Thread: More competitive and still rebuilding

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>That Boston '24 pick looks to be in the 11-19 range next year. If it's lower, we get an unprotected '25.
Schiefele is 31 and bound to recess. He's also a taint.</div></div>

I just don’t see any promise in just letting the years go by with middling picks and no hopes for playoffs. Scheifele moves the needle, has flexibility to be moved for the same pick, and i think he’s tight with Copp so maybe Yzerman likes taints?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Megalodon</b></div><div>9, 17 and 41 gets you 4th overall. Nothing else coming from SJ.</div></div>

the value of pick 17 in ‘23 isn’t really that much different than DET’s 1st in ‘24, especially if it’s not lottery protected.

Thread: More competitive and still rebuilding

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>That is overpay to a player who, even if worth this much, will be a rental.
Underpay for 4, but i think we should definitely look at 9+17+.</div></div>

If a good deal for an extension isn’t in place by TDL then he can be traded to get that ‘24 1st right back no problem.

Thread: More competitive and still rebuilding

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>While the first is nice, it is extremely unlikely the Jets trade one of two top 4 RHD they have for yet another LHD they have no use for. Or, that they trade a 1C for a left shot winger on the small side.

You'd need to offer pieces that fill needs or plug holes for the Jets as opposed to just giving them more of what they already have plenty of.</div></div>

You’re probably right IF the jets choose not to rebuild. If they do want to tear down, then they’ll take whatever offer has the highest market value. I don’t think Chevy will be picky about good young players’ handedness if they’re not trying to be competitive.

Thread: More competitive and still rebuilding

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>I cant see sj moving out of 4, Smith or Carlsson or Michkov is just too good a situation. I can't see yzerman wanting to pay scheifele and if they won't extend him what's the point of giving assets for him. Bert isnt coming back they couldn't agree on contracts when he was a wing it's not going to change now after his playoffs.</div></div>

We’ll if he’s not extended then he can be traded for similar assets. I think Yzerman needs to make moves to be competitive and at least with sheifele those costs can be recouped if it doesn’t work out.

I think bertuzzi’s extension negotiations were an exceptional circumstance. the only reason bert wasn’t extended was because his next contract’s value truly is such a big question mark. Either way I think Yzerman will sign a similar player to a similar contract if it’s not bertuzzi.

As for the sharks pick, I think you’re right, but Im being wishful.

Carlsson. That way they get a legit 1C in the future.

Would love necas on the wings but I don’t think he’s that strong at center and reports have indicated that Carolina is looking for a vet in return.

Thread: 5 overall value

DET is a pretty fair value but I’d personally only want to see that if it was top 4 pick. Personally think reinbacher at 9 is a realistic pickup that would make a big diff in the rebuild.

I like troubadour to DET but that’s way too much unless like 4m gets retained.

If the wings don’t get a lottery pick then I think making a move for scheifele could be a good move.

I’m a wings fan that actually likes the petry to DET idea but for a 3rd you’ll need max retention and more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Herbi38</b></div><div>Ottawa would be smart to accept something like this, where are the rumours coming from? Just because cat is from MI</div></div>

Rumor is that debrincat won’t sign in Ottawa and Detroit needs a goal scorer and because he’s from MI but they’re in the same division and at the same stage of rebuild so it’s hard to see how it works out.

Thread: sell and sign

Really not a bad value/fit for Detroit but I just dont think adding more offensive wingers is really part of his agenda right now.

Pionk is a good fit but no way DET sends rasmussen and a 1st unless the team is 1 top 4 RH Dman away from winning the cup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Agreed both players at least interest me. A deal probably makes more sense in the offseason.</div></div>

I like the players too but hard to justify trading for Johansen during the offseason when his ability to bounce-back is still a question mark. If that’s the only way to get him, I would hope it’s a 3rd and not a 2nd.

Thread: Next Year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tonyhzs</b></div><div>I would normally agree, but why not just sign Horvat as a UFA? I don't like the 8.5 hit for a defensive (elite at that) 2C.

Wallinder could be top 4 as early as next year. He is showing to be very good and has made improvements in his game at a rapid pace. Kronwall had given him some advice and Wallinder seems to have taken it to heart.</div></div>

I personally believe a larkin- horvat top 2 would be absolutely worth the 18mm it would cost but that’s just me. Otherwise I do hope you’re right about wallinder.
