Speculation: Where does Kevin Shattenkirk sign?

[Flat Ronnie]

Really, how special are you? Terry Pegula would spend five times what the cap is if he was allowed to.

Why do you assume everyone knows Terry Pegula's spending habits?

It's pretty well known around the lesgue

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Saw someone mention Tampa. Would be a great fit but don't think it's likely. Do NYI have the cap space to sign him?

 

[Rschmitz]

You know it's the Lightning in front on Shattenkirk when this thread drops to page 2 of the trade forums

They could if they trade De Haan who is a RFA(or Kulemin)

I'm totally fine with it if the cap hit is under 6 million. 5.5 x 6 I'd be down for.

Still think he goes to the Devils though. They'll pay more and make him their #1. We cannot give him either of that.

 

[McVespa99]

I dont care as long as it is not Edmonton. Some team is going to get burned bad

 

[VoluntaryDom]

NJ Devils

No

Severson is better

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Still don't want unless he'd be willing to play on second pairing because, IMHO, he would NOT go well with Heddy. Hedman is already our #1D and works best with a solid defensive partner with some puck moving/two-way ability who can leave him free to roam. Hedman does NOT need to be the defensive cover for Shattenkirk.

But I feel Shattenkirk wants to be a #1D or at least in a top pair position with the dollars to match. Whether or not he's actually worth that is beside the point. Not that great a match for Tampa unless he'd be willing to slot into second pair with someone like Coburn who's a solid defensive defenseman and I doubt he'd take second pair $$/term.

We'll know all too soon.

Islanders lmao

well considering when he bought the team he blatantly said money was no object and he would spend whatever and if he needed more money he would just go frack another hole

and i'm being dead serious, none of this was made up

 

[mike30]

shatty followed hall on twitter. therefore hes going to NJ.

 

[Eric Sachs]

I want him in NJ. Would play really nicely in our timeline and help transition to the next phase of D. We need puck movers and we need to get better in the backend to help our forward progress.

I'm hopeful for 7 years at 6M. I'd be willing to go up to 7 years, 6.5M but hopefully not too much more.

Also key to point out that the CBA expires in 5 years so there will likely be the opportunity for compliance buyouts if absolutely needed at the end of his deal. We don't have cap issues at all so I don't expect any issues. We have nothing that terrible on the books long-term.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

No

Severson is better

Severson is in no way better than shattenkirk or Greene. Just as bad defensively and I'd say worse and doesn't provide nearly the offense that's shattenkirk does. Severson has potential but his all around game isn't there yet

There you have it, folks

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

He is going to the Devils

If it isn't the Devils, I will legitimately be shocked

 

[Eric Sachs]

Some amateur sleuthing reveals that he's followed Hall for a long time.. it's not new.

His most recent follow is Justin Williams, it seems. The list goes in reverse chronological order.

 

[Linds]

That's why the Lightning are a dark horse here that everyone ignores because of geography.

The the Lightning are the absolute best place for him to play on-ice production wise:

1) Contend for the cup every year
2) Get paired with Hedman
3) Play with Stamkos on PP

He already rejected sign and trade deal for 7 years at 7m to tampa for drouin at the trade deadline..he is not going to tampa

 

[NjDevsRR]

Yeah he has followed Hall on twitter for a while now. Why don't people research things...

 

[GregSirico]

He's going to NJ.

 

[Cor]

His most recent follows are Lebrun, CNN, Dreger and Luongo

I was about say, try convincing some Devils fans this. And it only took 5 posts. There's a small but vocal contingent that are convinced that Ben Lovejoy is better than Severson. It's pretty hilarious. Severson is our best defenseman, although I don't think he's better than Shattenkirk yet. I'd gladly take them as our #1 and #2, over Andy Greene and Ben Lovejoy being our #1 and #2 like last year. Greene is still decent, but probably a middle pairing guy. Our caveman coaching staff doesn't look like they care much about possession, so I'm almost expecting them to vouch for signing that sieve Alzner instead.

Shows up radically different for me so who knows how it really works, I guess. I see Justin Williams, the Washington Capitals and a hockey charity.

Yup. That is accurate.

From experience, I have found that if you are browsing on a laptop, it will show in chronological order. If you are viewing it on your phone, it shows the follows you have in common at the top.

Not sure why but that's what it does for me and explains the differences here.
