Thread: NJD fans how much is Blackwoods RFA rights worth and his next contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>If I had to handicap it, I would say chances are:

25% we qualify him
15% we sign him to below QO
20% we trade his rights
40% we let him walk

Schmid has exemptions left, so Fitzy could opt for Vanecek/Blackwood tandem to start 2023-24. Last thing we want is too few goalies like 2021-22. (And Blackwood himself may be more likely to clear waivers that any UFA we may sign). If Mack gets healthy and some confidence back, there is a good goalie in there somewhere.</div></div>

I believe in Blackwood and his ability, but there’s no more opportunity left. He’s not gonna wanna sign here. I think he’d rather go somewhere where he has an opportunity. He’s not gonna agree to be the third string yet again, except now for a whole season instead of just the postseason. Get a cheap third string if we are worried about goalies. I don’t think that’s necessary bc we have Daws in the system and Tyler Brennan will be backing him up. I believe Daws could hold down the fort in a few games if need be. Not trying to jinx anything, but our only goalie injuries last year were Blackwood twice. Akira and Vitek were both healthy so hopefully goalie injuries don’t become a problem. Even if the devils wanna bring him back, I doubt he signs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>To that note, no one in this league should pay that...meaning he goes untendered and someone gets him for peanuts for free as he attempts a comeback with either a team that has no goaltending depth, or is a really good team that he may be a distant 2B for, but has a good enough team in front of him he can shine and hope someone gets him next contract.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Erkadurk347</b></div><div>Originally thought that the Devils could get a 4th or 5th rounder out of him. But knowing his qualifying contract and other RFAs who are not worth their contract, their value is already slim to none, and also don’t have a spot in the lineup, I think that the devils won’t qualify him and they’ll let Blackwood become a FA. I don’t think anyone will pay a 4th or 5th to have to pay the qualifying offer of 3+ mil. Someone would rather get him for free in FA with a lower cap hit</div></div>

Thread: Arizona Fans How Much
Unless there is a demanded trade from Keller or Hayton both would need to be a massive overpay as they are not on the trade block.
My guess on massive overpays that the Coyotes have to consider for a trade:
Keller = <strong>4 A-grade assets</strong>,
Hayton = <strong>2 A-grade assets and a B-grade asset</strong>,

A-grade assets- 1st round picks, A rated prospects, top 6 forwards, top pair defenseman
B-grade assets- 2nd round picks, A- or B rated prospects, middle six forwards, bottom 4 defenseman

Schmaltz in an interesting trade option. He is prime career with a team friendly contract with term, and he is a top six forward on most teams. Can play C but better on the wing.
Maybe 2023 1st (BOS) or 2024 1st (TOR) and a couple of A-/B prospects or a prospect and a decent roster player (Kampf or Liljegeren type)

Thread: How Big Are Danny Bs Balls
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SNipeSHowInc</b></div><div>That’s not enough for Marner, Niemela and Liljegren</div></div>

Why not? i think it certainly is. You're not only getting 4 players who would be on your opening night roster, each and everyone of them fill a need. two dmen who can actually defend, one who can play on Muzzin's vacated line and another 3rd pairing guy who will take the place of Liljegren. Not to mention a guy who averages 24+ mins a night who has almost half their salary retained.

TK you can instantly plug in to your top 6 and you wouldn't crater there in terms of points, TK was a point per game player this year and was on pace for 40 goals.

And Allison has tremendous potential he just seems to have bad luck with injuries and didn't really latch on to Torts system. He showed plenty of flashes with AV and plays a solid NHL game.

Plus a 1st round pick and 2mm+ of cap space, which is the like gold to TOR, or at least it should be.

I think the value is right on to be honest.
