For my view on the EK trade… salary on the defensive side is typically something like 8m player 1, 6m player 2, 4m player 3, and kind of tapers. Dallas has Miro at the player 1 level. I don’t think it would be financially wise to add EK, even though he is an amazing player. I would trade EK to a team that could afford him as a player 1.

not too serious
I’ve tossed around the idea that Ryan Suter’s NMC was just so that he wasn’t sent to the minors or waived. I think that he would be open to a trade if the right team called. If you threw in retention from a second team, you could provide a 20 minute a night D for around 1,85m (which is a steal). This could turn into a solid return.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Phleb2</b></div><div>Stankoven cannot be called up until he finishes his season in the WHL. His season will end in June after the Memorial Cup.
Suter has a NMC so you cannot send him down without his OK. This will never happen. The best you could do with him is to use him as a 7 D and let him eat nachos.</div></div>
I think Stankoven could be used, but if he exceeds the 10 game mark he burns a year from his entry level contract. I could be completely wrong though. He will probably join Dallas next season.
You are right about Suter. Maybe a trade if he’s willing.
I could see Guri and Faksa being traded.
Chicago said that they could take on cap, so there could be an option out there. Trade Suter to another cup team with Chicago eating half. He could still reject it, but it isn’t impossible.
It’s plausible to move Guri and Faksa for a defenseman.
I would rather Harley play in the AHL to be a leader for a playoff run there. It would add to his mental development.

Let’s say Dallas wants to hear place an offer for Domi and Lafferty, what could you work with on a Faksa and Gurianov swap? Dallas will need to move cap out, and Chicago will need a gap between now and the new draftees being ready to play.

Blues Fire Sale
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Good question. Capwise, our options are limited. Before we make a decision in that regard, we need to make sure we can afford the target, both short and long term.
If we were to slot this winger to the lineup now, it'd had to be someone that fits to a line with Seguin and Marchment. Segs and Mason bring leadership, offensive prowess and some physicality into a line, but they somewhat lack speed. I think the guy we should go after would be someone that has good legs. Konecny works in this regard imo, but PHI will demand a huge cost for him.
We also need to consider the long-term need. Should we target a rental, and then trust Stankoven to fill that hole long term. Or should we pay up a bit more to get a long-term asset? If we think pure rentals, Patrick Kane obviously comes to mind, but Hawks probably don't want to deal him to a division rival. Kuzmenko, if he's available, is an option to consider as well.
Also, is there a potential option in the market that could be had for a reduced price for some reason. Would that save us cost wise and if it does, how much. Guys like Boeser has been in the rumors for a while, and I wonder if guys like Vrana or Mantha are also available at a cheaper price given their reduced roles in their current teams.
Lots of questions need answering. But it's safe to say it'll be nigh on impossible to find one guy who meshes well with all the mentioned criteria</div></div>
With Texas playing well, I don’t think we will want to mess up the chemistry in the A. Mavrik and Stankoven are keeps. I’m thinking our trade chips are Guri, Faksa, and picks. I don’t think we would move Dobby. He helps Texas out, and winning / playoff runs are good mentally for players in the A.
I think Domi could improve the second line for low cost. Konecny is my first choice, but he might be too much. Boeser would cost too much long term, so there would have to be retention. Same thing with Horvat (who we couldn’t afford to extend). AA could add speed at a low cost. Monahan and ROR have been injured (remember Zuc).
I guess imo the most reasonable would be Domi or Boeser with retention (if Faksa and Guri go the other way). OR Horvat with Guri and Faksa going the other way for cost. If we pulled Horvat without losing Logan, Mavrik, or Harley… I would be impressed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>Either take Faksa AND Dobby or settle for a lesser prospect</div></div>
I would say Guri, Faksa, Mavrik, and 2023 2nd for Konecny. From Philly, I bet they would say that it’s not worth it, but Mavrik (though having a down year due to transitioning to the A) is top 6 potential.
For Stankoven I would need more coming back while shedding, which is the Faksa + Guri move. Stankoven could be NHL ready next season at a cheaper rate than Konecny come playoffs 23-24.

We’ll see I guess.</div></div>
Imagine playing on a line with Benn. He’s still a good player. He has a strong character that could help a younger player. His cap hit hurts compared to his production, but he could teach Wyatt, Ty, Mavrik, or Logan a few things.

