Thread: RFA SIGNING GAME 1 ROSTER

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chips_n_beer</b></div><div>I watched about 10 Kings games last year, and my honest opinion is he is the worst defenseman in the league</div></div>

No arguments there but pride is a definite factor and I don't know if he would just retire.

Thread: ras to det

If you need different numbers, how about a 47.8% Corsi on a just shy of 47% ozone start, with a -3 relative Corsi. His best year was last year with a 1 relative Corsi on slightly shelter minutes (53% ozone start). He was on the ice for over HALF of all the goals scored on BUF last year, playing with 3 different sets of partners (since the partners changed, but the results remained the same, the constant is the problem).

If he was really that good, BUF wouldn’t be trying to pawn him off, and if he was really that good, teams would be jumping at him. Since BUF Is trying to move him, and can’t find takers, that should tell BUF fans that he isn’t worth much.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonnymc26</b></div><div>if 41 points is under achieving for a d man your expectations are ridiculous</div></div>

Ok a defenseman who had 43 points last year but was a -41 and making over 5 million is not under achieving then what is? He was touted as top 2 guy but his contract and play do not measure up. He is a defensive liability, period. Wings do not need that kind of a player for a player who had 41 points, a -8, younger, and on a better deal as he is still a RFA after next year.

There isn’t a team in the league that would trade a top 6 for Ristolainen. No chance.

:laugh :laugh Rasmus Ristolainene is a one dimensional Dman, Sure he'll put up 50 points or so but sucks at D. Take far more then just Risto to get Mantha out of Detroit period. Detroit has no use for a one dimensional Dman.

That is like saying he is the only tire that is inflated on a car that does not move. Useless. Their is zero chance Wings trade Mantha for Risto.

To much money for an under achieving defenseman, something the Wings know alot about under the past regime.

LMAO Sabres fans over-value their players even more than Red Wings fans. Rasmus Ristolainen is Justin Schultz level bad from when he got traded to PIT in 2016, although he offers the physicality of Gudbranson. So he’s worth a 2nd rounder at best.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>Nylander sat first couple of months of the first year. With Marner you don't really have that option.</div></div>

Which puts MORE pressure on the Marner camp, not the Leafs, the Leafs don't have the cap space for a pro-rated salary like they did with Nylander getting a 10+ million cap hit. so if Marner missing even a couple of weeks, it's more likely the Leafs would sit him for the year. No other team has an offer sheet for him and only a couple of teams have the cap space to accept a trade to sign him at his price. Dubas is actually winning this battle, not Ferris.

Thread: Opening night roster Vegas

Holden isn't a top 4 D so he'll likely be a scratch/waived/traded if everyone is healthy. They'll have one of the rookies in the lineup on defense, and Glass will probably start in the AHL and one of Brown/Roy will make the roster. Carrier won't be a healthy scratch and they'll probably waive Zykov if Gusev isn't there.

Karlsson-Smith and Eakin/Nosek-Stone should be their go-to PK forwards.

Yeah I was very surprised when I heard that was what they were asking for. The guy is going to be an elite player in the league by December but there are so many ignorant people afraid of the “Russian factor”.

Go back a couple years and imagine what teams would have gave up if they know how good Panarin was going to be? Gusev is very similar to Panarin. Less goal scoring ability but better playmaking.

Nobody ever asks for exactly what they'll accept. Always a little higher. Negotiation can and more times than not bring down the cap hit they originally were asking for. Its not like Gusev has a ton of options. If he did than he could stand pat at 4M until someone finally signs him. He doesn't. Its Vegas or KHL.

I get what you mean but its not like OP offered 1.5M for 4 years. Its pretty close and very much a possibility man. I think your overreacting for nothing.

Thread: Moves

Demelo is trash. Any one of their rookie Dmen would be better. Giving up a 2nd and a 3rd in addition to this is crazy.

Gusev for a 3rd liner is putrid.

None of these moves make any sense. Why would you trade Reaves plus a 2nd and a 3rd if you're moving Gusev?
