Based on comparable players on the market, he could have received more.



I just checked, and saw you are correct. For some reason I thought the Sharks offered him a 1-year contract.



Seriously. The fact that we were in on him is not encouraging. Looks like I was wrong.
It's a one year stopgap while they work on other things. He's a former Hart trophy winner who might still have one good year left. It was worth checking out.

And a bargain price at that. One of those low risk high reward moves.

Currently our roster for next year is going to be without:

Pavelski
Nyquist
Donskoi
Braun

Realistically I do not see how we add more than a top-6 F, either via trade or UFA.

Have to think DW has his hands in multiple pies right now.

I guess so. It's also possible that they didn't offer more than $1M plus performance bonuses.

If we're targeting a UFA around that price range, I would have much rather looked into somebody like Bellemare, Acciari, or Tanev. (Although Tanev is probably a bit too pricey)

There are cheap top 6 options, but only via trade. I'd love to miraculously be proved wrong but I don't see any way we can afford Lee or the like, maybe Nyquist but I think he wants more term than we're willing to give. I think/hope DW wants Kreider and I don't believe the reports he wouldn't waive out west, I think he'd waive for a contender.

Would Ferland be considered a big deal? I guess I don't know what big deal means? :)

Also, the trade thing is definitely a lot of us are thinking. Only way to add to a depleted roster from last year.



Yeah. We got hit by injuries in the absolute worst year .. :\

Thats basically losing a whole 2nd line

like who?

they never got to the point of an offer after boyle said he wanted 2 years. slightly different than pavs but it seems like term is always going to be the sticking point.

Ferland is a medium sized option, someone we could reasonably fit but not an earthshaking move by any means. I wouldn't mind him but would still want DW to bring in something more.

What trade options do you guys see besides Kreider?

Ehlers, Marchessault, Gusev are the other 3 that I've heard are available and yes, I realize the latter two are pipe dreams. There are also players like Kyle Connor and Mitch Marner available for offer sheets. There's also always a few guys out there whose names you don't hear until they've been traded. Ehlers is for sure my top target.

Ehlers is the only one of those that might be realistic and I think it's a long shot.

I think our best way forward this season has to be acquiring a medium-deal for a F in UFA and another F in a trade. Ideally one of those is a true top-6 F (trade) and the other is a top-9 (UFA).
