Speculation: Free Agents and Teams you specifically see as fits?

[justafan22]

For example: I see Vancouver and Montreal to be interested in Tyler Bozak.

New Jersey, and Washington among others for Carlson etc...

What are some fits for upcoming UFAs that make too much sense?

[Brock Radunske]

Calgary, Edmonton, NJ, Anaheim for JVR.

 

[rent free]

Toronto and Ian cole and Calvin de haan

 

[north49er]

The Jets might be looking for a center to go with Ehlers and Laine.

 

[AvatarAang]

NJD/JVR seems like such a perfect fit.

Vegas/E.Karlssson although he's not a UFA

 

[ThomasG]

John Tavares to new Jersey makes a lot of sense

 

[jaric1862]

Toronto and New Jersey for John Carlson

 

[Zippy316]

Calgary, Edmonton, NJ, Anaheim for JVR.

Can JvR play RW. Devils have a bunch of left-handed LWs at the moment which is the main thing holding back this from being a perfect fit.

Calgary, Edmonton, NJ, Anaheim for JVR.

I agree with Anaheim for JVR our forward core was absolutely horrible in the playoffs this year. The ducks need an immediate shake up. Only problem is the money. But I’m sure Murray will figure that out. Whether it’s Perry traded or something along the lines. JVR should be perused.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Paul Stastny and Colorado.


At this point, unless he re-signs in Winnipeg I would be absolutely shocked if Pauly doesn't come back to Denver.

 

[Cogburn]

Vancouver isn't a fit for Bozak. We have Pettersson and Gaudette ready for a chance and we have Horvat and Sutter, not to mention expiring contracts like Granlund and Dowd. Don't give our imbecile of a GM any ideas.

Carlson or Tavares fit us like a glove. A top end improvement at C or D would fill a pretty big hole. A power forwarding forward like Nash if he came cheap would be the only other need, anything else and I think we are better serve filling that hole internally.

 

[logik47]

Lehner to Detroit or Dallas
Jack Johnson to New Jersey or Toronto
Paul Stastny to Montreal

 

[ChiHawk21]

De Haan to blackhawks
Carlson to New Jersey
Stastny to Montreal
Johnson to Toronto
Tavares to Columbus
Bozak to Philly

 

[JackFr]

Dumb team and Riley Nash

 

[DXStriker]

Tavares to SJ (Thorntons money) or to VGK seem like it could happen

 

[93gilmour93]

Tavares and De Haan to Toronto

 

[brock0791]

Toby Enstrom to Toronto.

Probably the best available UFA D-Man who you can get on a 1-2 year contract and won't mess with the Leafs cap future

Good mentor for Liljegren

 

[justafan22]

Dumb team and Riley Nash

I'd sign Schaller for one year and get 75% of the production next year for a 1/4 of the cost

 

[57special]

Hopefully the Wild don't waste any money on big time Free Agents. Staal aside, there have been some awful contracts in the past couple of years.

 

[Setec Astronomy]

I don't see the Devils trying to sign JVR. I think they'll go very big (Tavares or Carlson) and/or small (Jack Johnson on a small deal if no one else wants him).

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Toby Enstrom to Toronto.

Probably the best available UFA D-Man who you can get on a 1-2 year contract and won't mess with the Leafs cap future

Good mentor for Liljegren

There will be plenty of teams that will offer Enstrom more than 1 or 2 year deals

 

[BonMorrison]

van Riemsdyk to Anaheim makes a loooooooot of sense.

 

[brock0791]

There will be plenty of teams that will offer Enstrom more than 1 or 2 year deals

Maybe if he's willing to take a pay cut down to 3m or so... don't think he'll stay at his current earning level unless it's 1x5 or 2x4.5 ish

Ian Cole
John Carlson
Mike Green
John Tavares

And before somebody posts "stupid Leafs fans think everyone will sign there!!!!"....these are players that fit with Toronto, we may not sign any of them.

 

[Bordeleau Of Blood]

Paul Stastny and Colorado.

Came in here to say this. He's a perfect fit as the Avs 2nd line center.
