Thread: Just Buying time to Rebuild

Stepan would be interesting, 2C for the year, then flip at TLD for more assets.

However, taking him on, taking Hossa's contract, I would hope would get more than 2 2nd round picks. Especially if we sending a pick their way.

Thread: hopes

Like the VAN deal (agree that I don't think money would be going back to VAN though)...

Way too low on money for Bert and Mantha.

Why is Vesey getting more money than Krug?

Thread: 2nd chance players

I've done AGMs where I traded for Strome's rights.... hoping he'd be a 2C option for the future.

I think I offered Svech, which did not go over well with CHI fans. ha.... do they might say no to this too.

Ya saw on DailyFaceoff he was playing wing on the 3rd line... but when you have Mac and Kadri as 1/2 C, maybe he needs the opportunity.

What's Jost's career projection? Not too familiar with him. Could he grow into a legit 2C? Then I would think about this deal.... if he's a bottom six.... no.

Agree- value is probably there. I just don’t see spending assets to add another bottom six forward to the mix. We have plenty of those.

Wings got a 2nd for one year of 5.7 for Staal. So three years of 5.75 would be more than a 4 and a 5th.

Seems like a lot of words to report that a phone call was made. I'm sure with a new GM in BUF, every team has called to ask who is available.

I think Bob wanted attention today.....

Thread: Lundqvist buyout Markstrom rossi

I didn’t mind the move. TOR had to Give up a 1st to get rid of 6M. So a 2nd rounder for taking on less than that seems about right.

Thread: New idea

Pass on the DET trade. Don’t need more aging bottom six players and moving from 4th to 3rd rounder isn’t enough incentive to take them.

AA on WAS would be interesting. However If EDM isn’t giving him his Qualifying offer at 3M, then I don’t see teams giving him more than that.

Don't hate these moves. Fills 2C on the short term, gain prospects and picks, use our cap space..... all moves we should be doing.

Like palhal said, maybe look for players that don't have NTCs.

Also - Not sure why Frans is on LTIR

I'd rather DET sign a G at FA, than give up assets for one.

Also - you trade Tuch, then stick the guy you get for him at 4C? Not seeing that as an improvement.

Thread: Now We Know Hornys Value

I'm not going to pretend like i watch enough FLA to know the in and outs of Matheson. Everyone says he's garbage.

Forget his contract.... is he really that bad as a player? Or does his contract bias people's opinion of the player (like most questionable deals).

Thread: Respectability

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>i keep hearing he isnt good from Detroit fans and shouldnt be on an NHL roster</div></div>

I think DK not being an NHL player is a bit harsh. Part of the problem is he is (along with most the team), plays above their level. So hes probably a 3-4 Dman, but forced to play top line minutes and against players top players. So if he was correctly slotted, it would help.

I would disagree with the he's 'garbage'. He's been injury prone the past few season, that's more my issue. Can't stay healthy.

Based on the TOR/CAR Marleau deal that send 6M of cap to CAR for a 1st rounder....... 2 years of 6M should be same if not more.

Thread: Moving up in the Draft

I've heard a lot of NAS fans saying they'd rather deal with Turris' contract rather than give up 11OA. So get ready for that.

From a DET Fan perspective, I would think taking on 4years of 6M would result in 11OA by itself, if not more. After all, TOR got a 1st for taking on 6M of Marleau, and that one only one year. So FOUR years of 6M should mean more in return. That's how I look at it.

But taking on Turris to get 11OA, maybe not make that move until NAS is on the clock.... to make sure you get who you want. Askarov?!?!?

Thread: just an idea

About Puljujärvi - I remember Yzerman shipping out Drouin from TB because he was whining (was it holding out?) because it sounded like Drouin wanted more ice time or something than what he was deserving.

So I don't think Yzerman is going to bring someone like that into a team of his. He's big on "everyone works for ice time". You get what you deserve.

Thread: just an idea

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>It would have to be something special, I would consider it for a bunch of different scenarios. If say stutzle and byfield are both gone and we trade back to 8 with buffalo and acquire buffalo 2nd and one of Matias Samuelson or Ryan Johnson, then take askarov at 8?

If it's just straight up trading the 4th pick for something it would have to be a ridiculously overpay. Sergechev + cirelli + prospect type of deal</div></div>

I think if we're at 4, and Byfield and Stuzle were gone, (still a pipedream OTT does something crazy at 3 to leave us one of those two), if Rossi/Raymond/Perfetti/Drysdale were still there trading back a spot or two to gain more picks would be ok. As long as we get one of the 'top rated' prospects everyone debates in that range, gain assets to move back is only a good thing.

About Mantha - I saw on the interwebs (so it has to be true), that Mantha's deal was 5-6 years, at 5.5-6M range. But Yzerman keeps his cards so tight to his chest, I don't really believe any 'rumors' out there when it comes to wings. If Yzerman gets Mantha 5-6years at under 6M, hes a genius. I really expected him at an AAV more than Larkin (6.1M), because of the premium on goal scoring.

Torchek was just an idea on improving C depth.... I could see your point if CAR doesn't need to get rid of him.
I'm a little light on the return for him too if I'm being honest.
