Speculation: Buy-low candidates

[RememberTheRoar]

Max Domi is a more talented Versteeg. He's a great piece on the right team. AA out of Detroit is another one I'd be interested in if he's cheap.

If the Oilers are intent on being the Oilers Klefbom is a guy I'd absolutely be in on. Chia is absolutely dumb enough to value a guy like Seabrook to boot. Seabrook+Hino+Nashville's first for Klef? I'd do it all day. Gives them a first and a cheap winger who can keep up with McDavid.

If Stan could pull that off, we should all be required to send Stan handwritten thank-you notes.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I don't see him as a top pairing guy. I think he tops out as a really solid #3.

Even at that, he’s roughly the same price as Murphy. A Klefbom-Murphy second pairing could be something good.

For sure. He'd really help the PP too. We need a trigger man.

you have been much higher on Domi than most of us, I do not see why you continue to want this guy, his IQ is just poor and his goal totals have just plummeted since his rookie year. In his last 150 games he has 18 goals, hard pass for me...I don't seem him anywhere near Versteg's level of creativity and ability to generate offense with and without the puck...

Totally would take Klefbom though, would do that trade in a heartbeat as well, and retain 20% as well for Seabs just to remove him so we can use that space for younger assets.

 

[AmericanDream]

Could Tony DeAngelo be a name? I know he’s a RHD, but he has potential to be a PP quarterback.

I think his days are almost numbered in the NHL. He really hasn't come anywhere close to the player he was in the OHL, and though not hearing much about attitude issues anymore, probably not the guy we want to bring in for Q to watch play once and then squash the next 3 months in the press box/minors.

If he can't make the Rangers out of camp this year, kid should start to get real worried soon.

Talent is undeniable and he's got a high motor. Doesn't think the game well but I really think leaving the desert will be great for him.

he is fast, but so is Hino who I think can do a great job next year if positioned properly. it's the goals DHF, the guy just doesn't seem like he can process the game at a fast enough rate...and his shot has leveled off, seems like a lot of weak wristers in the games I saw.

what would you be willing to move to get the guy?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Like I said, not a lot. Hino is a good comp. Let Domi be A guy instead of THE guy and I really like his upside.

would you move pick #27 for him?? Maybe package the Hossa contract and pick #27 to the Yotes for Domi and maybe a 3rd rounder back or something like that?? Domi is an RFA as well, no clue what the hell he would sign for, but I can't imagine it being more than $2.5 mil with what he has done the past 2 years...

 

[BobbyJet]

Domi's best asset is his character and his current value should be quite low .......with a pretty good upside.

It would have me thinking.

Thankfully the Joker is good at this...which would mean in the not-to-distant future we could, if somehow we landed Klef, have 2 guys at the blueline who, unlike Keith, can hit something else besides the opposition's shins.

 

[Teemu]

I think that de Haan is one of the best bets for someone that might sign for a reasonable cost (due to the injuries) but who might be able to play at more than just a bottom-pairing level.

Giving up too much...Yotes should be giving up a pick for Hossa’s contract given the rising cap floor. Current Domi plus a third isn’t worth 27. I’d rather take 27 and add a third to move up 5-7 spots.

How much would you consider reasonable?

 

[Kevin Musto]

How much would you consider reasonable?

4-5M

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'd be very surprised if that's the highest offer he receives.

 

[Rolo]

Karl Alzner received 4.65M x 5..

De Haan is younger, but Alzner has a bigger reputation, and doesn't have 'size' so maybe he gets 4M x 4-5.

 

[AmericanDream]

it will be a player market especially on defense...we are all hoping to land a De Haan or Moore for around $4 mil...I just have my doubts with the pathetic amount of depth available this FA season...

 

[AmericanDream]

It would have me thinking.

to move that Hossa contract out and get access to that cap right away instead of after the season starts, AND get a player like Domi who could do well here if playing with the right guys..for a #27th pick that has a low chance of being anything better than Domi has me thinking as well...I think both Arizona and the Hawks make good trade partners yet again in a number of ways...
