Ladislav Smid

I'd take Smid or Murray for sure.

Streit would be perfect but no chance that happens.

Didn't realize he had (2) more years after this one.

He blocks shots, is a pain in the ass to play against, has decent hands.

Slow-footed though for sure. He is better than Bickel. About on par with Eminger.

sweet hands bro

He has been GOD AWFUL in Buffalo this season.

I'd take Smid or Murray for sure.

Streit would be perfect but no chance that happens.

My wish-list would be:

Streit
Smid
Murray

Streit is a legit top-4 PPQB

I know you're joking, but that was totally all on Sedin.

He has been GOD AWFUL in Buffalo this season.

Oh, that's a shame. From what I saw of him last year (not very much) he looked pretty good. I think I've only watched 1 Buffalo game this year.

 

[Tawnos]

To stray away from all the ROR talk for a moment...

Can anyone think of some cheap d-men we could pick up at the deadline to shore up the bottom pairing?

Depends on what side we're looking for.

The following are listed at RD in the last issue of THN and are UFAs this year.

Marek Zidlicky
Mark Streit
Lubomir Visnovsky
Francois Boullion
Sergei Gonchar
Mike Lundin
Mike Kostka
Mike Mottau

John Erskine

Yeah, the Buffalo fans are actually celebrating him being scratched. And their defense as a whole hasn't been stellar.

Strange: The Avalanche haven't told GMs what the price is for Ryan O'Reilly. They're saying: Make an offer. Most GMs are puzzled by this.

That is pretty odd.

Can anyone inform me what happens if Colorado doesn't move him and he refuses to sign? I'm not sure of what happens to their/his rights, etc...

Also shows what Sather and Gorton think of RoR if they (allegedly) offered MDZ right off the bat. Must value him pretty highly.

Huh. I do the same thing when I have no idea how to value someone in fantasy leagues.

 

[Tawnos]

I'm not sure what's puzzling about that. Interest is probably pretty high and Sherman wants to cull it down to the teams with the best opening offers.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So it was the Rangers that brought up DZ's name and not the Avs? Surprised. I wouldn't think that the Rangers would throw up DZ right away, would think they'd try Stralman first.

Yeah, OK Simmons. GMs talk to you. Sure.

Teams know what a players value is. You have to realize GM's don't like to waste eachothers time.

O'Reilly can't be a group III until he plays 7 accrued seasons or is 27. He has 3 accrued seasons. O'Reilly won't be getting an accrued season this season. The NHL hasn't announced what number accounts for an accrued season this season. Say its 28 games played. He won't be traded in time to play 28 regular season games. O'Reilly is 22. He could have been a group III at 25 if didn't hold out this year and met the accrued games requirement.

Notably, we offered Rozsvial+Zherdev for Dany Heatley. And we decided not to bring back Zherdev at that salary.

I think it's still within reach. 24 games would be same proportion for a 48 game season. It just has to be games on the roster, too, not games actually played.

Well considering what the Jackets were asking for last year and what they ended up getting, why is it such to believe teams ask for/offer too high/too low?

 

[NYR Viper]

Nash had a NMC. I think the Rangers may have known Nash wanted to be a Ranger so they were in a bit more control than they are now.

I think they know O'Reilly's value and probably know what other teams are offering. Hence, MDZ.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Because the Nash situation and the O'Reilly situation are not the same.

I am bit overtired today and I am most likely just missing it, but I am not following

Colorado will just retain his rights indefinitely. His NHL choices are either sign with Colorado or hope for a trade.

 

[RGY]

My picks would have to be either Streit or Visnovksy.
