Speculation: 2018-2019 Roster Discussion #2 - Even Worser!

I can't recall so many injuries to key personal. I know Raanta has never played a starters role, but he has only played 12 games and I think he was pulled in two of those because of injuries, so his injuries is not work load related, rather I think it's the way he plays the position because of his size. Like you said, he may never play a starters role. Man, I hope you are wrong here. When Raanta returns he will be our #1 no matter who is or how hot they are playing. Like RT said "we have to get Raanta playing". He is our only hope if we want to make the playoffs.
When he skates with the puck he has time to pass and he is fine, but when he is pressured he can't make a pass if his life depended on it. It's either icing, or passes it to the opposition.

Let's live in fantasy land for a minute here.
New ownership comes in and makes us a cap team. The cap goes to 83 mil, and we hit Matthews with a max offer sheet (20%).
Galchenyuk (4.9) - Matthews (16.6) - Keller (.886)
Grabner (3.35) - Schmaltz (5.75) - Fischer (.822)
Crouse (2.0) - Dvorak (4.45) - Hinostroza (1.5)
Bunting (.750) - Richardson (1.25) - Garland (.725)
Dauphin (.825)
OEL (8.25) - Trouba (6.5)
Chychrun (4.6) - Hammer (5.0)
KConn (1.375) - Demers (3.94)
Oesterle (.850)
Raanta (4.25)
Kuemper (1.85)
Ribeiro buyout (1.94)
Total = 82.365
Aside from the max deal for AM, the other moves:
- Stepan + Merkley + ?? for the RFA rights to Trouba
- Goligoski to any team that misses on a top D in UFA. This has to be cap dump, i.e., picks.

Interesting...
Zero chance that offer gets you Trouba though. Really bad value. And no 1sts to add to it 'cause Toronto has them all.

They won't have any leverage this summer cuz he'll be a year away from UFA. The trade market for him will competitive anyways.
Lots of teams will be looking to do 2-for-1 trade upgrades with the Ex draft coming.
Little is at worst as good as Stepan and over a million cheaper for a team that has some decisions to make with regards to Cap.
Little is not close to Stepan at all. Little defensively is terrible. His production is lower points wise and is one demensional offensive.

I love Bryan Little. I would’ve been over the moon if we acquired him 5 years ago while he was in his mid 20’s. He would’ve been the perfect 2nd line center. With that said...Stepan is better. I remember early last year reading the same bitching about Stepan as I’m currently reading on here.

Safe to say you were a Little disappointed.
Where'd you get that idea? He's great defensively.
He's spent a lot of time covering Laine's defensive problems the last couple years.
I'd currently give the edge to Stepan if I was comparing them. Stepan is in his 9th season and Little in his 12th so there's a lot more wear and tear on him.
I still dont get why the NHL did not allow them to void his contract. The next team was allowed to.

He’s been great defensively since he was 15 years old. He’s basically what we can hope for from Barrett Hayton.

He’s a total lunatic who’s completely unemployable under any circumstance. Seems like enough reason.
