Silver Ghost Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just now, EP-40 said: You dont need a first next year to offersheet marner, you just need 4 firsts within 5 years. 2 years of firsts are tied up in that deal but i suppose since 1 is all that will be taken it could be done. Still would be monumentally stupid to do considering the loss of 4 1sts and Boeser who most certainly we would have no room for, not to mention the other assets we would have to lose to make that crazy cap work. Marner isnt worth it to the Csnucksimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Right, so back to business. Buffalo needs forwards and to move RHD: Risto for Sutter (50%) Baertschi Schaller or Sutter (no retention) Virtanen Schaller We then move Tanev elsewhere to free the roster spot and cap.

fecklund Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Markstrom will have a Vezina caliber year. You heard it here first. I'm almost more concerned about the team extending Ian Clark than I am about Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are guys singing for 6 and 7 million per season who score a few more points, but don’t add the toughness and hard to play against intangibles that Ferland brings. He’s getting half of what 60 point Double Flamingo! That’s a steal! That is a great question. Perhaps he chose to play in Vancouver and took a discount? Perhaps other teams were weary of his concussion/injury history? In any case, we will reap (gritty top 6 with skill) while the leafs sew (soft as summertime butter on the kitchen counter in the okanagan top 6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is not just the player but the position expected of the player and the ramifications that can happen. On the bad outcome side is Eriksson, his lack of top six potential has affected this team more negatively than is obvious. His position had to be replaced, the expected 25 to 30 goals per season. What did the team do to replace him? If he scored 25 or 30 goals as season do they need to replace him? It is possible to say they signed JT Miller. They may have anyway but if Eriksson was still a 25 or 30 goal scorer would the team need Miller? Further the Eriksson bad outcome is, so far, the cost of the millions spent, the roster spot taken up that a younger player may have been able to learn in, a first round pick, a 3 round pick and ? He is still here. Just looking up a little bit of injury history on Ferland, a lot of "upper body injuries" last season. Concussions? At least one after a fight. Dating back to December last year he is listed with an upper body injury an additional 6 times after, 2 - December, 2 - Jan., 4 - Feb through to May. Also most of his points came in the first 3 months of the season last year playing with AHO. Now this doesn't say he isna't a top six player but these inflated numbers may not come in Vancouver and these "upper body" injuries are still a mystery apart from him listed as having a concussion in December after that just the vague statement. But what about Boeser now? Or Goldoblin? Trade bait? Sweeteners? How about Eriksson and Boeser for Minnesota's 1rst round pick in 2020 and a prospect? They will have to move salary, i do expect that Boeser will not sign before the season starts so they can get Roussel onto LTIR but signing Ferland is starting to scream of selling out the future mostly because they will have to do something to fix the mistakes of bad contracts, add sweeteners, like 1rst round picks and young players. So for some posters here this does help the team to a possible playoff spot to others this is selling out the future to save a job, this, IMO is not good for the franchise, if this bombs then what? Big deal if Benning is fired the damage he will have done will take another 7 years to overcome. So plan the parade for a playoff game, that seems to be what is being sold. Good luck because Chicago has got better, much better and so has Dallas and the summer isn't done yet. Arn't you a Rey of sunshine..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maginator Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Great signing. Cant believe people want Boeser traded, or are suggesting it. Christ he is one of two superstars on our team who can lethally put the puck in the net. Ship out the garbage I.e. Eriksson, Sutter. NOT one of our budding stars. I get it, cap. There are ways around it other than shipping out Boeser. Yeesh. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck because Chicago has got better, much better and so has Dallas and the summer isn't done yet. I think this should be a lesson in "wait and see...they're not done yet". Which is still applicable. There's no "selling off the future because the future is here. With Petey, Quinn, Bo, Brock, Stech, Demko you can't keep "holding off" for the perfect roster. If you have a few pretty near perfect players, it's go time. You have to trust in what they're showing and put players in place to help them do their stuff because they're ready. Did anyone expect Petey? He sped things up a bit.

So why not go for it? If you "hold off" and put things on pause because, well, we might get better in the future you're sacrificing him in the here and now. He wants to win. So do we. Sounds like that's the plan. No team is a given or for certain. So some will look back if we don't with a "see, told you so" but you just never know and you can't waste a Petey waiting for the perfect time and place. No team plans on not making the playoffs because they're "waiting" for later. That's a loser's approach. 4 3 3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
