Actually someone is going to be extremely happy
Why would you compare him to Girardi? 5.5m for a guy who scores 21 points and has some injury history is not a good deal. On top of that, he will get 5-6 years easily.

Lol why did you compare him to Girardi? That makes no sense.

I had Demers pegged @ 5per for 5 years. That he's asking for $5.5m doesn't surprise me.
Guy can push play forward, and he's right-handed, someone will give him that contract. Much to the opposite of what I imagine most people here feel, it's a shame he can't get it from the Rangers.

If Demers asks for 5.5x6 as a GM I would just come back with Stralman as a comparable and he signed 4.5x5 at the same age.
Derek Stepan
Tanner Glass
ARI 4th round pick
7th OA
Martin Hanzal
2nd round pick (Not theirs but their compensation pick, don't know the number.)
And then
7th OA pick
Kevin Klein
Jesper Fast
3rd OA pick
Scott Hartnell
Don't think we send enough to Columbus but wanted to try a deal without giving up Kreider/Hayes/Miller. And I don't like the first deal without completion of the second.
I'd rather get more value out of Arizona than dump a contract on them. Glass only has one more year, so dump him in the AHL or ride it out. He also makes less than his cap hit, so maybe there's some actual value there now.
Dealing with CBJ depends entirely on how eager they are to move down and take Brown. I think it's 99.9% certain they just stay at 3, but I guess you never know.

5.5m for a guy - check
~20 points per season - check
has some injury history - check
5-6 years - check
Sounds like you just described Dan Girardi

Honestly I would think about just #7 and Hanzal for Stepan. Take Jost at 7. Hanzal to help short term, or even to be flipped.
When healthy (obviously not often enough) Hanzal is a really solid player. Can absorb the tougher minutes to free up Brassard.
I don't want to deal Stepan but that's the kind of deal that makes you think.

Presumably due to the similar salaries.
I hear ya. I just don't think they'd give up any of Strome/Dvorak/Tkachuk. If that means there's no deal to be made, that is fine with me. You can't **** up a prospective Stepan trade. Would be devastating to the organization.

I'm tellin ya. Stepan and a small add for Hanzal, Fischer and #7.
Adding Fischer too would be quite the coup.
Most likely we end up as disappointed on Friday as we did last year with the Talbot chatter.

Yeah that's probably the case. Too bad I'm already thinking of ways to maneuver the #7 pick into possibly adding a 2nd rounder as well. It's the perfect pick to get someone to try and leap-frog Buffalo to get their choice of a defensemen.

I think Fischer might be the guy that you settle for, but end up getting big value from. Like I said to Swayze, I'd deal Stepan for Hanzal, Fischer and #7 and be pretty jacked up about it.

Here's the thing... And it's interesting. I wonder if this also happened in baseball after Sabermetrics went wild... @-31- help!
Demers will probably end up being able to create a bit of a splash in the market because he does things well that are necessary for "new hockey"
He's also a right-handed d-man, which is a commodity these days.
The thing is though, is that the aspects of Demers's game that make him attractive should make a GM take a step back and say: "Hm. Maybe Demers is popular because he's a bit of a name, now. He is a growing star in the analytics community. He's on the ice for more shots for than shots against. etc.... "
But the thing about analytics is, that these GMs should say to themselves: "okay, can I get a guy who also does those things but for less term and AAV?"

So, does HF has some autocorrect feature that changes s-a-b-e-r to s-a-b-r-e? Because, here's a screenshot of me editing my post to make it spell right, and as you can clearly see above, that change did not take...

- He pushes play
- He generates offense
- His partners do better with him than without him

When Girardi signed his extension he had only missed FIVE games his entire career to that point due to injury (he played 569 out of 574 total games).
Even still, he's only missed 14 games in his entire career total. He's played 725 of 739.
