I wonder if they'll trade EP in the offseason, and "replace" him with a re-signed Lindholm and the other player (also re-signed) they get in a hypothetical trade.From this I can gather 2 things.
They will resign Lindholm.
Prospects like Lekki and Willander are in play provided they get back a cost controlled RFA with term.
It absolutely does, just need to hit on the right playerMakes total sense.
I actually think the opposite? The way friedman is posing this statement, is that they won't do it again. which would mean whoever they just traded for, probably told them they want to test FA. Could be zadorov but wasn't there rumors that he might be traded again before the deadline? So, it could be zadorov but I think they are eluding to lindholm more here, imo.From this I can gather 2 things.

If I am completely wrong which is obviously possible (how's hronek been doing lately?), how can vancouver afford lindholm (7-8), pettersson (11-13?), and hronek (6-8)? Van has 36 mil in space, but only 2 defenseman signed. So they have the space to get them all, but the defense might take a pretty big hit as compared to this year. No backup goalie too.
Would be very interesting for sure.
Norris is a possibility, although it would not be a "sell at a discount" type trade.Who would be an RFA type player in the 23-26 range that would be moved and ready to help Vancouver now? A lot of those players are either not good enough to move the needle or too good to get traded.
Only name I can really think of is Necas and not sure Carolina is moving him for prospects when they're trying to compete.
This guy:
Holtz to Vancouver (E4.20)
I feel like Vancouver would be stupid to turn that down, but I'm probably higher on Rantanen (and Byram) and lower on EP than mostWe've had EP40 discussions on the AVS side many many many times.
Byram+Mikko
For
EP40
Hoglander
Losing hoglander in that deal, that’s a rough sell, he’s having a breakout year.I feel like Vancouver would be stupid to turn that down, but I'm probably higher on Rantanen (and Byram) and lower on EP than most
This guy:
We won’t give Zadorov 5 million, that would be bad cap management. We also need to replace Coke and Myers in this scenario and Bluger and Joshua.Let’s say both elias takes up 20 million.
Hronek goes for 7.
We still have 10 million in cap space. 5 million goes to zadarov.
Podkolzin will replace will fill in. We just need to replace Myers. We fine man.
