Thread: Wings Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Snowman</b></div><div>I think Lehner will want too much money. Plus as Bernier is looking like a solid #1 these days. Best to keep him as the starter going into next season at 3 mil.

Torey Krug is an Option, but he's likely to stay in Boston
Jake Muzzin is also and Option, but he's likely to stay in Toronto
Out of the other UFA Dman there's not much I'd be interested in having on the books other than Pietrangelo who most definitely won't be leaving St.Louis for Detroit.

Hence I never bothered to add any UFA D Men, Seider and Lindstrom can hopefully make the jump. And hopefully Dekeyser has a healthy year or else it will be groundhog day for the Wings.</div></div>Lehner seems to value term at least as much as money from what I have understood. I think he could be had for 7X $7M, which would be very doable in your scenario. He is Chicago's lone bright spot defensively most nights and should be playing more than he is.
Barrie and Schultz may also be available or trading for Ristolianen(?) could happen as well.
In either way, the wings won't be down for very long now that Yzerman is back, imo.

Thread: Hawks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>Ya know, I get the whole “loyalty signing” label attached to seabrook and that he “earned” his 6.875 per, but that doesn’t mean the term had to be so severe. That’s what crushed me at the time. In all actuality, I thought Kane and toews also did the team a great disservice with their extensions. More toews than Kane obviously given how he’s playing.

Having said that, if you can get great assets at this point by selling wholesale, what does this team have to lose anymore? Bowman’s legacy in the eyes of hawks fans is irreversibly dented in spite of the cups. Either sell or get walking Stan. The funny thing is that in spite of the red wings being historically awful this year, I trust Stevie Y to turn that team around cuz he has a plan. Can’t say I trust Stan with that responsibility.</div></div>Yup. I don't foresee Chicago even making the playoffs in these next 4 years.
