Would you have accepted the Seabrook & 3 OA for 10 OA offer?

[82Ninety42011]

There would at a minimum have to be a contract going the other way to make up the $875k difference in cap hit between Seabrook to Myers. Even sending spooner out evens it out a bit as his buyout costs them $1 mill per for the next 2. So net zero difference in current cap hits until the contracts in 2021 come off the books.

Seabrook has a nmc. He’s spent 14 years in Chicago, 4 years in the WHL with Lethbridge and the prior 16 in BC of which the first few years he doesn’t remember.

Don’t think he would have been eager to waive his nmc.

I would have no interest in taking Seabrook on even if we didn't sign Myers. No idea if Byram even pans out better then Pod. Would I have taken Byram over Pod sure but not if had to take Seabrook who is pretty close to worst deal in league (Loui).

Myers and Seabrook have put up nearly identical metrics over the past 3 years. They're both going to regress, but Seabrook has a much higher level to regress from and still be good. Tyler Myers 26-28 years old is the same caliber of player as Seabrook just was 32-34....This analysis has made me more fearful about Myers going forward than thinking Seabrook sucks.....because if Seabrooks sucks, Myers is about to suck harder.

Have you been living under a rock for the last three years?
Seabrook stinks now, the guy can barely skates. He’s going regress to Gudbranson level pretty soon

Seabrook still put up 28 points (which would have made him 2nd in scoring behind Edler) while averaging 19 minutes of ice time last season and would be a welcomed top four defenseman here. I think you guys are underrating Seabrook tremendously. He's still got two or three serviceable years left. Am I the only one who's watched this defense scrape by with a lack of NHL bodies for the last decade? No one is arguing he's a boat anchor but he'd be a more serviceable boat anchor than Loui Eriksson or Brett Sutter.

I also don't think it's a Myers or Seabrook argument. So we bring in Seabrook and in the process get Byram. So we don't sign Benn and then we drop any of Eriksson, Baertschi or Sutter while adding Seabrook, Myers and Byram. Rebuild the defense in a month while jettisoning crap. Easy.

Seabrook > Benn

I found this funny.

 

[elitepete]

Yup. Because we signed Tyler Myers to an awful f***ing contract anyways. And I think Seabrook only has 4 year left vs the 5 we gave to Myers.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Edler - Tanev
Hughes - Schenn
Stecher - Seabrook
Biega - Myers
Byram

Vs.

Edler Myers
Hughes Tanev
Benn Stecher
Fantenberg Biega

 

[zcaptain]

No probably not the way you wrote it up...……...too much advantage to Chicago

Eriksson + 10 OA

for Seabrook + 3 OA

Yes

This will be a very interesting thread to bump in a couple years.

I suspect Byram will be considered a vastly superior asset to Podkolzin and that Myers and Seabrook will be considered roughly equally terrible assets, but we’ll see.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

It would have been an interesting proposal were we not a veritable bad contract plantation out here. The Seabrook contract would put an end to our misery prematurely, I think. Even we have our limit of bad contract spots.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Funniest thing I heard last trade deadline was John Shannon 'reporting' that Stan Bowman had't decided whether or not to make Seabrook 'available'.

 

[hcg]

No. Not for the 10th.

 

[Pip]

Yeah probably
