So Who Goes TO Make Room?

[LeafSteel]

Friedman expects up to 4 moves to make room for Dermott and Hyman.

So who goes? Choose up to 4.

Interested to see how we do.

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Spezza, Petan, Shore, Marincin

Spezza, Petan, Shore, Marincin

This is my thought too.

And one of AJ or KK later to give some breathing room.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

I don’t think Spezza goes until Tavares is back at the very earliest.

It sounds like Petan is done though.

 

[cipher]

Moore and Mikey? Those two must be used to weed out the troll votes.

 

[Duke16]

Petan, one (or both) of Shore/Spezza, and Marincin

 

[LaPlante94]

I say Petan, Marincin, Shore. Wanna say Tima or Speeza but after Tavares injury I feel more comfortable having Speeza C the 3rd line or even the 2nd line over Shore tbh if it ever came to that again. Tima would be hard to send down because I think he's earned a spot, so unless we trade Kapanen or someone else then I think having Speeza around makes the most sense since he can play wing on the 4th line or C if one of our topC go down with injury like Tavares has.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Petan out for Hyman.
Marincin out for Dermott.
Shore and Spezza due to the cap.

 

[Nylander88]

Are we only able one spare? Otherwise I'd say Petan,Shore, Gravel.
Spezza the extra forward, Marincin the extra D.
Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Kapanen
Timashov-Gauthier-Moore
Spezza
Rielly-Ceci
Muzzin-Barrie
Dermott-Holl
Marincin

 

[Einzakin]

Kapanen should be traded while he still has value

 

[Morbo]

Seems like a good time to make a trade, although I'm sure they'll end up waiving a couple guys too.

 

[Nithoniniel]

I think Petan, Spezza, and Marincin are safe bets. Shore might go too, if they need the space.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

I'd choose Spezza twice if the poll allowed it.

 

[Leafsman]

I think Gravel likely gets sent down as well.

Marancin, Gravel, Spezza and Petan

To be fair, I believe Petan has already been told they're trying to move him to a team with a better fit.

 

[ACC1224]

Won't this depend on who is waiver exempt and how much cap they need to clear?

 

[SprDaVE]

Petan, Shore and Gravel are pretty expendable to me.

 

[Gary Nylund]

I say Petan, Marincin, Shore. Wanna say Tima or Speeza but after Tavares injury I feel more comfortable having Speeza C the 3rd line or even the 2nd line over Shore tbh if it ever came to that again. Tima would be hard to send down because I think he's earned a spot, so unless we trade Kapanen or someone else then I think having Speeza around makes the most sense since he can play wing on the 4th line or C if one of our topC go down with injury like Tavares has.

Not sure why anyone would want to say Tima, he's looked really good. I'm hoping he's with us for a number of years to come myself.

I'd choose Spezza twice if the poll allowed it.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I actually think they keep Spezza around and Shore, Petan and marincin go

 

[Frelimo]

How is Gravel not included in the poll? He hasn't dressed in a single game and yet he's a safe bet to stay on the team?

 

[egd27]

Well Hyman and Dermott make about $3.1M between them and any two of the obvious choices only add up to about $1.5M.

So it seems that they need to either send 4 packing or move a higher value contract for futures.

 

[qqaz]

I hope Spezza sticks around. He's a fun storyline this season, and I think his experience and leadership are getting undervalued.

 

[jaric1862]

I think they hold onto Shore over Timashov. Babs really values that 4th line left side faceoff man/Right side faceoff man on the fourth line. Shore also penalty kills. They may keep Timashov as the extra Forward though. So i think for sure Spezza, Marincin and Petan (Talking about when all 3 of Tavares, Dermott and Hyman come back

yet another nail in babcocks coffin then. You cant send down the guy performing way better than another guy because left/right side faceoff guy

Kapanen traded for pick/s gets $100K in the positive just by trading him. $3.2M out $3.1 in that may be the best option, catch is what is his value anything less than a 2nd bare minimum and its 100% not worth it

Unless they really hate Spezza, they'll likely keep Spezza over Shore for the exact reason you presented.
