Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread | I'll Trade You My Pinto For Your Ferrari

might be just as simple as Holland thinks he can use the money intended for AA and get a better player in FA. If this is the case, does it really matter if KH uses the money he would have used for AA and now uses it for a better perhaps more productive player?

We have 8.7 mill right now. Holland would want to have at least 1.5 mill in space, he always likes room. Let's make it an even 7 mill in cap space.

2.5 for Bear
1.5 for a backup goalie
1.25 for Pulju
900k calling up Bouchard
800 k for a 7 d

That's 7 mill. You may say "Klefboms LTIR" and I would say, that would have to be used on a defender of he misses the whole year, if he doesn't miss the whole year it doesn't help too much.

I kinda hope AA and Holland have a handshake deal in place where he goes to free agency and re signs for a decent rate for a year or 2 and then they re evaluate.

Allows us to maintain some cheap depth, and gives him a chance to put some good numbers up with McDrai while the cap is flat in anticipation of a big payday when it goes up again.

I just hate the thought of losing him for nothing after what we paid, and how good he started to look during the play in.

What about AA for Brady Skjei?

Why give up Skjei when they could sign him for free?

I really hope so, but I doubt it.

Pass.

Brady Skjei isn't very good.

I don't see it. Tippett didn't trust him after the first game and his deployment isn't going to get him future contracts for $$.

 

[Raab]

Pass.

Good enough to play 20+ minutes a night on a playoff team. If Klef is out we need another dman or two. Giving up a guy we were going to lose anyway would be good asset management.

Can’t see Carolina going for that. Like the player though.

Maybe we add Puljujarvi, and they add the 68th pick? I dunno just spitballin. I just don't see Holland letting these guys walk. Benning I think will just re-sign if we want him back.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Unless we can sign a couple of decent players with the vacated cap from AA, I absolutely hate letting him walk. I am pissed right now, Holland mentioned a goalie and a depth forward or two like last year. Unless that goalie is a top 5 goalie and with Klefbom's injury we are a weaker team than when we left the ice against Chicago. The only hope at getting a lot better basically boils down to young players like Pulju, Bouchard, Broberg, Samo, etc. stepping in and being very good for us while Jones becomes a legit 2nd pairing guy.

Well Patrick Maroon never did lol.

Maroon seems like a smarter player though

 

[Snipes45]

Stauffer says we are signing a cheap Vet AHL goalie tomm boys! Remember what he said. "Never say never"..

Smarter player with heart:

Stauffer believes the Sharks will offer Benning enough of a salary and role to go there to be a bottom pair D and play the PK.

Also nobody is taking AA when they can sign him for free, and for a lot less than what his Arbitration award is anticipated to be (between 4-4.5 mil).

I believe someone mentioned that was part of the off season shopping list.

Nice to see Calgary didn't get Josh Anderson from Columbus.

Max Legace would be a nice pickup to help the boys out down in Bakersfield

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Edmonton will find a goalie among the myriad free agent options, and it’s my belief we’ll see a significant forward added in free agency to shore up left wing for 2020-21.

FWIW, from Alan Mitchell (Lowetide) on the Athletic.

This

People need to stop pretending like we didnt just lose an extremely cost effective D who played big minutes on our top pairing. Our D is going to be worse than last year probably regardless and we are banking on internal development where Nurse, Bear, Jones, Bouchard get better and do so in a hurry.

Our organization has never shown the ability to be able to fill big holes via trade/signing though no matter how big and visible they are. Our goaltending has been a mess for 15 years except one above average season from Talbot and one decent season from Khabibulin/Dubnyk in 11-12, we haven't had a #1 dman in those 15 years, or even a legitimate top-pairing rhd. We never replaced Hall's scoring with a top line winger after we traded him, and we never replaced Eberle's scoring with a top-6 RW when we traded him either. I can't even remember who our last real 3C was that was able to win faceoffs and take care of both ends.

I know this isn't all on Holland, but as a fan I have no reason to be optimistic that this 'potential' hole will be filled. Just add it to the list.
