Speculation: Anton Stralman's next destination and contract

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Where do you guys think Stralman goes after this season? Does he stay with Tampa (Who from the looks of it has massive cap issues), go to TOronto (Familiar and needs a defensive RHD), or somewhere else? Toronto seems most likely to get him if he doesn't sign with Tampa, however Toronto also has massive cap issues. Do you see Calgary being a possible destination for him, especially if they trade one of Brodie or Hamonic this offseason. ALthough cap space isn't a luxury for the Flames, it's not a big issue, and thus I think the Flames might be a possible destination.

[Todd1a]

Stralman is fading and has been injuried I would not give him term

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Dallas

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Montreal might be a good fit for Stralman.

 

[Amadeus]

Toronto can't afford him or anyone for that matter.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Montreal might be a good fit for Stralman.

Nah too many RHD.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Leafs won't be able to afford him unless hes willing to take a 1 year deal on the cheap. And theres no way hes doing that.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Flyers, he went to SC finals with AV in NY

 

[dkollidas]

Sabres. To play with Dahlin.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Stralman is declining, wouldnt want to give him more than 4m*2 years.

 

[thewookie1]

Buffalo, 2 years 4mil to help mentor Dahlin. His contract ends when Dahlin’s ELC ends.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Flyers, Leafs, Hawks, Vancouver, Florida all should be interested

 

[firstemperor]

Leafs probably can't afford him. Not sure we're all that interested either. He's not as good as he used to be and Muzzin-Zaitsev is still a open-book.

 

[The Madrigal]

If the Flyers are unable to get Karlsson or trade for a big time D (Subban, Trouba, Spurgeon) I would expect them to have serious interest in Stralman.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Leafs probably can't afford him. Not sure we're all that interested either. He's not as good as he used to be and Muzzin-Zaitsev is still a open-book.

Too bad, I think he'd be great come back to where it all began.

 

[Taylorst]

I wouldn't offer him no more than 2 million for 2 years.

That's the biggest albatross on these teams by giving declining players to much term and salary, instead of giving them lesser term and salary. That's how you manage your cap effectively.

 

[Taylorst]

Leafs probably can't afford him. Not sure we're all that interested either. He's not as good as he used to be and Muzzin-Zaitsev is still a open-book.

Toronto and Tampa won't be big players come July 1st. Their cap situation is coming home to roost.

Look for bargain shopping.

 

[Rschmitz]

Looked very average this year. Would make for a decent #4

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Leafs probably can't afford him. Not sure we're all that interested either. He's not as good as he used to be and Muzzin-Zaitsev is still a open-book.

Zaitsev is gone after the season there isn't much choice in the matter

 

[CupInSIX]

I'd rather try and get Coburn for 2m than Stralman at 6m+

 

[DavidBL]

I think the Ducks might be a decent landing spot. From what Ive read about him he'll go to the team that offers Term.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Depends what he is looking for. I'd be happy to give him no more than 2 years in NY.

 

[The Duck Knight]

If he's cheap he would fill a pretty big need for Vegas. Something like 2 yrs 3m per to replace Engelland.

 

[Taylorst]

If he's cheap he would fill a pretty big need for Vegas. Something like 2 yrs 3m per to replace Engelland.

I agree with the term 2 years, however at his age and he is more like a 4 or 5 defenseman now I don't think it would be wise to offer him no more than 2 million.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

There's a bunch of teams who could use him, so tough to guess where he'll wind up.

Won't be NYI, though.
