GDT: Fall Free Agent Frenzy

[Der Jaeger]

Something around Schmidt and Fleury could work for Buffalo. Sabres would need to move Hutton and probably Ristolainen to make it work.

 

[Gras]

And now Vegas has to start working the phones to dump more cap.

Vegas > Ottawa Flower(25% Ret) 2nd +5th for Ottowa 7th
Ottawa > Buffalo Flower(50%Ret) for Mitts
So we'd get Flower at a 2.6Mil Cap hit

 

[SundherDome]

Decent return though. 2 x R2s - or as I call it - a Hecht special.

If we had third this upcoming year, it might have been more palatable.

Is double dipping the retention legal?

[Der Jaeger]

That's a quality defender for a song.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

I wonder if we could get assets for Fleury @ 50% + McNabb. Those 2+ a 1st for a mid round pick or throwaway prospect.

Then move McCabe for whatever (4th rounder)

McNabb is bigger, tougher and better then McCabe with loads of playoff experience. He is used to playing 20 mins a night for an elite team. Oh and McNabb costs 350k less then McCabe.McNabb has an extra year but thats fine, 2.5 per for him is very good. Would give Samuelsson another year to develop and take over for McNabb. I am sure we would have to clear out Miller but I think we can recoup a 2nd for him.

Dahlin-Risto
McNabb-Joker
X-Montour

Think that puts Vancouver in a cap crunch.

Go get Boeser... then trade Reinhart for futures or to Arizona for Darcy + futures

Why are we trading Sam Reinhart for futures and a goalie, exactly?

 

[Beerz]

Why are we trading Sam Reinhart for futures and a goalie, exactly?

Because we got Boeser

 

[BananaSquad]

Im so happy Toronto didn’t get Petro. That was the missing piece for them to put them over the top, and it didn’t even come close to happening

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Why are we trading Sam Reinhart for futures and a goalie, exactly?

Well if the plan is really to play with speed and pressure, Reinhart doesnt really fit that with the cost he will be. I wouldnt trade him for futures and a goalie however

Every player doesn't need to be in that mold. Every forward on the pro roster can play that style aside from Reinhart, Staal, and to a degree, Okposo.

It happend on the Lehner trade to Vegas.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

The two largest fish left the free agency and one of them is with us.

And we got the better deal.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

This year is really weird.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

What would Alec Martinez cost?

That'd be a perfect fit 2nd pairing LHD who is good defensively.

Dahlin-Miller
Martinez-Risto
McCabe-Joker

You mean what would it cost Vegas for us to take his cap hit. They need to clear cap so they'd presumably be paying us.

 

[Ace]

Well if the plan is really to play with speed and pressure, Reinhart doesnt really fit that with the cost he will be. I wouldnt trade him for futures and a goalie however

playing with speed and pressure doesn’t mean you spent the entire game on the rush. You want to use it to get into the offensive zone and set up plays. Reinhart would get there eventually and is better in front of the net than anyone...and is better down low than anyone...and is one of the best set up men on the team

 

[SundherDome]

I have a weird feeling that VGK wants Hoffman too.

 

[Buffaloed]

Is Anthony Duclair still unsigned?

 

[jc17]

Lehner hurt might make fleury less likely

 

[TehDoak]

Lehner hurt might make fleury less likely

I'd call the timing of that announcement "highly suspicious" as in...."please stop lowballing us for all our salaried players, we're fine, see, IR dollars!"
