EK would be making more $ so he could ship in anything he wanted haha. Guy does need a haircut tho imo, but each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some hair gel I never use sitting in a drawer. It's probably at least 75% full. It's a sacrifice, but I can lend it to the cause! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseBlue Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I'm on the sign EK train. I'm sick and tired of waiting and waiting or signing mid talent level. It's time to put us back to a forward facing direction. Edited May 25, 2019 by JesseBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players can people name that hit UFA and actually played up to the full level of their contracts through to the end of the contract? These are my concerns. Crosby is a terrific example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedman, Sergachev a year better and Karlsson will be an absolute force, they can afford to lose Girardi/Stralman/Coburn. Up front they'll have to shift Killorn, Johnson, Miller, Pallat and/or Callahan. If I were them I'd change up a lot after that disappointing playoffs. Let 2 of the 3 defencemen walk, trade 3 of the 5 forwards. Sign Point and Karlsson. That's where I'm guessing he ends up too. Move Miller for a boat load of futures, dump Callahan, let Stralman, Coburn etc walk and they'd have plenty of room. Heck, I'd love to get in on that action... Send them Tanev with retention (to replace Stralman for cheap), take on Callahan and get Foote + back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to sign here for 5-6 years, $9 million per. and no trade protection after the first 3 years... then it is a no brainer to sign him. 7 years at $11 million... no thanks. We are better off taking on cap from a team like Tampa who will be trying to free up space. There will be a bunch of teams trying to do it, so the cap space would be at a premium. For Tampa, Tanev at 50% retained any of our cheap bottom end forwards and Virtanen would have value if it meant they could free up space. Callahan is easy to swallow as he only has a year left. J.T. Miller and Tyler Johnson are pretty good top 6 guys for us. Foote is probably the future we would want. Some combination of those prices could turn into a deal. gross why would we want callahan or johnson virtanen has so much raw potential and he get better every yr no thanks and tampa will not be trading foote are u insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 21 hours ago, Alflives said: I'd love to see EK with us. I doubt it though. If we did somehow get him, then we need to keep both Edler and Tanev. EK needs to play way less minutes, and way less D zone starts than he did with the Sharks. If we could shelter his minutes, I think he could stay healthy. Then, do we want to spend those kinds of dollars on a D man that needs sheltered minutes? Like him for sure, but would be concerned about his health. If we acquired EK, keeping Edler would be obvious, but why would we need to keep Tanev beyond his contract. EK would be very risky injury wise and could hamper the clubs cap flexibility moving forward with guys like Hughes and EP40 coming off their ELC's We could just have the bandaid brigade as our defence. Hopefully Hughes can stay healthy, OJ is following right in Salo's foot steps. One good thing is KB is adding to the depth on defence... having a bunch of young guys on the farm could at least keep filling in spots ad our NHL guys break down.

We would want Callahan or Johnson because we would ask for Foote back. Callahan is only a year of contract, and Johnson is a legit top 6 guy who produces decent offence and also gets Selke votes consistently... and is signed to a reasonable contract. Foote isn’t an untouchable on a team that would have Herman, Karlsson and Sergachev locked on long term, plus Cernak as a young solid prospect. Foote is probably a 2nd pairing D when he develops... not an all star. As for Virtanen... you need to start watching the actual player and not who you want him to be. If things go really well, maybe he becomes an average 2nd line winger. Five years and 210 NHL games since he was drafted and you are still talking about “raw potential”.
