Speculation: Fantasy GM Thread | Post-The Purge Edition

[CanuckleBerry]

Vegas isn't going to want Pearson at any price. Their depth forwards will have to be league minimum types.

If you want Nic Roy, send in an offer sheet at the cusp of the 2nd round pick compensation tier (~$4.1M).

I thought we couldn't offer sheet Nic Roy at that price because we don't own our 2nd rounder this year?

Offer sheets can’t be tendered until July 12th so it’s next year’s draft.

Ahh. Well then... time to piss off some GMs. nyuk nyuk

This year the draft is on July 7th/8th and free agency opens July 13th, so I think, it would be next years 2nd for any offer sheets.

edit beaten to the punch.

Don't really know if this is the right thread for this, but we absolutely have to offer the ACoach job to Brunette if he's willing to take it. I suspect with Boudreau's age, we might be a more tempting option than a lot of teams.

That being said, he probably has enough leverage to hold out for a head job.

 

[theguardianII]

Even Jim Benning wouldn't do these trades.

Jesus.

Just a compilation of some of the ideas being stretched out for.

It takes two to trade but sometimes there can be "an offer that can't be refused"

Dubois has essentially declared he is not going to stay in the Peg so for them to trade him now could be beneficial if they get back a young player like Boeser.

Vegas HAS to trade to get under the cap, in teh past they would have called Vancouver and offered up a player they didn't want for a late pick, not now though.

Ferland and Poolman (not likely to ever play again) offers them more LTIR space to get closer along with Weber. This time the Canucks can ask/demand a particular player. Roy and Hague. They can't afford to sign them anyway so adding in Burroughs, a guy under contract for league minimum might push the deal.

It’s a slow news day but here’s something.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Petterson blows. Unless shipping out Myers, that would be terrible.

Mgmt would have some solid stones to trade Brock. Be impressed if they do.

 

[VanillaCoke]

So basically the usual Sat special no new news

 

[MS]

Reilly Smith is the sort of 31 y/o 50-point guy you walk the hell away from as a UFA and replace internally. That’s a huge mistake by Vegas if reports are correct.

Right? I don’t get this at all… a cap strapped team with a perfect opportunity to free themselves of this level player/contract.

 

[Ottobot]

Smith would be mental to resign there after how they’ve treated players anyways. Take a little less for some trade protection maybe, but he’d already have to take less just to stay.

except hes part of their misfit line with marchessault and karlsson, their best line.

If they let that go, they might as well start over.

already lost tuch, and reaves and Pietrangelo is getting old.

Once they did Eichel trade, knew they would likely not be a contender anymore.

TBF, dim did something similar with Pearson who is even more washed up than Reilly and a lot of dim fans supported it. And we aren’t even contenders like Vegas is/was.

Vegas is all in too deep to start doing things in moderation now. It’s balls to the walls and nothing internally until they have to rebuild.

We are in a similar situation unfortunately. In too deep to retool but we are trying anyways. Sigh. I hope Alvin is faking and we rebuild instead.

 

[Gstank]

Hoglander for Roy straight up makes sense to me. Vegas gets a good player on a ELC who probably has the same value as a high 2nd round pick. We get a RH 3C who may cost more $ but is a more established player

TBF? Because Jim Benning made bad signings Vegas gets a pass? Grow up lol. Signing Reilly for that $ is a huge mistake

I’d do it. We’d need to unload Dickinson but this is a Hog trade I’d probably approve of

I don't hate that idea.

I also have a sense that the current management really soured on Hoglander. I would not be shocked if he is packaged away in something this off-season.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Have this feeling that the avalanche is going to finish up tonight… and that we could start to see some action/trades this weekend or very early next week.

 

[rypper]

Am I crazy to not be really interested in trading a player with top 6 potential for a 3rd line center?

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Depends on the 3rd line centre… I mean with kuz we now have a bit more “top 6” wing depth. I don’t feel good about running with Dickinson or lammi as our 3C.

This is assuming miller could be moved too.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Am I crazy to not be really interested in trading a player with top 6 potential for a 3rd line center?

It's the sort of thing I would do if we had 7 top 6 guys with 2 good prospects coming up and no good 3C. I wouldn't do it right now.

 

[Diversification]

Am I crazy to not be really interested in trading a player with top 6 potential for a 3rd line center?

a 3C in a vacuum might not be as valuable as a top 6 W, although I would argue they are pretty close. But in our situation, we need to lose in areas we are strong to gain in areas we are woefully deficient. A center that can handle high leverage minutes and still produce some offense is way more important for team success than someone we can slot in alongside EP or BH.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Mgmt would have some solid stones to trade Brock. Be impressed if they do.

They've talked many times about having to make some tough decisions that may not be popular and I think the Boeser situation is one of those decisions.

 

[Vector]

The best part of this is that when any media from back east reports on the Canucks it forces our local media to either try and refute it (usually Dhaliwal) or dig deeper.
