Eichel

If that’s all it took to get Eichel, a team would have done it ages ago. An overpaid top 4D, a borderline top 6 forward, a promising goalie and a 1st? Only problem being the cap doesn’t work.

Cap works quite well.
We take on less than a million more in cap
9.275 vs 10
But you're right the value would never get you Eichel.

 

[Captain Awesome]

You still have to replace 2 of those players on top of adding to the cap. Also you can’t count Oettinger as saved cap, he’s not against the cap if khudobin and Bishop are playing anyway.

Dont over analyse it guys, thought id throw a bit of a tongue in cheek proposal after seeing the rumoured deal to Vegas which seemed underwhelming.

Where not in the Eichel market.

Bit of fun before watching todays madness

You have to replace 1 of them (lindell) eichel replaces Gurianov and as of right now we have 5.8m in space with oettinger on the roster.
Or 6.7 without.
So without oettinger it is 8.3 vs 10
Or 5m in space post trade
Depending on the suter situation, it's a league min defensive dman to replace lindell or Slightly better

I will bet you any amount that the return Buffalo gets for Eichel isn’t even close to this. I wouldn’t do this from a Stars standpoint at ALL.

If you weren't a random stranger on the internet, I'd take the bet.

This is really well done by the Avs. It's probably still too much for what he is, but it buys you 3 or 4 good years of Landeskog at a reasonable price.

 

[Satan]

Didn't even know that was a thing. Stamkos was never going to leave TB.

U must have a short memory

 

[ZeHockeyFan]

U must have a short memory

By all means, remind me.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Sign Granlund. That's all.

 

[Kipper 17]

Frenzy!!!

 

[Captain Awesome]

Sign Granlund. That's all.

How's he looking nowadays? The stuff I've heard about him isn't encouraging. I don't remember much of him during the past season tbh.

 

[Satan]

By all means, remind me.

Seguin and Spezza are both from Toronto

Stamkos is also from Toronto


their last names all begin with the letter 'S'

the Dallas Stars hockey team name also begins with the letter 'S'

Stamkos was supposed to sign with the Dallas Stars

 

[Satan]

Think about it

 

[ZeHockeyFan]

Stamkos was supposed to sign with the Dallas Stars

But of course. My bad.

Seriously though: If Nill and Co. ever pursued Stammer (in the same manner they did say, Tavares) then they're far stupider than I thought.

Wait, i thought because his first name Also started with an S, that the Rule of S named players didn't apply for stamkos?

Kind of like a double negative of S

Shit.... I don't think this has ever been considered

Why

Stamkos was one pajama photo away from leaving Tampa, everyone knows it

 

[Zapp]

Announce pius

 

[eartotheground]

are we there yet??

 

[JesusNPucks]

Concerning the (reported) Hyman, Danault, and Coleman, etc. contracts—it's as if GMs really can't help themselves this time of year. They reek of desperation.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Canes are pretty embarrassing org.

it's every year. unless there's some mitigating factor, you're going to overpay for free agents. such is the nature of a bidding war.
