Quoting: BurgerBoss
I read the whole thing...lol. I find it pretty reasonable, although two things that I'd change
1. Why would Dallas just leave good RFA's unsigned? All of Honka, Carrick and Ritchie could get some value if included to trades...would be pretty pointless in my opinion to let them go free. Also I'm pretty sure that Spezza will most likely continue in Dallas. My guess is they make a 2x2 deal.
2. I'd probably sign Lindell long-term. 5x8 would be pretty ideal imo. Lindell's been so good this season, he's worth every buck.
Hayes and Dzingel seem pretty good additions to the team, although I'd prefer Dallas going after even bigger names (Panarin, Duchene, Stone).
Thanks for leading the whole thing lol.
But I was kind of just going off of a general idea looking at what the team could look like next year. and I was going off the idea that none of them would be traded. I think Ritchie does have value and hope that he can be moved at the deadline. Carrick started off great. i though he would be a guy that we could extend and keep for the near future, but he hasn't been the same since his injury. and for Honka I can say the same thing to him as said for Ritchie. I don't mind keeping all 3, but I don;t think any of those 3 guys have a place on the roster next year. if we can re-sign and flip em I am all for it.
For Spezza- we can all agree his best years are behind him, he has had a sharp decline in point production the past few seasons and i was not sure what I was expecting. hes 35 years old. I would rather give younger guys a look. I guess I'd take him back on a 1-year deal to help mentor some of the younger guys.
I agree 100% with you on Lindell. would love to lock him up long term. I would gladly do 5x8
Lastly, like I mentioned in the details, I woud love Panarin, Don't know if Panarin Loves Dallas. I'd be happy with Stone too. Duchene is the only FA that I would not want. That may be an unpopular opinion but that's just me.
