Seatle will not pick many 7 or 8M players, unless teams "pay them" to.

Duchene I'd probably stay away, but I'd have a hard time passing on the other ones.

Blues likely didn't want to take on any cap which makes sense. We would have had to take on his 7.5 for 2 years without sending any of Drouin/Byron back.

His shoulder's a mess and he takes up a pile of cap space in a flat cap world. He's also going to turn 30 in a few months. The 40 goal Tarasenko is a thing of the past and he's poor defensively.

It's a risk, but it's not that much of a long shot. Would it be a surprise to anyone if Tarasenko came back with a 30 goals season next year?
In any case, any trade for him had to start with Drouin to offset some of the money. It would be worth a shot, but for St-Louis, offloading his contract at the ED might be better than Drouin + whatever additional assets we would theoretically be willing to toss in.

Simple. We don't have a defense. A $7,5M winger is the last of our needs.

Voracek declining, 3 more years at his cap hit no thanks.
Giordano signed for only 1 year at 37
Tarasenko with his shoulder
mybe Domi since his younger and much cheaper than the others.
I'd pass on most of them unless teams have nothing of value available or they pay me to take them.

I don't think Seattle will take him. Damaged goods and lots of salary under a flat cap.

I'm wondering why Appleton didn't get traded. 900k forward who was on pace for 37 points in an 82 game season. Thought for sure Tampa would get him.

They have to reach the cap floor and need some of these higher salary types.
They can retain on their contracts and swap them for some additional assets in a couple months too.
It's hard to have a clear picture without the full scope of the ED lists, but I have a hard time imagining there will be significantly better options than those guys on their respective teams (minus Dunn for STL).
Trades are still coming in since the deadline, so it's possible he has been.

there will be enough 4, 5 or 6M players available it should not be a problem to reach.

We know we have a lot of trouble to sign the big guys.
Don't think we'll get Hamilton, Jones, Eichel...
Better trade for Tarasenko than have 8M free like we had couple years ago.

Because of the flat cap, teams are more afraid than ever to take on high risk contracts. Tarasenko was awful last year and is a complete liability if he isn't scoring. Gallagher (another bad contract) at least plays a strong defensive game when he isn't scoring.
I'm not sure if Seattle takes him in the ED. I think Dunn is a more attractive option if he's available.

Don't know what Bergevin is going to do but if he stays idle, this team is going to suck major ass next year.

Giordano might be a nice one year selection for the Kraken for his leadership and stability he'll bring on defense to a brand new organization. Domi would be a half decent pick. I agree on Voracek and Tarasenko being no thanks.
