Thread: Poj deal and final lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens2000</b></div><div>Any team with playoff aspirations will scoop him up to be the steady 6dman he is. Friedman is also a workhorse who’ll run through a brick wall for his team, Hextall really got himself into the worst possible scenario</div></div>

I feel you, I think my team (Calgary) is in a very similar boat. I'm doubtful of any of Meloche, Valimaki, or Mackey passing through waivers. All are clearly earning their extra time at camp with the main roster. Im partly hoping the Flames sell high on Kylington right now to add a middle 6 forward in exchange

Thread: In retrospect

You'd have to scrap the ZAR and Sprong signings and pay Milano more. So basically it becomes Milano and Erod vs Carter and Kapanen.

But yeah - both curious moves by Hextall

Thread: Dump zucker

I think we just endure one more year of Zuck. He's proven to be fairly decent when he's healthy and if he gets hurt you LTIR him and spend his cap hit. It's not as bad a scenario to be in now that he only has one year left on his deal.

Thread: Potentially buying out Zucker

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens2000</b></div><div>He has a M-NTC so that makes it a little harder to deal him. I’m all for trading him but the return would suck</div></div>

Not as much as people like to think. His is a 10 team NTC, that means that there are still 20 teams that he can be traded to without clause related issue. A full NTC would be an issue. Something like Kessel's which was basically a 27 team NTC (only 3 options) is an issue. Ability to do 20, not really a problem. Also, even if a team is on the 10 team list, the player could still waive (maybe there is only 7 that he really doesn't want).

While I do not think that Sullivan wants Zucker moved at all...

Zucker @2.25M for (one of 20 teams) for FCs... Many many teams would jump at Zucker at $2.25M.

Thread: what do we think

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens2000</b></div><div>Wasn’t sure about kulak, I understand why he’d get more than 2</div></div>

He was really impressive with the oilers this playoffs, I would love to have him

Thread: Healthy Lines

I know Sully loves E-Rod and he’s played great this season, although In a bit of a slump recently, but I would healthy scratch him out of the bunch. Great player to be inserted in the line-up anytime/anywhere and not a big drop-off. And I think you need Boyle for the PK with ZAR gone.

I like giving Zucker a shot with Sid and Guentzel though. Don’t know why Sully hasn’t tried when Zucker was healthy. I like the idea of:

Guentzel -Sid -Zucker
Rakell -Geno -Rust
Heinen -Carter -Kappy
Boyle -Blueger -McGinn.

Nope. Completely ineligible to play in the NHL the rest of the regular and post season.

Thread: Clearing cap space in the offseason

Rodrigues $3.5Mx5

What is the wild wild world of sports? The absolute craziness f that makes me believe that this entire AGM is a joke for laughs.

The only way a contract for Rodrigues should have $3.5M on it is if it is across three years, $1.3M + $1.2M + $1.2M, for $3.5M total.

$3.5Mx5... oofff

Thread: resigning key ufas

A 3rd for Pettersson is all I'd offer.

If you want a 2nd it would have to be for both Pettersson and Kapanen. I'll even throw in Erne in that case.

We were never going to trade Marino. Would of not made sense. Happy with Rakell!!

Thread: ZAR headed to ANA for rakell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens2000</b></div><div>Ya that would’ve been disastrous. Another plus I see here is the pens have a fall back option if they can’t lock up rust. Obviously he should be priority one over rakell but it’s possible they can get both if they get zucker or petterssons contract off</div></div>

This is exciting Rakell has never played with a Center the caliber of Malkin or Crosby. They should have some flexibility next year, but I do agree they should prioritize Rust this off season.

Pens hang up. Maybe Caulfield for Marino.

Lehkonen got 13 points last year in the regular szn, and 4 points on a stanley cup run. Can MTL fans relax on his trade value, pls!

Fair enough! I think he’s worth keeping IMO. Let another team give him an offer sheet and get the pick or he can accept QO/sign a cheap 1/2 Yr deal, see if he can bounce back

Purely cap space reasons. I’m confident Kap can turn it around and his QO next year is 800k.

You might be right, but they also traded him away. They may not like him as much anymore or for Vancouver
