If Seattle was entering next year, what player do you give up?

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Also no deals, you have to give up a good-ish roster player.


Jets, I would offer Matty P or B Little.

[Rygu]

Mike Smith

 

[ShootIt]

Dadonov and Hoffman for a 4th.

If same rules apply 7/3/1 or 4/4/1

I would protect:
Barkov, Huberdeau, Dadonov, Hoffman, Borgstrom, Tippett, Trocheck
Yandle, don't care.
Don't care

I would give them Ekblad and a Thank you card.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

For the Maple Leafs, I think Zaitsev.

People will say Brown or Hymen, and like to shat on these 2, but I personally really value the work ethic and versatility they bring to our line up. Not to mention their PK skill and the fact that they are hometown boys that play with pride

 

[Crede777]

Jackets will be faced with likely losing David Savard, a 2nd/3rd line forward, or Korpisalo (if Bob stays).

 

[Prince Pasta]

Bruins would likely lose grzelcyk which stinks

 

[SotasicA]

Doesn't matter for the Hawks. Anybody who is worth anything is exempt. And a bunch of players you'd love to move have NMC's.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

In order...

Johnson
Maatta
Rust

 

[ManofSteel55]

Best option would be to pay them to take Lucic and place Sekera on LTIR, but that's unlikely, so it would probably be something like this:

Protect:
McDavid, Lucic (NMC), Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins, Sekera (NMC), Larsson (NTC), Russell (NMC), Klefbom or Nurse and one goalie (both are pending UFA's at the moment though). If Sekera can go LTIR then we can protect a pile of other forwards -

Which would mean we would lose one of Nurse or Klefbom. If we can LTIR Sekera then we can keep both and lose Pulujarvi, Cagguila or Spooner.

Chiarelli has sure made a mess of this one.

For the Maple Leafs, I think Zaitsev.

Seattle taking Zaitsev is nearly as likely as them taking Lucic. Dubas will have to pay them to do it.

Don't think they are in a similar category, personally. Clear differences in age, salary, position, skating, etc

 

[CP4]

They most definitely are. Zaitsev is up there for one of the most overpaid contracts currently in the league. Seattle definitely won't be jumping at the chance to grab Zaitsev.

Overpaid, I agree, but not by much. Same category as Lucic? No way. Agree to disagree I guess

 

[ManofSteel55]

Don't think they are in a similar category, personally. Clear differences in age, salary, position, skating, etc

But the similarities lie in very important aspects - neither are worth a fraction of their contract, both are paid hefty sums to be more than bottom liners but aren't. Why would Seattle take that when there will be useful NHL'ers on decent salaries available?

 

[Cor]

The main players available from TOR would be Garret Sparks, Zach Hyman, Connor Brown, Nikita Zaitsev, and... Calle Rosen?

I could see SEA taking Sparks. If Ken Holland is the GM, it might be Brown or Zaitsev.

 

[Prsut18]

DETROIT... take the whole team (well, not Larkin and Zadina maybe)

 

[Bieber fever]

Carey Price to Seatlle could be win-win for everyone

 

[TeddyBare]

Zaitsev

 

[Rodgerwilco]

:

Brian Rust
Jack Johnson
Tristan Jarry

Are probably selections from each position that I would be most okay with leaving available. Despite the fact that I like Rust, he may have lost his scoring touch (it was always kind of touch-and-go to begin with).

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Carey Price to Seatlle could be win-win for everyone

having niemi as the number 1 goalie would definitely not be a win for the habs...

 

[Bonin21]

Everyone mentioning goalies is kind of redundant.

you need to list the players each team protects and then look at the players left and how the team would not take

not just who a fan base wants to get rid of

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Some good players because Seattle is finally a hockey team

Borgstrom + Tippett would not need to be protected.
