Speculation: Florida to seek out defenseman to replace Ekblad

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Are they thinking a top 4 UFA with a hefty deal or are they thinking shorter termed, cheaper guy?

Someone we don't have to protect would be ideal, unless they are worth going 8 skaters for

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Anyone on the Sabres except Dahlin and Jokiharju can be had.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Montour (50% retained) for a 2nd and a 4th.

 

[thethinglonger]

I wonder if Florida has any interest in Ryan Murray with the Zito/CBJ connection.

Robert Haag

 

[DesertPenguin]

Ghost is on waivers so...

 

[untouchable21]

Oleksiak could be a good deadline add. Solid shutdown guy to play with a puck moving type. Added bonus that he’s played in the division all year so he’s gotten to know the teams well

If he’s made available, I sure hope Chevy is calling. Would really like Oleksiak on the Jets blue line.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

it is close to no lose as possible.

1. Deangelo would be made available cheap.
reasonable contract thru next season

2. no nmc so not required to protected

3. if you really like, keep, but more likely, you expose

4. If Kraken go otherwise, okay. He's still yours.
If you like him but not that much or need to recover cap, you buy him out cheap [special option due to his age].

5. If Kraken take him, that saves the rest of yr roster

6. NYR would likely take back Stralman as a cap dump in a deal, send him to taxi squad or use 3rd pair mins, then is useful as exposure requirement for exp dr.

Seattle won’t take him, that’s a PR nightmare they will not take. Florida fans will love him.

No we won’t.

 

[Billdo]

A slightly used Sami Vatanen is available.

[FrolikFan67]

He is but he played in Columbus while zito was the assistant gm there

The wild have alot of picks this draft, this wouldn't mortgage the future. This seems fair

Tyler Myers is your guy.

 

[Beezeral]

Tyler Myers is your guy.

He is your guy to buyout.

 

[zcaptain]

Tony DeAngelo for a conditional 7th and if you want a ufa cap dump

Maybe Deangelo 50% retained, which save NYR Cap and real dollars for futures (a 7th)

 

[FinlandPanther]

Maybe Deangelo 50% retained, which save NYR Cap and real dollars for futures (a 7th)

So we help you out and take your headache for a 7th? Nah.

Not my head ache.........I am a Canuck fan..........my head ache is bigger!

 

[Vitto79]

the buyout is 300 k then 800 k
It’s not that bad for NYR and much of a risk for FLA besides his attitude

 

[Yatzhee]

Florida won't be willing to pay the price for acquiring him me thinks.