Dallas Stars 22-23 Out Of Camp V1
The more I think about it, the Stars could do 2 years at $7mil
The cap should go up in two years, so the offset with Benn’s contract isn’t necessary. Even at that, there might be a move to free up more space. They would want to run a 23 man roster. With that being said, could they go 8 years on Robo while moving Dobby? What would be the cost? Also, if Nils shows high value, in two years he might bank. Does this add to the desire to sign Robo to 8 years?
Is Bourque ready? We know that Ty might miss the start of the season with a broken finger, so do we try one or two of Logan, Wyatt, and/or Mavrik during that gap?
I like the Miro-Nils pairing. I lean more towards Lindell-Miller, but with Miller’s injury history, maybe what you have works. I would just play Suter-Miller less.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SaucePass</b></div><div>Robertson is what you hope Slafkovsky becomes. I’d hate to get rid of Robertson. Throwing in the 23 1st though makes me accept.
I believe I just don’t see Us as a real contender. Build from the back to the front. Let Otter and Heiskanen mature another year. Build around Johnston, Stankhoven and Borque. Add in Slafkovsky and 23 1st and the offense could be absolutely lethal in 2-4 years.</div></div>
That is were I’m at as well. With the Benn and Seguin contracts, I think that locking up the future is just as important as watching the cap. It might be hard to sell the idea to the owner.
When you think about a top 5 ranked pick like Slafkovsky, you’d expect him to be a NHL player this year. Robertson cap hit could involve trades that would cost picks. The team possibly wouldn’t be as good this year coming year, but in a couple years, the team could be blazing.

Idk. Dallas might do this. A 2023 1st and 1OA from 2022. Dallas could spend Robertson’s money on Defense. I would pull the trigger on the deal. In two to three years the team would be pretty damn solid on Offense. As a Dallas fan knowing how good Robertson is, I would really consider this deal.

How to make Robertson work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>In order of probability, I'd have:
1) Johnston
2) Bourque
3) Stankoven
With Kamloops hosting the Memorial Cup Tournament this year, I've got Dallas sending Stankoven back to the WHL for one more year. Gives him guaranteed postseason, high-stakes postseason experience and it could potentially allow him to get a little bit of work on one of the wings. Of the 3, he's the most likely to make the transition away from Center. This would give him the chance to get used to it before bringing him into Dallas or Cedar Park.
Bourque can play in the AHL this year, which is where I think he'll end up starting. He may be a mid-season call up, especially if Johnston ends up back in the OHL.
Johnston should at least get a 9-game tryout, in my opinion. He's the most NHL ready of the 3 and plays the most NHL-ready game.</div></div>
I agree. I think Wyatt is in unless something crazy happens. Mavrik get a step up to Texas, and he might be a call up. Logan should replace Pavs on the top line, imo.
*edit… Logan replaces Pavs when his contract expires.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>I’m dialing back on the Suter hate. Faksa is still on my list. I don’t have much patience left when it comes to him. DB better have all the defensive plugs on the fourth line getting fourth line minutes. If Faksa and Glendening are on different lines there will be no secondary scoring. Dell will not reach his potential playing RW. He’s a center. I’m cautiously optimistic but I can just as easily see this season being garbage. Doubt we will have the cap space to chase Severson or Weegar even if they make it to free agency</div></div>
I like Faksa, but not in the system we were in under Bones. His defensive game didn’t shine because everyone played defense. He is a damn good face-off man who does his part in his own zone. With the players we have on the roster, he isn’t necessary. Both Guri and Faksa could benefit from a new start.
NJ wants a wing for Severson. Guri played limited minutes under bones due to flaws in his defensive game. Not to say that he is a defensive liability, but under bones the base structure was defense first. Guri never had a chance. NJ could benefit from his speed and style of play. Plus he plays RW. I think that is there need.
What would it take to get Severson? Add a pick if there is an extension? Severson might play third pair minutes in NJ. Is his value there for the future. Is NJ his future after this season, since he will be an UFA? Would it be best for NJ to trade now rather than down the road with a reduced workload which could negatively impact his value?
What would it take?

With Seider in Detroit and an inquiry on Petry, you’d have to think Hronek is out. I could be wrong, but I believe Hronek’s name floated around in the rumor mill this past season or the year before.

I’ve also recently heard Petry tied to Detroit. It doesn’t make sense for Detroit without a package and retention. Also, Hronek was in the rumor mill within the past year.
