3 year term. I really don't like the Compher deal though, that's an over pay. Can't do big deals like that until Peteys and hrony are re-signed

I think that our best bet for long term value is a long and low deal, can be buried aside from 100k - and that will be probably settled this off season when it will be completely buryable. It’s a risk yes, but if we could do this, and then reap the benefits for 4 years that would be huge

Comphear’s best comp is copp, and JTC fits all our needs for a 3C and he could slide up to a winger position if needed, he’s great at the dot, he’s a great PK guy, and can contribute offensively, I would love to have him lower, but I think he is a guy that Patty will look at

I think so too on the garland front, but it would be a fit for WASH as if they have a top line with Strome and Ovie they will need a playmaking winger who comes in at a reasonable hit who can play top line mins
