Thread: Moves To Make If Keith And Smith Retire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZachHymanForTheHart</b></div><div>In regards to the trades and team itself.

The trades aren’t bad. I did see a rumour that Seattle would be interested in Barrie should he be available. Also pretty fair price to dump Kassian/acquire Soucy, IMO.

I’m not sure if Foegele would get a 4th, but he would definitely have positive value throughout the league somewhere. So that one is pretty good as well.

I’m pretty sure I heard that Kane is looking for $7M in Edmonton and $8M+ anywhere else. $6.5M wouldn’t be out of the question, but I don’t know if it’s enough for him considering rumours about him.

I think Smith comes cheaper than that, tbh. Maybe $4M - $4.5M. I’m not 100% sure though, he’s a tough one to judge.

I think Yamamoto is going to get more $$ and term. Holland seems to be set on him.

I also think Puljujarvi gets more $$ and term, but not in Edmonton unfortunately. He seems to have fallen out of favour with Holland.

I also think that’s too much for Husso. Maybe $4.5 for 1 year as a prove yourself type things before a longer contract. I’m not sure lol

I also think that’s wayy too much for Aston-Reece. He was used as a cap dump in the Rakell trade. Not saying he was a cap dump or doesn’t have value, but that is how he was valued at the TDL. My guess would be anywhere from $1.25M - $1.75M.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk lmao</div></div>

Yeah the thing is with free agency though most players chase the bag and will try to get as much as they can. Smith is for sure only worth 4.5M at the most but teams will want his offensive presence in the Top9.

Puljujarvi I can also agree with. He's either going to stay for another year to prove himself, bt if that's not the case we trade his rights for something we need.

Kane will get aroud 6.5-7M but if 7M was his asking price I think you could lower it down a bit.

The ZAR and Husso signings will honestly be around there. Free agents love chasing the bag and I'm sure Holland would overpay a couple of guys since EDM isn't the biggest market.
