Keirik Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Starting a short list of guys that make sense for us for one reason or another. Feel free to add. JT Miller one year remaining next year at 5.25. Good all around player that still puts up points and is also is good from the dot. Yanni Gourde. 5.16m until end of 24/25 season. Obvious Strome long term replacement. Will turn 30 in a few weeks but is a proven playoff guy, has cups, still producing, and a reasonable replacement at 2c. Probably would take a couple of prospects to pry him away but doable on a team not really ready to compete. Dylan Strome. Young at 24, disgruntled rfa at the end of the year that can be bridged (currently at 3m). Has a 51 point season in 58 games in the past but tapered off last two seasons. Bonus points is we keep a Strome no matter what. Reilly Smith. UFA at end of the year. Obvious Gallant connection and Vegas needs to move money to get Eichel under the cap. RW rental that would fit in well and no long term cap implications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Watson would be a Blais replacement. -- Miller, Gourde would be Strome replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to bench Hunt because he's playing well. You don't want to bench Gauthier because he's playing well. You don't want to bench Reaves because he's playing well. There's no other obvious candidate. Sounds like a good problem to have to figure out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd that they'd be looking for a middle 6 forward when top line RW is the big hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and they have tons of room to fit anyone they want there this year. I'd be looking at UFA RWs. Pavelski, Smith, Radulov, maybe Rakell. Everyone will want Kessel, but I'd rather exhaust all my options on the others first. I think Pavelski would be perfect. Checks every box. Leader, playoff scorer, playoff experience, fast, great at face-offs (so he can swap in/out on draws as needed), shoots right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amusing how many of our problems can be solved if the Stars do not compete well this year. Pavelski, Radulov, and Holtby would all be reasonable pieces for us to go after for a playoff run.

Long live the King Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Tarasenko - Already asked for a trade and is not part of their long term future Although they are sitting in 2nd in their Division, the Aves and Stars are hot on their tail with games in hand Blues are 3-5-2 in their last ten, another month like this they'll find themselves out of the playoff picture Let's look to history. July 1, 2015... To Pitt: To Tor: Phil Kessel (15% retained) Kasperi Kapanen Time Erixon Scott Harrington Tyler Biggs Nick Spaling 2016 2nd Conditional 2016 1st and a 2016 3rd Potential trade for Tarasenko.... To NYR: To STL: Tarasenko (50% retained) Kravtsov Jones or Lundkvist Conditional 1st Edited November 30, 2021 by Long live the King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it takes more than that to get the retention, and you really need the retention for next year, but man would I love to see Bread - Butter - Tarasenko. Fuck you Boston, this is perfection.

Sure, signing a 30 year old dman for 7 years at $8.8 million per year is the same as holding on to $3.75 million for 2 years to facilitate a re-tool.

RW rental that would fit in well and no long term cap implications. I almost started a Trade Acquisitions Interactive Power Rankings thread. Top 6 Miller - checks all the boxes Horvat - with Canucks rumors intensifying. We heard his name over the summer and didnt believe it. Now there are talks of changes up there. Toews - dream acquisition. His play has picked up and we are quickly forgetting the controversy from Chicago. Smith - if its cheap to acquire, and no extension Neiderreiter - a guy I loved coming up. Could be a good middle-6 add. Last year of deal with Carolina and wont be re-signed. Depth Haula - another season left at 2.375, name seems to be circulating Dzingel - cheap, 1year deal in Arizona. Roussel - cheap Blais replacement Beagle - faceoff, 4th liner, kills penalties Defense Giordano - strictly a rental Goaltending Halak - you mentioned him Holtby - think Phil mentioned him?

Phil Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I think @Keirik mentioned Holtby and Halak, but I would 100% go for either. Both have the playoff track record and despite Halak's poor play this season, I think you can comfortably rely on either in a way you simply cannot with Georgiev. Right now, though, I prefer Holtby. Giordano would be great but feels like he's not going to be available. All the others, yup. I'd be in hard on Horvat most, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
