Brick Tamland Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 We all remember MG talking about big changes coming last season. Nothing happened. What is there that Trevor can possibly do? So, he asks all the NTCs if they would waive? Assume they say no. We have approx 5 million in cap space after signing our RFAs. That is one, moderately decent player from somewhere else likely being courted by others. It really feels like until these NTCs run out, we have a revolving door of bottom 6 players and fingers crossed for a home run from a few of them. Even running Horvat and some of the other youngsters out there, they still need to over achieve. If I was Trevor, I guess I would gut the scouting and hope to be employed long enough to see the fruits of those firings and hirings. I just don't see major changes, again.

Watermelons Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Trading Schneider and Luongo weren't big changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Shirokov Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Honestly, Trevor actually walked into a pretty good situation. Now that Luongo has been traded, the team pay roll and cap situation is in a pretty good shape. We finally have cap space to sign an impact free agent. There are also currently some good young players ready to take on bigger roles next season....Eddie Lack, Chris Tanev, Zach Kassian, Niklas Jensen, Frank Corrado, Ryan Stanton...and 4-5 really good prospects currently in Junior. Not to mention we have the 6th overall pick this year. It was a bad season, but honestly, we have a lot going for us this off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancin'Droid Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 He got the shell of a team that went to the cup 3 years ago that is getting old, a couple of prospects that are look promising, a 6th overall pick and lowered expectation. The last two will help the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spur1 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I say if anybody gets the fruit of MG's labour....I can not think of anybody other than Trevor(maybe Stan) who I would rather see benefit. Lets go Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Red Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 We're in good shape. Goaltenders aren't as valuable as one might think IMO. It's been proven enough with SC winners in the last 10 years... Spend on forwards and blow them out of the building. I'm tired of us being outscored. We need to rise up like CHI town and gun gun gun. All our D's are top 4. Swedish tandem, lets focus on getting some firepower. E Kane, cheap Gaborik, Pray for Jensen, Shink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 What I would do is probably trade certain players to teams contending for the Stanley Cup. I'd deal the Sedins to Detroit, Kesler to Tampa, and meanwhile let the team tank next season, and rebuild through the draft. Counting on getting a better scouting staff led by Jim Benning, and drafting either McDavid or Barzel, and proceeding to rebuild the team around them. Only then could we start attracting top free agents, who might actually take pay cuts to play here if everything is in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would negotiate a three-way deal with Detroit and Buffalo, to somehow get Buffalo's first rounder, in exchange for the twins (to Detroit), who would send Datsyuk to Buffalo. Not a likely trade, but I think would benefit all three groups. Detroit loses age, acquires two Cup-hungry Swedish stars with some juice left. Buffalo gets a veteran leader among their team of youths. Vancouver gets a shot at drafting Reinhart this year and launching a full-scale rebuild.

westcoast Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 IMO Trevor will push for a trade to aquire a star forward and defenseman and try and prop up this core back to a cup run.Bad move if so,build a new core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snucks Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There is a similarity to Gillis being hired by the owners in that Gillis was a player agent, and Linden a player rep or was he president. Anyway why do they want these types? Is it that they will get along better with the high priced players? Now Toronto has Shanahan so go figure. time will tell I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
