Feels like an underpay for Sanheim

This would make me very happy. Doubt CAR wants Faulk back tho haha

Ummm I might do that Sanheim trade. Sorry GMDannyB. Perunovich and Sacha Boisvert are nice building blocks.

XXX-York
Perunovich-Drysdale
Seeler-Risto

No Pesce please.

Also, i'm not sure it makes sense to grab Sanheim even still without trying to include Krug in there again. That's still a jumbled mess of alot of term.

I would drive him there myself if we got this offer

Did Sanheim fall off a cliff or something?

I dont think so. He was very aggressive early in the season and looked great. I think in the right situation; he will thrive more. Flyers would trade him for the cap space and building blocks.

No but I think that’s a fair return for him. If anything he fell off a cliff last season and then came back and probably had his best season as a pro this year. Still I’m not quite sure Torts is sold on him and I don’t really know where he fits long term in our defense with York/Bonk/Drysdale/Andrae coming up and probably us drafting another defenseman this year combined with the fact Seeler and Risto are signed for the next 3 years each.

The Flyers wanted a 1st for him at the draft last year and he just came off a great year compared to a pretty terrible year last year so if they wanted a 1st for him last year they would probably like this offer this year.

I would take it for sure. We are still rebuilding and getting out from long-term contracts is exactly what we should be doing.

Why not Pesce? Seems like a reliable top 4 RHD that is more defensive oriented than Faulk. Hard to move Krug (especially to PHI where he rejected already). Army felt Sanheim would be a fit last offseason, so why not this one.

Imo biggest problem with Sanheim and Konecny is that they're too good for rebuilding team, preventing us to actually get top picks.

another Hayes to the penguins that's sure to be rejected.

I'm not sure defensive oriented is our whole issue. Pesce's skating has been going, and while he's a reliable player or has been for a while, he doesn't help with our inability to be able to break the puck out. In this situation you're also essentially paying him 8m a year with the retention on Faulk for 3 years.

Fair enough. I think we'd all love to move Krug/Faulk without retention but that is difficult to do when they can basically pick their destination (for one more year). We don't have many top 4 D prospects besides maybe Lindstein and he is likely 2 years away - so gotta sign someone to eat those minutes because I am not putting Kessel into 20 min a night for a full season.

Not at that cap hit.

If Armstrong is serious about moving him, Faulk has to waive his NTC and DA probably has to retain some salary. Not sure that either happens.
