Roster and Fantasy GM Thread Pt. XVIII

[Tryamkin]

Regressing or just exposed?

Even with his 20 goals last year the analytics crew had no love for him what-so-ever.

Oh well, so far it looks that they were right.

Yeah more like exposed. He was never that hyped even after that 20 goals season because we all knew what was coming next year with 3/4th line minutes.

 

[Tryamkin]

Dont disagree on Gagners performance this season...but Goldoblin and Rodin were not good enough to make the team out of training camp...It was there for everyone to see on the ice.

Even if Goldobin was good enough, the mindset was planted in the management to start him in the AHL and get him to grow his work ethic.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Free physical top 9 forward on waivers.

 

[Tryamkin]

hold on to your butts

Evander Kane and Double Dion... the playoff special.

 

[Tryamkin]

Free physical top 9 forward on waivers.

Uh oh... here we go. I can’t see this one ending without at least a benning claim..

 

[Dissonance Jr]

Uh oh... here we go. I can’t see this one ending without at least a benning claim..

Do we even have the cap space to fit Beleskey's $3.8 million salary? According to CapFriendly, things look awfully tight.

(Not saying we should claim him, just curious about the cap situation.)

I’m hoping the cap will be a turn off...

 

[vancityluongo]

Beleskey fits if they waive Gagner...

I don't think we do unless we use LTIR. This team is capped out without it, but injuries to Gudbranson and Dorsett could open the gates for a contract like this.

Waiving Gagner only reduces his hit by about $1m.

 

[me2]

All the years left should make this an automatical DNW.

 

[Tryamkin]

All the years left should make this an automatical DNW.

Key word SHOULD, Benning doesn’t gave that word in his vocabulary.

 

[tyhee]

Perhaps, but Goldoblin's game picked up right around Halloween.

 

[Cogburn]

I think Gagner would thrive in Boston, and we could use a Beleskey believe it or not.

I'd rather be spending the money on a physical non-factor than a non-physical non-factor. I'd love to see what Spooner+Beleskey would cost for Gagner. Gudbranson? Granlund?...more likely a pick though...

Spooner is listed as day to day presently, as in off the IR.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Perhaps, but Goldoblin's game picked up right around Halloween.

and culminated in a -4 last night against the Preds..

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Beleskey fits if they waive Gagner...

Yepp ,we need the grit,get rid of Ganger and the rest of the floaters,,,this team believe it or not is lost without Dorsett also,not just Bo.

 

[The Drop]

Maybe if the Preds and Poile are high?

Gudbranson & Baertschi for Tolvanen?

 

[Bleach Clean]

Green should probably staple Vanek and Eriksson to the 2nd line for now. Rotate Granlund/Gaunce/Gagner at 2C until some chemistry is formed:

Sedin-Sedin-Boeser
Vanek-Granlund-Eriksson
Goldobin-Gagner-Dowd
Gaunce-Burmistrov-Virtanen

That's probably the best rotation they can muster.

That's probably the best rotation they can muster.

Not a bad line-up, but I'd switch Boeser and Eriksson around. I don't think a Vanek-Granlund-Eriksson line would be strong enough and there would be too much pressure on the Sedin/Boeser line.

 

[elitepete]

Maybe if the Preds and Poile are high?

Gudbranson & Baertschi for Tolvanen?

The Filip Forsberg trade.

 

[Nuckles]

hold on to your butts

They're back again. I believe the trade freeze is December 18 at midnight.

 

[Bleach Clean]

@Nuckles Who do you think they are looking at?

Hutton seems the likely target. Maybe Burmistrov? Gaunce?

 

[Cogburn]

Edler for Zacha was presented by a New Jersey fan.

Ryan or Phaneuf from Ottawa makes sense for them.

Reinhart or Nylander from Buffalo could be a coup.

Some bottom six (actual bottom six) players from Detroit cheap could be a thing.

Montreal isn't looking so hot as they wanted to this season. Galchenyuk? I have no idea who or what.

Blue Jackets have some neat prospects, but I don't see a fit for any of our pieces.

The most likely explanation to me? Casual scouting that happened to correspond to our two games.

 

[Addison Rae]

from buffalo i wouldn't mind "buying low" on sam reinhart.

VAN does play MTL after they play CGY.

Edler goes nowhere so long as his NTC is intact.

Ryan or Phaneuf would be terrible for VAN. I think Dzingel may be possible. Maybe Brassard?

Reinhart from BUF makes sense. That is, of course, if they have any interest in Hutton.

Hutton for Galchenyuk... MB would be fired, but I think it's a fair deal given that the Canucks can much easier hold onto to Hutton than they can re-up Galchenyuk.

CBJ and NJ are puzzling destinations.
