TSN: Panarin tops 2019 Free Agent Frenzy class

[All blacks]

Most of these guys will sign with there teams before July 1st

 

[BHD]

1. No to Huberdeau, he is an untouchable.

2. If Hoffman is moved, it will be for a top 4 Dman.

Friedman threw out the names of Yandle and Hoffman when discussing the Panthers moving salary. He also made it sound like Trocheck, Barkov, and Huberdeau are safe. Not sure about Dadonov though.

 

[Beezeral]

True, but if Dater is to be believed, then that mutual interest at least somewhat exists. Panarin's agent took in some Avs playoff games, as well. And there's a strong Russian community in Denver. Not saying there's anything there, but I do think the possibility exists that he could sign with the Avs. Sakic would likely need to sell him harder on our city than Tallon would on Miami, though.

When one random local writer is the only one running with a story, most likely it isn’t true. None of the main talking heads have the Avs in the race to sign panarin. Could something crazy happen and he does have interest? Sure. But I wouldn’t count on it as an Avs fan.

Was that something recent, or what was said a couple of weeks back?

Yandle would be tough because he has a NTC, plus he is our PP QB.

Hoffman is the most likely, especially if they get Panarin. I really would like Hoffman to stay, but if we are going to address the blue line, then someone will probably have to go.

Doubt Dadonov goes anywhere, and signing Panarin would result in the opposite of Hoffman. Dadonov is friends with Panarin, and they are former teammates.

 

[GaryPoppins]

Nice. Hainsey made the list.

That's embarrassing on TSN lol

 

[GaryPoppins]

Bob is gone.

Assuming Panarin leaves, I believe Duchene stays

Tbh, why does Duchene stay if your #1 goalie and your top 5 winger are leaving?

The dude wants to win and the lack of picks/all that's given up has put CBJ in a pretty bad situation

 

[GaryPoppins]

I like that you put this together. I'm going to guess that Meyers does not go back to Winnipeg just because of the cap space issues. I would think that Columbus would go after Varlamov when Bob walks.

The list looks go though.

Myers will not be retained, likely.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Panarin - Florida
EK - San Jose
Bob - Florida
Duchene - Habs
Skinner - Detroit
Lee - Isles
Pavelski - San Jose
Nelson - Isles
Myers - Winnipeg
Zuc - Dallas
Edler - Buffalo
NyQuist - Edmonton
Eberle - Columbus
Ferland - Carolina
Gardiner - Habs
Dzingel - Columbus
Hayes - Colorado

Why is Detroit throwing $8M+ at a winger when it's the one position they're strong in?

 

[The Madrigal]

That list sucks. A few guys that are on there shouldn't be, and a few that aren't, should. The ''rankings'' are extremely questionable too.

 

[bert]

Considering age and injury history, I'd take Panarin over EK easily.


Also, with Holland coming onboard I think he signs either Nyquist or Vanek this summer. Maybe Eberle if he wants to come back on a team friendly deal. Possibly guys like Tanev, Donskoi.

They are one year different and also on the Oilers you would take Panarin over Karlsson? Thats absurd.

Its ridiculous to have Panarin ranked ahead of Karlsson.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Kakko-Zibanejad-Panarin
Kreider-Chytil-Kravtsov

That top-6 would be a god damn show.

 

[135ace]

Do Panirin and Bobrovsky realize that the Panthers are a joke of a team that would suck even if they both signed there?

 

[DarthProbert]

Colorado will go hard after Panarin. If they don't get him, I'm hoping they can pick up Hayes + another secondary winger, like Ferland or Donskoi.

I don't see Colorado doing something like Panarin. They have cap space now but when they pay Rantanen, and then in a couple years Girard and Makar, and then eventually MacKinnon, that'll still be within the 7 years Panarin would get. They'll target second line players cause their first line is solid and young.

Money, great weather, no state taxes bro.

 

[57special]

Agreed, but they'll still make a heavy push. Sakic has to do something about the lack of true secondary scoring on the team this summer.

Eh...they'll be fine. At least they've got primary scoring. And Makar will start chipping in from the back end.

 

[Treb]

Their D is that bad? Because goaltending is fixed with Bob and their fwd seem good with Panarin?

Being a multi-millionaire in your 20s and living in Miami would definitely stink. Not even Lebron would dumb enough to pick Miami in Free Agency.

 

[57special]

I want the Wild to sign Karlsson. We'll have the highest scoring Blue line in history. Who needs forwards, anyway? Flighty bastards.

The whole sand in your speedo thing can get to be tiresome.

They’ve got cap coming off the books and are already well under the cap. Sakic has set the team up incredibly well with the cap, and he needs to take advantage of having MacKinnon on such a cheap deal. Just need to make sure he targets the right UFAs, at this point, and give them deals that fit within the long-term plan.

The April 10th edition of his 31 Thoughts podcast. Him and Jeff Marek were spitballing, but I don't think Friedman would suggest a name if he didn't think it was plausible. Going back over the episode, Yandle sounded more like just a name being thrown out there while Hoffman sounded more likely. Again, they were going over how the Panthers could bring in Panarin and/or Bob without having to give up too much talent.

 

[boredmale]

Other than the fact I believe he will resign with SJ, I would rate Erik Karlsson #1

Oh but that’s where you’re wrong buddy. They shoot us right into the playoffs. Adding Q was huge. Continue to live in the past though.

Yeah, I heard that one. I figured we were thinking about the same podcast.

They can create the cap space needed to add the duo, and a piece on defense, without getting rid of much talent. The problem is, it looks like Luongo wants to come back for one more season, even it is as a backup. If we can LTIR him, and move Reimer, those two moves alone free up over $8 million in cap space.

The Devils are a joke of a team. Better get used to picking 1st overall for a while.
