Confirmed with Link: Tom Pyatt re-signed 2 yrs, 1.1M AAV

[Benjamin]

Stalberg is the guy I'd like to see come back.

Pyatt was okay, but I prefer Stalberg. Burrows also here for two years, so they come off the books at the same time.

I'm guessing Smith moves back to the 4C spot. Burrows - Smith - Pyatt now.

Not a chance. Smith is way too good for the 4th line. He'll be a top 6 winger.

 

[emo]

Very good deal. Expected him to hold out for more. Seems like we should be able to get Pyatt, Stalberg and Wingels all re-signed for less than 3.5/year.

Where would you put everyone?

Hoff-Turris-Stone
Mac-Pageau-Ryan
Smith-Brass-Dzingel
Burrows-X-Pyatt

Would you re-sign Stalberg and Wingels when you only have one starting roster spot left? Would they?

 

[saskriders]

Very happy with this deal.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Nice deal!

Stalberg next pls.

We don't need Wingels.

We don't need Wingels, but if he fit in well with the team why not bring him back as a 13 fwd?

 

[Sun God Nika]

I like pyatt this deal is ok. Now please sign Stalberg

 

[operasen]

Not a chance. Smith is way too good for the 4th line. He'll be a top 6 winger.

If White plays with Pageau, there is no room for Smith. He will not unseat Hoffman or MacArthur (unless he retires and his spot is open)

I sort of expect us to trade a young forward like White or Dzingel... I also think Smith could be used as our 4C.

The real reason, though, is I forgot to include Pageau

that said... I do think we have something cooking.

Its more likely White centers the 4th line than Smith.

 

[Sensinitis]

Because Colin White.

 

[operasen]

Its more likely White centers the 4th line than Smith.

Personally I hope not. He needs players like Pageau who see the game so clearly. That said, if the plan is to keep White as a centre, it could happen.

 

[Benjamin]

Because Colin White.

and Paul, McCormick. Plus we'll probably have our yearly ahl/nhl tweener UFA we sign that we promise some games to.

Looking at the roster and taking into consideration the internal budget, I'm not even sure they bring back Stalberg, or even sign a bigger name UFA. White or Paul will get a crack at the 4C spot with the other being the 13th fwd.

 

[DrEasy]

I don't mind this deal. Now I'd like us to get a top 6 forward who'd bump somebody down to complete the rest of the roster.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I like it. Was a big Pyatt fan last year. Vet depth with capable guys is a good thing.

Stalberg next. Toss Tommy.

I think they try to bring back Stalberg, they gave up a 3rd for him and his a versatile player. But i could see Stalberg wanting 2 years. I think i would give him 1 years.. because we have Young player who at some point will need to play.

But Wingel won't be back i think.

Tha your fourth line can be Burrows-White-Stalberg/Pyatt

Or White can play the RW on the 3rd line for now.

 

[delchief]

Like the deal. Also agree that Wingels is not needed. Waste of money there. Not a terrible player but redundant in this organization. Stalberg would be a nice signing at the right price.

Hoffman - Turris - Stone
Smith - Brassard - Ryan
Mac - Pageau - Pyatt
Stalberg - White - Burrows
(Dzingle)

Claesson - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Kulikov - Harpur
(Boro, Wideman)

Andy/Condon

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

awesome to have Condra back or whatever he calls himself now

 

[BonkTastic]

Pyatt did absolutely everything to perfection last year except score. $1.1mil for the positive effect he brings every time he steps on the ice is a good rate, and 2 years is fantastic as far as term is concerned because it protects the team in case he declines any time soon.

Nothing to complain about here. There's almost no risk in this contract whatsoever, it's all upside.

 

[JungleBeat]

He'll probably regress this upcoming season. Meh deal.

Love this deal. fair price, vet defensive 4th liner, won't likely ever have to play with Kelly again!

Pyatt is a solid bottom 6 addition.

 

[slamigo]

I'm pretty happy about this. He is a smart player. Tons of hustle. Good signing.

 

[Cosmix]

Nice deal!

Stalberg next pls.

We don't need Wingels.

My thoughts exactly. Good deal to get Pyatt for 2 years at $1.1 per.

Stalberg would be great at $1.5 per for 2 years.

Then get a number 1 Center; or a big scoring winger via trade or UFA. Plus. LD to replace Methot, possible Kulikov or Alzner.

 

[Super Cake]

 

[BonkTastic]

Makes sense. He's exactly the kind of role player Boucher likes, and his skill set is almost uniquely perfect for Boucher's system. Chances are he'd have a lesser role on almost any other team in the league. For a guy that was out of the NHL 2 years ago, I'm sure he just wants to keep on keeping on with what's working for him.

MVP knows which side his toast is buttered on.

 

[OD99]

That's what we like to hear.

Good situation for him too. He might have received a few hundred grand more somewhere else but knowing you have a significant role and the trust of your coach is a pretty big deal too.

Especially for a veteran.
