Miscellaneous NHL Discussion: Off-Seasoning III

[Tripod]

I'd love that deal, hell I'd throw in a 3rd or a lower tier prospect

Well, that's what I thought too. Somehow we are the only two .

I would love to add Tatar as well.

Problem is, by trading MDZ, it means one of AMac, Schultz, Provy or Manny have to face the top lines with Gudas as his partner. That certainly is not ideal.

FWIW.

What kind of contract could be offered to Vesey? Is there a contract amount or length restriction or is he a bonafide UFA?

 

[Curufinwe]

He can only get an ELC because he's under 25.

The defense played well the second half of the season w/o MDZ. Streit/AMac/Gudas/Schultz/Ghost/Provorov is better than what was iced last year. From a total team performance perspective, if trading MDZ gets the Flyers a decent top six LW, is that a bad move to make?
Additionally, MDZ will be a UFA after this season. He's presently getting $3.875M per. Does Hexy see him as a long term Flyer and if he does at what price? If MDZ has a good year he's probably going to be in the $5M per category. How the Flyers deal with MDZ will be an interesting story.

Plot twist: signs in Nashville. Was just trying to generate buzz about his name.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Him signing in Chicago would pretty much just be the norm

It's confirmed now. http://swisshockeynews.ch/index.php/switzerland/nla-new/6883-confirmed-kris-versteeg-signs-one-year-contract-with-sc-bern

Kris Versteeg signed 1-year deal in Switzerland (NLA) with Bern. This guy is sure-fire NHLer, better than many of curret NHLers so I am curious to see how dominant he's going to be over there.

Living in Switzerland with your family, that's great option.

I remember being called out when I mentioned a couple of days ago the possibility of the Red Wings interest for Streit .

 

[Curufinwe]

That guy seems to assume his burning desire to trade Streit is shared by Flyers management.

 

[hatcher]

Gotta get him off the roster if they can. Good call on the red wings by the way.

 

[kudymen]

If we were able to get Jurco in a Streit deal, I would be quite happy

 

[Curufinwe]

A bunch of good young players thought to be exempt from the ED will actually have to be protected, or Vegas could pick them. Pulock is the obvious stand out to me.

A professional season may still count for a player in a season where his contract slides. This is because the slide rule calculates age based on the player's age on September 15. So a player who turns 20 between September 16 and December 31 could have his contract slide because he does not play 10+ NHL games. However, if that player plays 1+ professional game in that season, for expansion purposes his age is considered to be 20 and the season counts as a professional season. As a result of this distinction, the following players previously believed to be expansion exempt will need to be protected or otherwise will be eligible to be drafted by Las Vegas:

http://www.generalfanager.com/teams/expansion

William Carrier (BUF)
Emile Poirier (CGY)
Hunter Shinkaruk (CGY)
Ryan Hartman (CHI)
Anthony Mantha (DET)
Jonathan-Ismael Diaby (NSH)
Ryan Pulock (NYI)
Kerby Rychel (TOR)

Why? The guy had 6 points last year in 44 games. He can barely crack there roster. I do not understand the infatuation of trading Streit for spare parts. We don't have a built in replacement on the right side. And please no one start telling me AMac or Schultz can do it. If anything, let Streit see if he can rebound from his injury and sell him near the deadline for something worthwhile.

That's what I wonder as well....who plays the right side if Streit is moved?

And I would rather a 2nd rounder than Jurco. We have enough bottom 6 players.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Hextall has a full squad and under the cap. He's going to move Streit if/when he wants too. He's not going to take a junk deal.

So, since he didn't play a game in the NHL can be sign with an NHL team after the SWiss season is over?

Danny DeKyser just resigned for 6 years at $5 mill/year.

I don't pretend to know a ton about him, mainly because I don't watch the Wings much, but that sure seems steep.

 

[Hiesenberg]

It's deals like that that's going to make us pay 7MM for Ghost. Ghost will probably score 50 pts a year. Dekeyser scores 20.

 

[Hiesenberg]

lol...and he got a modified NTC.

Jesus Christ, what an abortion of a contract.

He's like Vlasic but not as good.

 

[BillDineen]

DeKeyser deal is pretty bad.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

That buys 5 UFA years, correct? He's coming up on his age 27 season.
