All Purpose Trade / Roster Building Thread VI - We have goalies, but can they stay healthy?

[Chrispy]

Is Makiniemi officially coming over? Just wondering since we have Lyon and Warm as well. Maybe Makiniemi goes to Florida or we have a taxi squad again with Lyon.

I guess we qualified Wells for the expansion draft and begged him not to accept the offer?

Wells will go to Florida for a year and barring a breakout, not be qualified next year. He probably won't even be the starter in Florida.

No need to worry about him beyond that. I'll be surprised if he's in Chicago at all this season.

Did we actually sign him? After trading for him it was really quiet. Never actually heard we’d officially qualified him but I assume we had to have.

The team confirmed the QO on Twitter, nothing since.

His name was in the list of names the team put out that was qualified

and Chrispy got you covered

I don’t think anything will happen with Korshkov. I wonder if Wells or Lajoie try to go to arbitration to get a one way deal. That is why we haven’t heard anything.

I think Korshkov is the only one with arb rights, at least according to CapFriendly

My dad is a John G. That movie was weird for me in that regard. But is this John G in question Gibson or Gaudreau?

Hahaha Gaudreau, his value has likely declined, BUT he is the game breaking type, pure scoring winger we need as another threat on the ice.

 

[MinJaBen]

I hope we aren’t spending any futures on bringing in guys we have to resign or lose within a year. This team just won’t sign them.

Ball is now in Wells' court until August 6, when Qualifying Offers Expire Automatically (5:00 p.m. New York Time).

If he wants a NHL SPC for certain because that gets him tail in bars, he signs. But he can also try get himself an offersheet to an organization where the AHL goalie job is better open. No pick compensation to be paid below $1,356,540 AAV.

By 5 p.m. today or soon after, we should hear.
Wells, zero games in NHL, zero chance for one way.

Lajoie, 56 games up in N in Ottawa Senators 2018-19 in his first ELC season that counts, 3 in AHL, not much since that season... there is an existing risk for one-way one.

Cleared waivers on Jan 11, 2021, so there's that speaking for two-way... but so did this guy Ned.

I'd rather trade our 2022 2nd and possibly the Ducks 6th for Tarasenko @ 50% retained (pending results of examination of his shoulder, if that is allowed) instead of overpaying for Eichel.

My reasoning is this still allows room to sign Svech at 7.5 a year, hopefully, after 2 years our young guns will be ready to take Tanks place, when compared to each other Tank has the better of the stats, especially when it comes to playoffs, (Eichel has no playoff experience) and the Canes won't be burdened with a 10 million a year contract for the next 5 years.

Then I would try to trade Gardiner, both of our 3rd's and Bokk to the Wings for their 4th, in a strictly cap dump trade.

 

[TheOllieC]

Top-6 Stepan confirmed

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Top-6 Stepan confirmed

Or the Canes are in on Tatar, one or the other. Hopeful it's the former.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Noesen on a 2-way is a nice add for the Wolves. Meh 4th liner in the NHL but produces well in the A. Rich get richer (by AHL standards).

 

[Stickpucker]

Offersheet EP ....probably less assets than trade for Eichel.
Trade Tro ? for Foresberg...both contracts expire in one year.
Dump Gards

Foresberg Aho TT
Svech EP Necas
Old men

Obviously we'd never send a crazy offer sheet Van won't match with the way we negotiate with our boys.

Easy enough.

I'd rather tank the year than trade for Eichel.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

If Tarasenko goes NYI, maybe we can get Palmieri for cheaper

 

[Ole Gil]

I don't know if I'd want Eichel for free. 10 million for a PPG guy with serious injury troubles for a bunch more years?

And Buffalo wants people to give them 1sts and good prospects.

I wonder what the 3 highest paid players to win a cup are. Vasilevsky and Kucherov were at 9.5, but that was shenanigans. I don't think a 10 million a year player has yet?

If our roster is set, on paper this looks like a bubble team to me. Hell adding Tartar doesn't really move the needle that much does it?

If DeAngelo plays up to his talent level, no, this is still a very good team. You need to pray that he stops being a head case, though, at least for a full year.

It comes down to who in the Metro has gotten better?
Capital- less defensive depth, Young unproven goaltending, older stars
Pens- lost McCan with no replacement, Jarry still their #1, stars are getting old
Philly- shuffling deck chairs?
Islanders- best team in the metro
Rangers- do we know how they are supposed to be?
NJ- better but how much?
Columbus- oh no

 

[DougieSmash]

I wonder how much of DeAngelo production is playing with Panarin and Zibs. I don't think he's thaaaat good at all.

 

[Tryamw]

last thread over 1k but I was stuck at work. Continue

also we really need another top 6 forward

Id like 2..

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

DeAngelo is really good offensively in his own right. We're talking about a guy that produces at both 5-on-5 and on the PP. No other non-Hamilton defenseman on the market has those traits, not even Tyson Barrie. As far as the PP goes, I mean, it's a double-edged sword. We have Aho/Teravainen/Svechnikov/Trocheck on our PP. He should be just as productive with those four, if not more so considering that our PP units are deeper than the Rangers.
