Salary Cap: 2014-2015 Roster Building Thread - Part V for Vendetta | Don't Hate on Greasy Neal!

It's still risky for the money he'll command. If he's willing to take 4.5 for 5 years than yes, but anything more I feel like we should let him go.

I would be willing to go to 5 as long as there's no NTC at all. And I would have very little expectation of him finishing the contract here.

As for the Martin situation, keep him...he's the only one who had Letang playing like he could

I tend to agree. But for how much, and how long?

Maybe at 5...

As for Martin, maybe 5.5 for 3 years? Depending on how the cap works

I'm not sure if that will get it done, but I'd be thrilled to give him that.

 

[IcedCapp]

Let me piss Ogre off..


What about re-signing Niskanen and trading Martin while his value is at its highest and he's about to enter the downside of his career?

as I've said repeatedly, it better be a damn good return.

 

[Fordy]

martin for kane

I don't think it gets done, I think he looks for a long term deal with more money

We better be getting a a top 10-15 pick back

 

[Ogrezilla]

martin for kane

done. That's larceny

 

[mpp9]

as I've said repeatedly, it better be a damn good return.

Winnipeg, Tampa and Anaheim along with a number of other teams are in desperate need of a top 4 LHD. If he nets us the return to fix our situation at forward, you have to explore.

 

[pensfan71]

Martin for Eberle would be interesting.

Martin for JVR is fair but highly unlikely.

Martin for Kane is ****ing highway robbery...

Hey I hope you're right, but I just don't think a 33 year old on the last year of his contract will get the kind of return we'd want.

there is no chance Martin gets us any of those guys. I'd love to be wrong; but I am fairly certain I am not. If that's the kind of return people think we can get for Martin I get why you'd want to trade him

 

[pensfan71]

Martin in Anaheim is a good fit on paper. A Martin-Beachemin pairing would be amazing

 

[pensfan71]

there is no chance Martin gets us any of those guys. God I'd love to be wrong; but I am fairly certain I am not.

Martin fits all of their needs. And he could easily be the captain for Edmonton and Toronto. God knows that Edmonton and Toronto are in dire need for a true leader

for a year.

 

[pensfan71]

for a year.

I think he'd resign in Toronto or Anaheim. No way in hell does anyone resign in Edmonton

 

[IcedCapp]

I think he'd resign in Toronto or Anaheim. No way in hell does anyone resign in Edmonton

so they'll give us Eberle?

 

[pensfan71]

so they'll give us Eberle?

If Tambo was still GM

 

[Ogrezilla]

I think he'd resign in Toronto or Anaheim. No way in hell does anyone resign in Edmonton

Would you be confident enough to risk giving up a guy like JVR to find out? I sure as hell wouldn't be.

 

[pensfan71]

Would you be confident enough to risk giving up a guy like JVR to find out? I sure as hell wouldn't be.

Oh for sure I wouldn't. I was just suggesting a deal that should be fair and benefits both teams on paper. I think I did say it wouldn't happen in my original post

 

[Ogrezilla]

so what kind of deal do you think would happen?

 

[IcedCapp]

If Tambo was still GM

well let's just get him and Nieuwendyk together somewhere and do our worst.

 

[pensfan71]

so what kind of deal do you think would happen?

Lupul and some sort of pick. A 1st or 2nd

well let's just get him and Nieuwendyk together somewhere and do our worst.

I'll get Tambo, you get Nieuwendyk

 

[pensfan71]

And from Anaheim maybe Etem?

 

[Ogrezilla]

Lupul and some sort of pick. A 1st or 2nd

There's not a chance they'd be adding a 1st on top of Lupul. Martin wouldn't get us the 8th overall by itself, let alone with Lupul.
