Speculation: 2022 Off-Season | Dethroned: What next? - Part 2

Would be next on my UFA list after de Haan. Edmonton beat writer said he was looking for a 4x$2.5mil deal.



Finished the season at 81%. Played about 17 minutes a game, which I think is what they'll want the McD replacement to do.

Steve Kouleas on Sirius was the one that reported this.

 

[ThunderRoad]

That would actually be awesome with all of his knowledge.

Bowman's job with the Hawks was literally to watch Lightning games. He lives in TB, and he and Steve Yzerman would watch games together a lot. It was always kind of funny when he was interviewed, because he would be asked questions about the Hawks and talk completely about the Lightning.

I mean, nobody would object if he were brought on as a consultant (I believe that was his job title with Chicago). He knows our team inside and out -- better than he knew the Hawks team, undoubtedly.

I like Joe but LOL at him mentioning Ian Cole.

welp, with just 16 hours to go, what are our final predictions for free agency? where will Palat and Rutta go and how much $ and term? Who do we sign and for what?
1 thing i see us doing if we dont bring Palat back is sign one of the non tendered players to a 3-4 year deal around 2-3m

Laughs. I wish. Has to be a contending team with some cap space.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Palat to Calgary 6x6 tomorrow

 

[Sky04]

Calgary definitely going hard after Palat after this.

Don't know about Rutta, but I'll say Palat 4x6 to Detroit

And for us I'll say Stastny on a 1 year deal and Kulak or De Haan for 3x3

 

[Todd1a]

Palat to Calgary 6x6 tomorrow

Yep

 

[Point21]

Family decision makes me think Boston or NJ

 

[Felonious Python]

Canadian taxes are higher than they'd be in TB. 6x6 probably wouldn't do it.

Rakell just got 6x5 he's younger and produces similar but with better goal scoring numbers. Nobody should be giving Palat 6 years or 6M.

Palat could get near $6m, but 6 years is too long.
