Adarsh Sant Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Spooner is 25 years old....so theoretically he could be part of the 'rebuild' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSALLENT Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Not really sure I see the need for him since he's a C unless he'd be playing wing, which we already have plenty of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I don't see the fit, so unless we get him for cheap I don't see why we'd be interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be for it as it seems Spooner can actually pass the puck properly and is 3 years younger. He'd also come a hell of a lot cheaper than Sutter.

timberz21 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Always depends on the price, but still, we already have Baerstchi and Goldobin who are small and skilled. I'd rather give Boeser more top 6 minutes than him. Must have been a Benning draftee....like Bartkowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be for it as it seems Spooner can actually pass the puck properly and is 3 years younger. He'd also come a hell of a lot cheaper than Sutter. That would be one reason... or we could move him to the wing, or just be looking for an additional versatile player who can play different forward positions. Spooner is probably a better fit with a skilled 3rd line and gives us someone with PP skills as well. The long game with exposing Sutter would be that he would likely be taken over Sbisa.... keeping Sbisa means that Tanev and/or Hutton could be traded for a top line forward. D will be worth gold after expansion once the already thin pool of top 4 NHL guys gets weakened further by Vegas pulling 6 of them from other teams. It also gives us more cap space to use as a tool to garner assets (taking bad contracts back for example either in the offseason or at the deadline when contenders are needing to free up money).

Exactly. Chain effect. Exposing Sutter means we can trade Sbisa/Tanev which means Juolevi has an increased chance of making team this year.

Unfortunately nobody wants an overpaid under-producing 32 year old (July) on a contract that has an AAV of $6 million for the next 6 or 7 years.

Conscience Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I see a good fit with him, putting him on the third line with some offensive players and push sutter to a checking role. Sutter is a black hole when it comes to creating offense for his wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Maybe as a 4th line center that can move up and down when there are injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
