Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Top 6 Forward or Bust

[Jet Walters]

Bergevin is going to be sitting all by himself at the next GM meeting at this rate.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Andersson isn't an RFA this year, Bennett is arbitration-eligible and could be out of the offer sheet picture by 3.

You're right my mistake, I would still look at Bennett though because they still have Tkatchuk to re-sign.

It could be that once that stigma of making an OS is broken... could open a door to a bunch of them.

The NHLPA certainly wouldn't mind.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Is Brandon Carlo good enough to pay $4~M to? Because that's an offersheet idea right there, get a top-4 RHD.

No it won't, there's loads of things to take in consideration. Like salary structure, compensation. And of course salary cap. They just can't throw those like breadcrumbs to ducks.

$4M for Carlo is a bargain. He's a stud.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

They should offersheet Bennett for the 2nd rounder max pay.

The only issue I have in relation to the Oilers is if you're dealing a 1st round pick, you should believe your team will be a playoff team. I don't have that belief even with the addition of a bigger fish via offer sheet.

So if I'm using an offer sheet, it's because I want to use 2nd round compensation, especially if I feel like i can recoup that 2nd somehow else down the road.

This also plays in hand with the fact we barely have any cap space.

1.395M - 2.1M = a third round pick offer sheet

2.1M - 4.22M = a second round pick offer sheet

 

[LMFAO]

Per Friedman and Pagnotta, Montreal threw an offersheet Brayden Point's way earlier this morning but he turned them down.

I don't think Aho was the only offersheet we'll see this summer.

Pretty sure Montreal can't offer sheet anyone until Carolina officialy match the offer sheet...so this is BS

 

[McDNicks17]

Lindberg or Sheahan for 3C for me with Cousins gone.

Been banging a drum for Sheahan since the start.

Seems like an absolute no-brainer as a cheap #3C unless Holland knows something about him that we don't.

 

[MessierII]

They should offersheet Bennett for the 2nd rounder max pay.

Why? I’d only throw something like that at a legit 3C.

They can still discuss it with Point. They know the Aho offer sheet will be matched.

 

[Spawn]

We want a 4.2M mediocre 3rd liner... why?

 

[MinimaMoralia]

Welp. I don’t know. Time to sign Ferland for a 4 by 6?
For better or worse he’s probably one of the better bets to solidify the top six for a few years, adds s new dynamic.
Overpaid for sure, but on a line with McDavid and Kass, that could be a handful.

 

[Jet Walters]

Yamamoto + Manning for Blake Coleman

Pulju, Gagner, Benning, mid round pick for Toffoli

Coleman RNH Toffoli

It’s what we do best.

 

[McDNicks17]

Throw a 2nd round max offersheet at Marcus Pettersson on the Pens.

An all Swedish D would be in sight.

That’s a lot of dollars and term for him.

 

[Paralyzer008]

I would be tempted to see Paul Fenton give out another bad contract and offer sheet Kevin Fiala at max 2nd round compensation, although they can match that one cap-wise.

It would screw them next year though for re-signing Jared Spurgeon if you threw some years on the offer sheet.

 

[Llamamoto]

Yamamoto + Manning for Blake Coleman

Pulju, Gagner, Benning, mid round pick for Toffoli

Coleman RNH Toffoli

No thank you. He's 27 who was a career AHLer up until two years ago. I'm not trading a top-6 forward prospect for him.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'd throw a 2nd round pick OS his way in heart beat, the Bruins still need to get McAvoy and Heinen done

 

[McTonyBrar]

Coleman RNH Toffoli

LOL WHAT IS THIS?? Throw away a 20 year old prospect who played half of year of the AHL through an injury, on a 25 goal pace for BLAKE **** COLEMAN???

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Colorado should offersheet Marner/Point at 12.5M and Gusev at 4M

Gusev can’t be offersheeted

 

[Jet Walters]

Are you sure you're not biased because of your username? Coleman is a very valuable piece who can really skate and help the PK. Scored 22 goals last year and signed dirt cheap for two more. He helps us more than Yamo in the next two years.

On pace in the AHL is a lot different than actually scoring over 20 in the NHL like Coleman did last year. Coleman is one of the best value contracts in the league for the next two years.
