Could he be good #3 C for us?

 

[Kcoyote3]

A friend for Meier!

 

[TheBeard]

Looks like there's gonna be a lot of Ryan Donatos available.

Not much of a fit unless the outlook for the 3rd line is going to change from what DW mentioned earlier. Suter played pretty sheltered mins, isn't very big, and doesn't bring much from the PK perspective. Think he's a quality player, but just not probably the guy for the role that DW has talked about during his offseason media sessions.

 

[themelkman]

Suter would be a good pickup. Don’t think he plays center but another Swiss guy to come play with Meier.

Only complication is our quota on skilled wingers is pretty full

Come on Doug just make atleast one good signing. Don’t give someone like Cizikas 5 million with actual talent coming in under 3

I’d be stoked if we got Kase on a cheap deal. Always been a fan of his from his Anaheim days.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

Also, would 100% do okposo for Jones lol. Not much more in cap hit for someone who isn’t sub replacement level and shorter term.

Kurtis Gabriel's available

 

[hohosaregood]

if we can get suter, this will be a net positive FA period in my books.

Ah, if you guys could somehow squeeze in Mattias Ekholm on an empty parking lot...perfect for Erik Karlsson and Merkley alike. The pick, the prospect and a player. And some pucks.

 

[Hodge]

Kampf is the non-tendered Hawk I'd be most interested in. Heavy defensive zone usage, 6'2 center, still relatively young at 26. Basically a much much cheaper version of Cizikas.

Have to assume they would have given him a QO if he could stay healthy at all.

Agree 100%. Though I’m guessing Gambrell’s slotting into the 4C spot takes Kampf off the table unless he’s moved in a different deal.

Ahem… award-nominated Kurtis Gabriel.

 

[jarr92]

Not sure if this was posted already?



Takeaways:

- When discussing not giving up picks and prospects in 20-21, DW said "That goes out the window now"
- Expecting a couple guys like Ward and Martin coming over on short deals in UFA.

Caps just traded Brenden Dillon for a bigger return than DW got for him.

Seeing as he wasn’t a rental this time around and is coming off a season where he would’ve beaten his career high in points by almost 50%, kind of a no duh he got a slightly higher return.

Washington traded him with 3 years left at $4 million in a flat cap league with everyone aware they needed to clear space to sign Ovechkin. Honestly I think the Jets screwed this up more than anything it's just funny they paid more for what should be a depreciated asset compared to when we traded him. Dillon may have had a few extra lucky assists but it's not like he improved as a player at 30.

Doug said Ward and Martin style last year and then signed Marleau and Nieto. Its bs

He never got that specific last time around. They made a concentrated effort to get younger in the middle/bottom 6 during the covid pause (which he said last October). There is no misconstruing what he’s saying and how definitive he’s being this time around with his intentions and moves he’s trying to make.

The contract isn't a bad one nor is his age that preclusive. Winnipeg also has to do stuff like this because their player pool is so much more limited than almost any other team in the league because no one wants to play there. Overall though, pretty fair return for a positive value asset in a league that values big with skating ability that is a good teammate more than ever right now. Plus, this is still a league where Duncan Keith got a young bottom pairing guy and a 3rd at his age and contract.
