Roster Speculation 2017-2018, Episode IV, A New Hope

[Aapo]

Hope to see these pairs going into next season for a triple push:

Eichel - Okposo
Reinhart - ROR
Larsson - Kane

 

[TehDoak]

A thought:

Kane to Vancouver for Virtanen and a 2nd
Baptiste and a 2nd to MN for Scandella

Sign Gionta to a 1 year, 2.5M deal
Sign Larsson to a 3 year, 4.5M deal
Sign Girgensons to a 2 year, 3M deal
Sign Beaulieu to a 2 year, 4M deal
Sign Lehner to a 2 year, 6M deal
Sign Foligno to a 3 year, 7.5M deal
Sign Condon to a 1 year, 1.5M deal.

Leaves you around ~14M in cap space

XXXX-Eichel-Okposo
Girgensons-O'Reilly-Ennis
Moulson-Reinhart-Virtanen
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta

Scandella-Risto
Beaulieu-Antinpin
McCabe-Bogosian
Falk

Lehner
Condon

Try to find a good short term value at LW to play with Eichel.

Zero chance Vancouver makes that trade

Edit: did not realize he was struggling /that much/ in Van.

I think I saw you post this on capfriendly? Not a bad idea, quantity for Kane, and then flipping some pieces for Scandella. I could see that kind of move with Kane to any number of teams like Vancouver or Los Angeles, or others.

Personally I'd rather deal Bailey than Baptiste, but that's me.

I really hope Botts has something else up his sleeve for the defense.

Sounds like it's a monster free agent signing.
