  1. I stand corrected. I didn't realize how much they have spent on their defense. That's waaaay too much. We should relieve them a little bit...Hjalmarson, maybe? There's probably a trade Arizona has in the works. They didn't score enough last season. Not saying Eriksson helps that, but it's easy to see they aren't going to remain at the status quo.
  2. He's going to Phoenix July 1st. Book it. This whole situation smells like Phoenix. With most of the money paid and the $6 mil cap hit, he'll be paid like an affordable middle 6 forward. We could even get a mid round pick out of the deal. Anyone believe Phoenix is gonna get in on free agency in a hard core way? Probably not. That's not how they operate.
  3. Yeah, you know...I seem to remember his after season presser and how he was basically saying that people were holding onto 2011 and that they should try to forget about it. It's over. If you read into that, I think that was a bit of a shot at Kesler and the old core in the room. Basically they had to move on from it. In other words, it's pretty hard to coach a room when you don't have 100% buy in from your core.
  4. We are overflowing on forwards right now. 15 NHL guys (including Eriksson). I still think they're looking for a trade match. Some forwards for some defense. Right now, we're looking at: Edler-Tanev ?-Stetcher ?-? Biega Assuming Hughes will likely make it, we still gotta get 2. Maybe 3 dmen if we're gonna carry 8. I don't suppose we're gonna carry 2 Rookies on defense to start this season. With 17 mil and change worth of cap space, maybe we aren't gonna sign Tyler Myers after all if he's gonna eat up almost half of it.
  5. There's a difference between being coach and being GM in this regard. Former all star hockey players make good GMs because they reckognize the talent they need. They don't make good coaches because they already have the God given talent and don't understand why others don't play like they do. Whereas the guys who have had to grind it out between leagues know what it's like to work for every ounce of what they have, know how they were motivated and use that to motivate others. Star players grind it out too, but it's definitely a different situation for both.
  6. Well Brock Boeser has played in 9 games in his first season and then 2 seasons after that yet he is RFA. So it seems I was right about the years thing. Whether that also pertains to expansion or not is a different story.
  7. Well that's good. I read alot of barking back and forth. You sure? I know the 9 games rule is for a rookie in the CHL, but when we had both Boeser and Corrado, they both played 6 games and it ate a year of their ELCs.
  8. Okay so then explain it to me. After finishing their second years, respectively, does that count as them being 3rd year players once the season is over. Also, since Quinn Hughes played last year. I think I was 5 games, but I don't fully recall, would the year before expansion be counted as his 3rd? I think anything past 5 games counts on his contract as another season, which makes 3. Not that it matters anyways. Like I said, you proved my point. And say we did acquire Seabrook and were able to talk thru a proper and fair trade which worked for both sides, I can't imagine it would be hard to get him to waive it for Seattle. It's not like they'd pick him anyways, so it would be irrelevant. That, plus the fact that this sort of thing wouldn't happen if there wasn't a fair salary/contract length trade off. I mean, we've got some real winners on defense right now *rolls eyes*. Just wait til Myers gets 8×7 from Benning.
  9. Which is exactly why you do interviews. You need to know how determined and focused these kids are. I mean, when Griffin Reinhart was drafted, NYI obviously didn't do their due diligence in getting the right idea about the kid. You're right though. That's the nature of trading. Though I will say this...I don't believe there would be an issue getting Seabrook to waive for Seattle. I mean, it's hard enough for Chicago to get rid of his contract. He waives, they still aren't picking him. Worst case scenario, he's close to home anyways.
  10. I didn't know about the buy out bit. Probably a good idea to read the whole thread to contribute properly to the discussion...but any way, yeah trade discussions happen ALL. THE. TIME. Very few things come to fruition. That's why we talk about such things. We aren't sure of Chicago's interests here. If it's purely to dump Seabrook to go get Panarin, then yeah, you tell them to choke on it. If you can actually talk about something more palatable for both sides, then something could have happened. I have a couple things in mind. Mostly involving sending Sutter the other way, since Benning is likely looking at moving him this summer anyways, in favour of Gaudette.
  11. Sorry. 8 players and one goalie, so in the Nucks case it would be 4 forwards, 4 D, and 1 goalie. Or maybe even 5 D and 3 forwards because we don't know how JT Miller is going to work out.
  12. You assume too much and I do know how the salary cap works, thank you. You basically just proved my point even more with the comment above, so...THANK YOU!!!!!
  13. You lost me at Panarin, lmfao! If you go down the rabbit hole and see what Chicago would take back to get the albatross contract out, I believe there would have been a deal to be made. And I'm not talking Loui Erkisson either.
  14. You could have just said age.... Yeah, that cap hit wouldn't be worth it. If expansion is the problem, then why not go the 4-4-2 route instead, hypothetically. If say this did happen, we'd be protecting Hughes, Byram, Juolevi, Seabrook. Then Petey, Bo, Boeser, and I'm drawing a blank. I guess the 4th would likely be JT Miller. The rest of them I'd not lose sleep over. It doesn't seem that bad does it? Everyone else on the team is kind of swimming in mediocrity. Also, this is assuming Eriksson is likely not playing another game in blue and green.
  15. What worries me about this is if there wasn't a discussion, how much digging is Benning really doing, how far along in trade discussions is he really getting, and if there was a discussion after all, how creative is Benning getting with his trade proposals? I would have come back with something within the right ballpark. It's not like Seabs is THAT bad at the moment. Maybe in 2 or 3 years he just gets bought out? He has experience winning. I see him as an asset. Even if he ends up being a bottom pairing D-man.
  16. I don't think they would have done that, however...would it have worked if they did it for Sutter?
  17. I am well aware of that. My issue is whether or not we just got a Kris Versteeg, Chris Higgins, Mason Raymond, or Alex Burrows. I mean, I wanna see the optics of it. Right now, he looks like a blender guy. Not a 1st or second line fixture. We already have those guys. I mean, is there much difference between what he can do and what Tanner Pearson can already do? If we just gave up a 1st, I want a fixture guy. Not a blender guy. I think that's a fair ask, IMO.
  18. Does anyone have the stats on how many points JT Miller got on the powerplay with Kuch and Stamkos over the past couple seasons?
  19. From how the 1st round turned out, I think this was Detroit looking to move down to 10th. I think Burkie was right on the money. They saw something in that one German Dman and they wanted more assets and JB was like. "IDC. 6th is not worth THAT much to me."
  20. So...assuming this position is for team President...who would you all rather have...? Chiarelli or Mike Gillis? The man who jumps at making moves vs the man who takes to long to do anything?!
  21. It looks like I was mistaken. I thought it was end of this season. This must have been the exact term Eddie wanted then. Not whatever was reported. Whatever it takes to not be selected I guess.
  22. This was not Edler folding for 2. This was the absolute best of a non ideal situation for him. He wasn't getting expansion protection anywhere, so what happens? He signs a 2 year deal. Plays one year here and then Seattle IF they pick him. Plus if they pick him, they can't trade him anywhere unless he waives. His family doesn't have to move and then after the year away, BOOM, re-signs a new deal with Vancouver.
  23. Guys on Instagram seem to be trolling Jake Virtanen, saying that he was included in trade with Phili for Shane Gosistbehere. Some are even welcoming him to Phili already
