Salary Cap: Salary Cap/Roster Thread - As we look forward

[Ryder71]

I really don’t want us to trade kessel... Not this year at least.

Letang? Yes please.

Agree on both fronts.

#TeamKirk

You want to draft Liam Kirk too? Good to know you haven't gone fully native in Canada

 

[Clare2904]

I stayed away until about 3 days ago for the same reason.

Hello dear

So, do I need to move @Scandale du Jour into a padded room tonight in case #58 is dealt?

 

[Shrimper]

I'd be interested in seeing what Letang could get. Still a top player on his day but his brain fades are something he needs to work on. I reckon he could get a 2nd + Top Prospect + depth player.

 

[TheSniper26]

I like Skinner but pursuing him seems... odd. It feels like just about the last type of move I would have made after this last postseason.

God I hope so . . . on both counts.

EDIT: As noted, end of season, I was told the only one who wanted Letang to stay was Letang. But, it's been totally quiet the last month. Nothing would surprise me where Letang is concerned.

His Wife is due this week too so I doubt hockey is on his mind. Hopefully JR has his acceptable team list handy.

It could be the right time to though. His value should be at its highest right now and we can still have a better or team moving forward.

JR knows what he’s doing, most of the time

I mentioned this yesterday. You look at our team, and who are the 3 edgiest players we've got. I'm not talking tough guys. I'm talking guys who are pricks to play against in the Hornqvist vein. I argued the top 3 is Horny, Geno, then Sid. Oleksiak is big but plays soft for his size. ZAR hits, but there's no nasty to his game. Jake and Rust will go at guys, but when it comes to nasty/edgy/a little dirty . . . whatever you want to call it, it's Horny, Geno, Sid, and that's a testament to the mix being wrong up front and overall. Like you, I don't see how getting Skinner augments the mix, unless there are other moves (e.g. Phil) designed for that purpose.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I'll be disappointed if the Pens land Skinner. Of all the names mentioned that this team could reasonably be after, Nino would be my preference.

 

[domaug]

man, Letang is such a weird case. if not for the mental gaffes and injuries, his contract would likely be the steal of the league.

 

[KIRK]

So that makes you Glenn Close?

 

[Turin]

Skinner only makes .8 less on the cap than Kessel. Hmmmmm...

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m excited if Letang gets traded. Would be nice to see him go dominate somewhere else so people can stop saying Crosby and Malkin made him.

Also, I think our D needs a mix up. Any player outside of Dumo should be up for grabs.

It’ll be funny if Schultz’s falls flat on his face and the “please god” move Letang crowd starts eating him alive.

Hey, I have Instagram

 

[orby]

Letang to Edmonton for Klefbom + would be like the archetypal Chiarelli trade for what it's worth.

Agree 100% with the bolded.

Also think the mix up front needs tweaked.

Klefbom + 10AV would be the archetypical Chiarelli trade.

i would like a deal around #10 overall and a solid roster defenseman. i think JR can massage that out of Chia lol

What's that plus? Pulju?

 

[deakka]

Only reason we should go after Skinner is if we have a deal lined p afterwards. For example, Kessel to Wild for Nino/coyle/zucker +

 

[Gurglesons]

Letang to Edmonton for Klefbom + would be like the archetypal Chiarelli trade for what it's worth.

Yeah, if Chi offers up 10th overall and Klefbom I don’t see how you can’t take it for Letang. Future and current top four D. Just please make that pick count.

Knowing Rutherford he probably turns around and gives Carolina 10th overall for Skinner or something.

If they get Skinner that doesn’t mean they couldn’t get Nino

Letang for McDavid you mean?
