1 for 1? I will take that and run lmaooo.

Yeah I don't think so. Serg is RFA, and will be getting a pretty big pay hike. We need to protect him in the Seattle draft. He was sheltered in Tampa playing with Hedman. He is a LHS, vs Bouchard who is a RHS. I'm not sure if I make that trade 1 for 1 to be honest. I'd have to dig into Serg a lot more to understand his underlying numbers and what not, but it is certainly not a slam dunk of a trade for me.

Wtf is with people wanting to throw Klefbom away? We don't even know the extent of his injury when he'll be back if he'll be back etc and people just want to throw him away like he's a cap dump?

At worst he's been a solid #3 on a very good contract with a bum shoulder and suddenly he's trash?

Klefbom is a legit top pairing Dman on a great contract. He should be on our untouchables list with Mcdavid, Draisaitl and RNH.

 

[McShogun99]

With Lehner signed in Vegas for 5 mill AAV, Vegas is currently 100k over the cap with only 6 d and 12 forwards

What a deal for Vegas. I'd consider him the top UFA goalie this year and only signed for 500K more then Koskinen.

Nobody on our D is good enough to be untouchable.

And this is why you don't give full NMC to anyone. Whenever they want to leave, they can hold you hostage and force a trade to one team and you never get fair value.

He is not a legit top pairing Dman. Just because he plays a lot of minutes on a team that doesn't have anybody better doesn't make him one.

Part of the reason why the Oilers have stunk for so long is because they depend on Klefbom so heavily and he's too unreliable to be depended on because most of the time he's missing games or playing injured, every year. Untouchable? That's crazy talk.
You don't give him away of course but he's most certainly on the trade list for the right deal.

Pens resigned Jarry for 3 years with an AAV of 3.5 million

Nuge & Klef are certainly valuable, but Connor & Leon should be the only untouchables

 

[Ninety7]

There should be no untouchables on this team aside from the two obvious ones.

We have two of the best players in the league. We should be trying to win NOW.

Boston is gonna get him on the cheap

 

[Beerfish]

Klefbom is a legit top pairing Dman on a great contract. He should be on our untouchables list with Mcdavid, Draisaitl and RNH.

I totally disagree with this. 30 games a year he plays like a top pairing guy, about 10 games a year he is the worst D man on the team. He gets hurt a lot. He is an inconsistent player.

His contract is excellent no doubt about that, as far as replacing his contributions? Not too hard.

I have no problem with the B's beating Vancouver if they're the final two teams.


Again.

Sorry guys but what is this deleted item that everybody is quoting and referring to?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Klefbom doesn't play enough games at a high level to be a legit top pairing defender. He gets massively overplayed, same with Nurse cause Tippett doesn't trust our d for shit. That's a bad thing.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Sorry guys but what is this deleted item that everybody is quoting and referring to?

I don't see anything which has been deleted on my device...it's a tweet which implies OEL Boston and Van are the only two teams he'll accept a trade to with offers on the table. That's how I interpret it anyways.

You don't give him away of course but he's most certainly on the trade list for the right deal.

The 2 years that he played the majority of the season we finished 2nd in our division. 2 points behind Anaheim in 2016-17 and 3 points behind Vegas this year. He's not flashy but he makes his partner better and has a good first pass. I'm not saying he's a #1 but he's an excellent #2 and should be untouchable with his current contract.

Doesn't that first part worry you? He might miss this whole year for surgery, and has played the majority of the year for is TWICE.
If he is usually missing a bunch of the year and your team can only make the playoffs when he is healthy....that's a damn problem when he is rarely healthy.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Slew of goalie deals this morning. Is this going to be like goalie musical chairs this year where more guys sign early for less just to make sure they stay in the league with the flat cap? I'm curious if that'll have an effect on the mid level UFA goalies. A team like Edmonton could get a good deal on a 1B option if Holland is patient, but could also get left holding the bag depending on how things shake out.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I'd love MA Fleury at half price....a proven legit #1 goalie

I doubt he waives to come here but it's a dream

Just like how Petry was a “#5 dman on other teams” right? Our fanbase seems to have realized what a **** up running Petry out of town was (there was like 3 of us defending Petry, but now everyone acts like they knew what he was back then...) but now they’re trying to do it with Klefa? Jesus Christ. Stop trying to dump our best dman.

Hopefully his shoulder is good after this major surgery and we can get 2 full seasons out of him before he gets a raise. The problem is that we now need a top 4 Dman to replace him next season.

I don't think anybody is trying to dump him...he certainly should not be untouchable though

Hopefully is shoulder is good. Something we have said many many times.
The team needs to stop treating Klefbom as it's top defender and find one that can actually play for us at a good level for most of a season. Then when Klefbom is actually healthy for a bit, it's a boost.

Relying on a constantly injured guy to run your dcore is a major reason the team can't stay good

Yeah MacT really f***ed up not signing Petry long term when he had the chance. But...McDavid...so....
