Speculation: Roster Building Thread LV: One More Day

[Ola]

I wouldn’t go 4m plus on a long term deal for Anders Lee, a Milan Lucic waiting to happen. But if we had cap space, I wouldn’t mind him on a 1 year deal at say 12m per...

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m not sure that Dreger tweet even makes sense. Would he even be eligible for 8 years if they had dealt for him? Trouba isn’t eligible for 8 years. Why would panarin be?

But if it’s accurate and they did try it that would just mean to me that they couldn’t get a deal done with money relative to what the NYR is offering.

11:59 pm last night.

CBJ needs to offer insane money against shorter term to stay in the race

Likely meant sign&trade, which would give him the 8 years.

It's entirely possible this is why CBJ was trying to get him signed last night.

 

[Kovalev27]

Only way that dreger tweet makes sense is if the isles were trying to get Columbus to do a sign and trade. Which I highly doubt sounds like dreger is clueless as well.

 

[will1066]

Hey @Crease I’m not sure if anyone corrected you yet, but Trouba is a RFA.

No. Trouba is RFA.

 

[Section311]

When was the deadline for the 8th year?

Last night and it would have had to be a sign and trade

 

[Leetch3]

If trouba is arbitration eligible does that allow us to buyout shattenkirk at a later date if needed?

Give it up. We aren’t buying him out. If they were it would have been done yesterday

Why do you doubt that?

I wouldn’t rule it out if Panarin signs. It’s not a good option to me, but there’s enough smoke there.

 

[Kovalev27]

Why do you doubt that?

When’s the last time that happened? Not to mention between division rivals. Not to mention between teams that are fighting both to get the guy.

I hope it did happen. Like I said if the isles were desperately trying to get Columbus to do a sign and trade it means their offer wasn’t good enough to beat ours in relative terms

 

[Kovalev27]

I wouldn’t rule it out if Panarin signs. It’s not a good option to me, but there’s enough smoke there.

Is there a second window though?

Someone needs to file first

 

[Kovalev27]

Portzline (who’s very good) says it’s us or islanders

 

[Section311]

Someone on the rangers would have to go to arbitration and then you get a second buyout window

 

[Kovalev27]

Someone needs to file first

Ahh ok so trouba would have to file. That’s a technicality though really. They could be taking time to see if they can find a trade partner if not trouba files and NYR then sign a him before it gets to arbitration and a 2nd window opens up correct?

I agree with this. If they were desperate to offer 8 years, but ultimately were not able to, doesn't that mean it's unlikely for him to go there? I feel like Dreger(and most of the media reporting on AP at this point) is clueless. This has been a bizarre 24 hours.

 

[will1066]

Just convert Smith to full-time forward. At least he's a little useful there.

I’m sure deep down Columbus knew they were out. So it’s a matter of him going to NYR/NYI and getting nothing, or getting something to facilitate him going to NYI. Assuming FLA is out, which I don’t even know anymore.

 

[Thirty One]

Is there a second window though?

Only if Trouba, Buch or Vinni file.

 

[Kovalev27]

The media can’t pin this one down because gorts is probably in control and nothing leaks from that management team

14th forward/8th D.

Well it didn’t happen sooooo

 

[Kovalev27]

So they just have to file. Don’t have to actually go thru with arbitration correct?
