Speculation: JC and Hawks scouts at Sharks/Avs game

[Toews2Bickell]

If Karlsson said 3 years for $24mn ... of course, you have to think long and hard about it, even with Seabrook's contract. Unless Karlsson has a major injury, trading a 30 year old with only $16mn left on his contract with his resume wouldn't be that hard. I agree with your point.

However, I can't imagine EK65 would sign a 3 year deal ... and certainly not without a NMC.

Agree with all your points

Of course that's who they're looking at. I'm stupid for not realizing it. Good sleuthing. Nemeth is definitely the guy they want. UFA, only 27, a big and physical stay at home defender. He's literally perfect.

Keith-Jokiharju
Nemeth-Murphy
Gus-Seabs
Dahlstrom

ALL ABOARD THE NEMETH TRAIN!!!!!!!!

Not to seem like a know-it-all Nemeth hasn’t played against the sharks so it would be kinda hard to scout him. I only know this because I checked nemeth’s stats.

Our new flavor of the offseason is apparently playoff scratched that will be free agents...Dzingel, Donskoi, Nemeth...can we just sim to the draft already

 

[Tifosi]

I would give EK 4 years 40 million, deal ends same as 88/19 then you can rebuild or whatever. EK would be a huge boost to the current Hawks.

Byram-EK
Keith-Joker
Gus-Murphy

Or trade Gus for a good 3rd line C.

I'd do that too, but why would EK? He'll get better offers.

Karlsson is going to go for max term and dollars ... they always do ... it's like 30 M is not enough for one career when you can have 80M in the bank! Not that climate change will throw a wrench into the whole ball of wax! Oh and like a few have mentioned ... Ottawa got the best years of E.K. He will never be the same player ... still very, very good but alas I fear he will slowly or maybe not so slowly decline so that in 3 years or so be on level with Seabs for no bang for the buck status!

EK, I'd like it
Nyqvist, I'd like it

Pick swap with Avs, I'd consider it as long as the incentive is good enough.

is nyqvist playing center or wing right now? would be interesting to see him play center between some scoring wingers right now.

He plays W. Don’t think he’s played C at the NHL level. At least not for very long.

Also, I brought him up in the main board thread but we could be looking at Jost. Young player that’s a former high draft pick. Could be a nice change of scenery guy. He’s barely playing with Colorado.

Did Jost play with Caggiula at UND?

No, Caggiula finished in 2015-16 and Jost came in 2016-17.

 

[clydesdale line]

I remember Jost trying to fight Kane in a game. I still feel Avs really rushed him.

Yeah, I think he would’ve greatly benefitted from at least another year in school. Kid has talent though.

 

[Styles]

His foot is done. He’s getting a lot of surgeries this summer.

Strome 2.0

That move fits Stan’s recent strategy

 

[magnificent]

In Karlsson case could it be another Brent Seabrook story?
My guess, the team that signs him will regret it in the future.

 

[TheDachKnight]

Strome 2.0

Only thing is, I don’t think he sticks at C. I could see him playing LW and being a top-9 player though.

Would make for a good and cheap Anisimov replacement at 3C.

Looks like he could make sense to fit next to Toews and Kane and bump Caggiula down, or to replace Anisimov.

Either way, it’s not crazy to think they’re looking at him.

 

[Drumman44]

What would the price be?

 

[Kevin Musto]

What would the price be?

Hard to say. His point production pace is equivalent to Perlini. They both play about the same amount of minutes. Both drafted around the same spot.

I'd say those two are equal in value at this point. Jost has the edge in having some ELC years left.

But basically you could try to do a change of scenary swap with these guys.

 

[TheDachKnight]

Only thing is he’s really bad on faceoffs. Like Schmaltz-level bad. I don’t know what it is with UND Cs and being terrible lately on faceoffs.

Been saying this for a year. No one wanted to believe me because I'm not a doctor. Even though common sense says that a guy who has had that many injuries, and that much work done to one leg... is going to feel the effects of it. Seabrook 2.0. That contract will be the worst in the league as soon as it's signed, because someone is gonna give him 7 years and 10m+.

Don’t be that guy. Most of us agree with you that he will not be the same ever again (I am a big EK65 guy but have a limit obviously).

In regards to that clip, that was not an injury thing that is simply his partner making a fly by and EK65 getting caught flat footed. Just a bad/lazy read.
