Cant wait for the bashing comments2
Yeahh.. dont think ARZ is interested in taking all that cap.
I also doubt Rust waives to go to Canada and dont think Pens would retain.
I think a sandpaper type player like Wood, a 3c like Haula and a top dman (I would prefer Graves over Gavrikov) are nice additions.

Cheap Contracts
I wouldnt mind Monahan on a 1-year deal for 3C. A good player if he can stay healthy, but thats a big IF.
Kampf is a solid option. I would also look at Acciari. I am okay with keeping Poehling 4C and DOC 4LW though.
Cannot see Schenn signing just because of that MIN trade. Brodin is worth a lot more.
I am okay with keeping Petry. Think he can do a good job if paired with MP.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>I disagree entirely on the premise that DOC needs a prove it deal. He’s proved that he can be a more than competent 4th liner with youthful energy and upside. The question becomes whether or not he can advance to a 3rd line role in the coming years. I think that is up in the air and probably slightly unlikely. As his confidence continues to grow, I feel he’ll even further cement himself as a very good 4th liner that can periodically move up in the instance that there are injuries. I would sign him to term now incase he does break out. I’d say 3 years 1 million max. Probably just below that number. He was playing very well the second half of the year.
As for Poehling, I think you’ve got it right with his deal.
Nylander we should sign to a two year deal. He played well when in the line up. Two years gives us enough evaluation and experimental time with him and it will mean that his deal will expire alongside Petry’s. Therefore if he does breakout this year, we will be able to pay him rather than lose him after this coming season, like we would if he were on a one year. The AHL stint was a wake up call and he is clearly hungry as he watches his brother succeed. A breakout (relatively speaking) is certainly possible. I’d say 800k-850k for Nylander at the two years. Hopefully 800k, but the two years is important.
Smith will likely get more than Joseph did. Keep in mind Smith has two seasons of NHL experience with the Devils and played pretty solid for at least one of those, given the circumstances of the team. He would’ve been in the show this year if it weren’t for our LD overload, his face injury, and him being the only one on a two way deal. I think we should sign him to term while we can, probably in the 900-950k range. The worst that can happen is that he stays at a 6th d man skill set and with that deal he’d be paid as such for 3 years. All upside to lock him up to those terms.
Puustinen I can see for signing to about 800k or even league min. Obviously he doesn’t have the NHL minutes, but has performed excellently wherever he’s played. I’d say 800kish just because he very well could leave for Finland for a bit if he doesn’t see a spot on the team in the near future. That’d extra could entice him a bit. Of all the players though id say he’d be most likely to get league min. I would pay him a high AHL salary incase he doesn’t make the team this season out of camp. He’ll surely replace Carter the following year though. Two years makes sense for him for similar reasons to Nylander. The Petry monster deal will expire when they do too.
Poehling - 1 million 3 years
O’Connor - 900k-1 million 3 years
Smith - 900k-950kish 3 years
Nylander - 800-850kish 2 years
Puustinen - 800kish 2 years (2 way deal with high AHL salary)
Is what I’d like to realistically see. Anything lower salary wise than what I’ve laid out is a bonus, but I’d at least plan to pay each of these guys the lower of the above numbers realistically.
It’s important to keep in mind that the couple 50-100k are vital for these guys as is the security of decent term and one way contracts. There’s a big difference between league min and these number for these guys lives and moral. That’s my take on them.</div></div>
Thats fair. I can understand your points. Not crazy differences honestly.
Just got Nylander one spot on :cool

I dont think Poehling was bad at all? He was playing a completely different role from Granlund and they arent really comparable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Agreed, buying out Granlund does make the most sense. The RFAs should and will deserve more than what you’ve allocated for them. Mainly DOC, who should get some term as well. Poehling is the only one that makes sense.
If we’re running it back with Jarry (which we most likely will) then we need to sign a better insurance option and move DeSmith.</div></div>
How much more would you give them?
Nylander gets a 1-year, but it is a full year so he gets to prove himself.
Puustinen has yet to play a season in the league, so he takes a 2-year deal.
Smith gets same deal as POJ.
DOC gets a 1-year prove it deal.
Poehling gets his term.
If you wanna increase the wages, we wont have anything left to upgrade on DeSmith.

Interesting, but I think a defensive dman is something we need more than an offensive dman. Letang and Petry are our offensive guys in the top 4, so I would like to pair them with more defensive minded players.

I would rather Smith over POJ I think.. might be crazy but I think POJ could be replaced by a physical dman. Getting a young offensive dman isnt so easy.

I personally am okay with keeping him. I think he did well. I do see a lot of fans moving him though. I only trade him here assuming we retool/rebuild.

In this trade, we retain so it would be $4M. He would also be the perfect replacement for Hronek short-term. Not to mention he is from Michigan and would probably love to play for the Red Wings.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Nope just Detroit isn't going to trade firsts for veteran wingers that don't necessarily make our team much better. Especially when they have contracts for another 5 years. Wrong team. We might give something for Rakell but it wouldn't be that much. Right now we have 5 wingers that can play in the top six plus other guys like Zadina, Veleno and Rasmussen that might be pushing for a spot, Rasmussen deserves it too.</div></div>
I would think Rakell jumps over most of your wingers, but maybe it isnt a fit, thats fair.

I would much rather Jarry. Even if you want to move on, buying him out gives you over $4M in cap space, so you can sign an FA for around there instead of giving $5M to Petersen. If anything, I would like to be compensated a little bit because Granlund's buyout is much more tolerable than Petersen's.

I'd agree with you. I just think Smith is ready and I believe Graves, or another top pairing LHD, is crucial for us to compete. I also am able to dump DeSmith in the deal. If you can individually trade both and instead sign ROR, Domi, Compher, Haula, Toews, etc, I am not against it.

Why are people so high on Compher? He is a solid player, but he has always been a 30-35 point player. The first year he gets to play in the top 6 with elite players, he pops off for 50+. I dont think he will do that as a 3rd liner on PIT. I wouldnt give him $5.5M.
