Thread: What can the Sharks give Timo Meier to make him look past his qualifying offer

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>That is hilarious</div></div>

I’m not saying he’s worth that just that he will look that way. Especially given the fact his QO is $10 m. I think we could see him sign for like 8 x $9 m.

Thread: What can the Sharks give Timo Meier to make him look past his qualifying offer

Better off just trading him for max return. It’s a bad roster, multiple bad contracts, a few good pieces in pipeline. Go full rebuild. They are not going to compete for few years anyway. Great uniforms at least, they killed it there.

Thread: What is Dvoraks real value

Right now, not much value. Not because he isn't worth it but because so few teams have cap space and the pressure to add a player like Dvorak right now. If Hughes is smart, he'll hold on to Dvorak till a few weeks in when injuries and player performances are in. By then he could be worth a lot more than the probable 3rd rounder he'd get right now.

Thread: PLEASE NO MORE SANDIN LUNDKVIST TRADES

I dont think the idea of the swap is particularly bad, though it probably won't happen end of the day. He's an upgrade on both Hajak and Jones. Plus Jones can be sent down without needing to pass waivers.

The overall value of the 2 players is pretty close too. I also doubt Sandin gets 2M, IMO he's at most earned 1.5M

Thread: Barrie

Regardless of who you think the better player is, it would be silly for the Isles to trade their RD3 making $1.45M for an RD3 making $4M the next two years . That cap should be reserved for making the team better elsewhere.

Thread: Barrie

Look IK Scott Mayfield isn’t the most exciting name that could end up on the trade block by the deadline. But he’s dirt cheap even without retention, he’s played top four minutes with both Leddy and Toews. He played top four last year BEFORE Pulock was hurt and then played with Pelech while Pulock was hurt. The dude has flat out proven he can play top four minutes and win playoff games. He shouldn’t be worth less than what Manson or Chiarot got at the deadline. This deal just hurts the isles cap situation and it probably makes them significantly worse too.

Thread: We Ball

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>Maybe things will be different with Lambert but one of my least favorite things about this team over the last two seasons is how obvious it's been that the 4th line is absolutely cooked and how much they continue to praise/value it on and off the ice. Collectively, they have like one strong game out of 10. You would think that instead of running them into the ground every night, they would look to evolve and build an even better version of them, but they don't unless they're forced to. Truly hope this changes under Lambert since they were such a massive asset in 18-19 and 19-20</div></div>

Cizikas used to be a great 3C, but he has fallen off a cliff. Martin is cooked and clutterbuck is ok. The issue is they went from being great on the forecheck to spending most of their ice time scrambling in the defensive zone. They actually lose momentum for the isles because they have become so easy to play against.

I really hope they put Bailey down there and just play that line 5 min per game. Let the top 9 get most of the ice time like a normal team does

Thread: We Ball

Having the cap space going into the season is a goo thing since it will accrue during the season and allow the Isles to add a player at the TDL that other teams may not be able too with their cap.

Eh I would rather bellows or Parise go on LW4. Bailey is pretty useless now but he can still produce 30-45 points. Get him to 1000 games than trade him

Thread: We Ball

I feel like I wouldn't want to play this team in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see what Lambert gets out of them. I think they're still a very good team. They never quite recovered from playing all those road games to start last season.

Thread: Replacing Klingberg

Why do people value Barrie so highly? He’s a defensive liability at 5 on 5, and all of his point totals are inflated by playing with Mcdavid and Draisaitl on the power play.

Sure I don't disagree. But getting Romanov gives Dobson a potential lifetime defensive partner.

Honestly, I'm still very happy with the Romanov trade for NYI. I'd do that 10 times out of 10.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Or Lou might actually get something in return for Bailey. I haven’t given up hope yet.</div></div>

I would be ok with moving Bellows as there really is not spot for him, and move Koivula up who can play anywhere in the bottom 6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CHAR</b></div><div>Unfortunately the teams that could take Bailey... whether that is ANA, ARI, CHI, etc... don't care two craps about what Bailey could do in the playoffs because none of them will make the playoffs. The only thing these teams care about is the two years of term on his contract.

What a crazy, never seen before off season is all I can say.</div></div>

I agree. I don’t think most of us view these guys as cap dumps tho. I’m assuming that if Lou would pay to dump Bailey he would’ve done it before free agency tho. That’s what he did with Ladd.

I’m telling y’all that I don’t think Bailey gets dumped by Lou. That isn’t an opinion based on this off season. That’s just my opinion of Lou. He def would undervalue a young superstar d man like Toews. But do you really think he would undervalue a veteran forward?!?!?! He loves those!!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Let’s put it this way. There are writers out there who insist Josh Anderson has value but James Van Reimsdyk and Josh Bailey don’t. I don’t think anyone knows what the **** they r talking about rn.

Line with JVR I get why moving his cap hit would be difficult cause of his high AAV. With Bailey I’m a little less certain cause Bailey has had decent playoff production as recently as the 2020-2021 season. I think it’s very hard to evaluate guys playing in Trotz’s system because it sucks the life out of both teams on the ice lmao.</div></div>

Dude, Anderson has crazy high value. Just look any any Habs acgm for proof. Lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>Now that Tkachuk has been traded and a team trying to get Tarasenko has no leverage in trade negotiations, I’d rather pass on him and wait until next offseason to get him as a UFA.

They still don’t have leverage. Just ask the Blue Jackets lol.
