Value of: Overpriced Top 4 Defense

[Bank Shot]

Pointless. All you're gonna get is terrible players with too many years left on their contracts, e.g., a pure cap dump like Ceci.

Weegar-Andersson
Kylington-Pachal

That's a good enough top four for the rest of the season. The bottom pairing is gonna be brutal if it's Oesterle-Gilbert but that's on Huska for not being willing to give Solovyov/Kuznetsov a longer leash.

Not sure why Flames fans think Ceci is a pure cap dump.when they were paying almost $4 million for Zadorov.

Second, even though Tanev doesn’t miss many games, the Flames felt not trading him was walking a tightrope because no one eats pucks like he does. Third, if Edmonton, Toronto or Vancouver was going to get Tanev, they were going to have to blow Dallas out of the water. Things may have changed, but, at one recent time, the Canucks also offered a second and a prospect, while Toronto was offering multiple picks — although the best of them wasn’t in the immediate future. The Oilers were the team that I believe put a first-rounder on the table, but included a contract Calgary didn’t wish to take.

I can fully empathize with Oilers fans wishing that Ceci didn't have that extra year on his contract making him a cap dump but alas, reality and having Holland for a GM can be harsh

Oh and then you have Seravalli saying stuff like this:


"cost to dump a contract or two"

Parayko is on an aweful contract that takes him till he retires and is probably the best blueline on an ugly contract though there is a crowd that still believes in him for past accomplishment so the price might be high.

Sheltering a rebuild's blueline is about all he's good for on that dog **** contract.

Parayko is worth every penny of his contract and is the Blues’ clear-cut best defenseman.

Krug and Faulk can be had, but just because people outside of STL are ignorant of Parayko’s performance does not make his contract bad. Nobody is worried about the last two years; $6.5M is nothing with a rising cap.

Like I said, he's a good defenseman in terms of sheltering a non competitive team.

6.5 on a declining asset that is signed that is signed till he's 37? That contract is a death sentence on a contender's roster.

Well that wild speculation sure cleared things up.

 

[triggrman]

Can I offer Schenn up? He's just taking space from young talent.

 

[drede]

Could of had Ceci and a 1st for Tanev but Flames ownership seems to be pulling the strings there. Not even sure if Ceci is overpaid for a #4

Wouldn't call ceci a top 4

Retain and leafs would take him back

 

[Homesick]

Really? He plays top 4 on a team that allows less shots and GA then the Flames. Must be the Oilers stellar goaltending

 

[drede]

Just because they have him in top 4 doesn't mean he's any good

Why would a team contending in 2024 be overly concerned about a contract that is currently a bargain and MAY be bad in like 2028? If anything it would be the opposite, your logic makes no sense.

 

[Crazy8oooo]

Doubt he'd waive for Calgary but Fowler could be had. Detroit might want him though.

Why would you pay to get rid of Fowler? Unless you didn’t see the part in the OP where he wants the player for free or “ideally” would get back something for taking the player.

Yeah, cause the inane ramblings of Oilers fans is totally more reliable

 

[shakes the clown]

You can have Seth Jones for a pair of cowboy boots and a 10 gallon hat. Just say yes and don't watch any film please.

I'm a Leafs fan and these rumors of him coming to Toronto are a nightmare.

His 6.5 + term = dead capsace that will tank a contender during their window.

Ewwwww no thanks.
