Do we have to sign him by this offseason?

No, not until August 15, 2022. However, if he's not interested in signing this offseason, you probably gotta move on for something.

Fixed

If it comes to that, I hope they are willing to give solid value like last time.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

One of these times maybe not this year... maybe not next year... one of these college boys is going to want to come play for the canes rather than the dog water rags

Jeremy Welsh and Chase Priskie did.

If we sign Drury he has a decent shot to make the team next year. I think it's obvious that McGinn has priced himself out of town as a UFA, and I'm not as sold on Foegele as you all are. I kind of like Drury as a Foegs replacement, perhaps, and we can deal Foegs for a 2nd. That's not to mention Martinook will also probably walk.

In any event I'd like us to have not all 12 forward spots locked in next year. I want legit room for a rookie forward. On top of that, we might also want to get another top 9 for inevitable injuries like we have now. It's clear whoever plays with Necas/Niederreiter at wings gets a huge boost in play, and whoever has Martinook/McGinn/Foegs probably won't score that night but will constantly look like they are trying hard.

 

[spockBokk]

If Drury signs, the 4C spot is likely his to lose. I think they end up retaining at least 2 of McGinn, Foegele, Paquette and Martinook. Sprinkle in some Lorentz, and there’s a big portion of your bottom 6 next year.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I could see all (or at least 2) of McGinn, Paquette and Martinook moving on next year, depending how Geekie and Lorentz fair the rest of this season.

Of course, you all know how good I am with roster predictions so maybe they'll all be back.

I agree although I don’t.

I think there will be a deal that we don’t see coming that changes all of this

No way they can keep all of Martinook, Foegele, Paquette and McGinn. That’s almost a whole Dougie Hamilton in cap space. However, I don’t think they let them all go. Personally, I think McGinn is the one I’d like to keep the most out of those 4.

I agree with you, but he is also the most expensive of the four as well. I think the three UFAs walk and they resign RFA Foegele. Lorentz has already made Paq obsolete...no chance he gets signed.

Yeah, McGinn and Foegele probably have the inside track on another Canes’ contract offer. I also think they may leave Foegele unprotected for Francis. That might at least make KrakenFrancis think twice about who to take out of Bean, Fleury, Skjei or Foegele.

 

[spockBokk]

An article with a passing mention (after translating) about Drury and contact with the Canes while he’s in the SHL:



Basically they’re happy with how he’s playing over there, no real specifics on when or if he’s planning on signing soon.

 

[Highway29]

It's quite strange feeling. I have never liked McGinn much. But he's probably the one I'd keep too at the end of the day over Foegele, Paquette, Martinook.

Drury is heading for World Championship in Latvia.

That's a nice bit of experience and exposure. The WCs aren't exactly a best-on-best competition, but they involve a lot of NHL'ers and a decent sized spotlight.

While sitting in the press box for the playoffs and getting to skate with the team might be fun, it's hard to argue with getting real ice time in a competitive international tournament.

And play with future teammates Blackwell and Jones

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Took me awhile pondering how they could've possibly come up with those lines and pairings before I realized it was alphabetical.

Getting to play for his uncle early. Hmmmmmm....

 

[spockBokk]

Just won bronze at the Worlds and also scored a goal today. I suppose either he’ll be signing soon or he gone to ufa

 

[DougieSmash]

I really like the pick back then and would hate to lose him... One of those all intangibles guy with great motor and high IQ, undereated two way game.
