Thread: Top Potential NCAA Free Agents

I'd love to see one of my two crummy local teams sign one of Merkulov, Meyers, Harris (!) or Mann.

Thread: From a jets fan perspective

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>I really dont like this from ANA's perspective. That seems like way too much for Morrissey. his contract is very scary - it looks like his underlying stats have bounced back this year but I dont know if I trust that to continue over the next 6.5 years. Theres Vlasic-like bad contract potential here imo</div></div>

He'll be turning 33 at the end of his last season. I don't think that's too old for a quality defenseman in the NHL. It's not like it's a Vlasic or Petry or even Karlsson contract.

Thread: Monahan Maybe

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>He will certainly be available this offseason. Not sure what CGY would ask for. The greatest value would likely be the cap relief</div></div>

I agree that it's more likely in the offseason. He will be a tremendous help for a playoff push but he has just been dealt such crappy linemates. He should start to resurge a little with Toffoli on his wing, but Lucic is more of a 9th floor kind of guy at this point.

Thread: Am I drinking the cool aid or do we need to make moves at the TDL

Right now I wouldn't touch the roster: Woodcroft and Manson are working their magic right now and are going to have a more complete picture of what their roster has and lacks up to the deadline. But come the deadline? They should still be adding a top-4 LHD and a netminder. I'd like to see a minute-munching, shutdown RHD added to the fold to take some pressure off of Ceci too, who's been an absolute revelation under Manson.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Broberg and Niemelainen playing in the AHL from the deadline to the end of the Condors' Calder run. Everything I've heard about Broberg is that he's still adapting to the vastly longer schedule than what he was accustomed to in Sweden.

Hot take but I'd trade Smith before trading Koskinen. As you've mentioned, Skinner is wonderful insurance and will be full-time next year. I'm happy with him getting starting volume in California so long as the NHL netminders are sitting at or above a .915sv%.

Gimme some paired combination of Braun, De Haan, Lindholm, Pysyk, Manson,Mayfield, and Soucy with a Holtby or Varlamov brought in over Smith and I'd be pretty content headed into playoffs. Under an 11-7 roster setup improvements to Edmonton's defence and Keith returning (who hasn't been complete ass and would be pushed down a pairing) starts to seem a lot more complete.

Understandable. I don’t think we’ll have you eat money or add assets. But it would be for a small return. Like a 4th or 5th.

Thread: Expensive Extensions

Only critique would be the Kylington contract. He's a UFA after next season so I would think he gets either a 1 year deal or 4+ year deal.

Cant argue that the Flames may have to offer $10M, although I think they will both get $9M

Thread: Expensive Extensions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>The Flames have no leverage with Gaudreau. They used their leverage when he was an RFA, that resulted in him signing for 6 years instead of 8. It was rumoured that 8x8 was the mask on a max term deal. Gaudreau would be the best forward to hit free agency since Panarin, he signed for 81.5 million on a 7yr deal. Gaudreau can make a case for that kind of money.

The Flames don't really have any leverage with Tkachuk either. Everyone knows he's only a year away from UFA if he signs the qualifying offer. It's never easy negotiating with that family, so a massive deal like 10x8 may be the only way to keep him in Calgary.</div></div>

I was arguing for these being decent contracts

Thread: Leafs Need a Scoring Boost

No, so many Leaf fans will still want to trade Mikheyev, Engvall, Kerfoot, Holl and Dermot (average cap 1.9M) cause that group is the cause of all the the Leafs problems, not the 11m players.

Thread: Oilers - Pre Free Agency Realistic Approach

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>That's the issue. With RFA's you are generally paying a little more because you're paying for what a player can be.

I think Yamamoto would want a quite a bit on a 4yr deal. I don't see the Oilers doing that at the moment, which is why I think he ends up round 2.5x2. At that point if he keeps playing great then the Oilers can give him his raise.</div></div>

I can see the best position for both sides is to do around 2x2, I'm not going to complain over 500k to 2.5, just don't think he will get 4M, maybe if its longer like 5 years but 3x3 might be happy middle ground!
