[Buyout] Alexander Wennberg
Kobayashi Maru replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If we could somehow snag Granlund and Wennberg on discounts due to performance last year instead of Toffoli I think that would be like found money. Either way there are a lot of options as long as JB proceeds with some form of plan. -
[Rumour] Vegas trying to move MAF 50% retained
Kobayashi Maru replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If MAF is available for around half the cap with assets coming back, then it's basically a no-brainer. Fits our timeline with Demko becoming the starter better anyways. I don't see why Vegas would add on top of retaining half the cap, but who knows. -
[Signing] Oilers re-sign Jesse Puljujarvi
Kobayashi Maru replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Even though the odds are against him as an Oilers prospect, I think he’s going to have a big year back in the NHL. Like the player but don’t like the team. -
I think if the top pairings work like this then we would go after somebody like Bogosian to pair with Joulevi. Year after it would be Tryamkin.
-
If we think about it it’s likely a first to get rid of Eriksson and a first to acquire OEL. With that logic we have to give up a Joulevi/Jake/Demko type player and a future 1st. That would be my thought but if JB can do better then we’d be laughing.
-
Oh I thought Ottawa re-signed him but I guess not. Duclair would be good if we need a sniper but Athanasiou can play more positions if we want the versatility. Another option may actually be Mikael Granlund. Obviously he is a great player, but it didn't work in Nashville for whatever reason. Granlund could be cheaper than Toffoli and potentially could be better overall.
-
I think this is pretty darn accurate. If not Joulevi then Demko but that’s contingent on Marky being signed then.
-
Congrats Phil on player of the month honours!
-
So cautious that Domingue, Rafferty and Lind are going to be top players for us this upcoming year. This OEL deal needs to happen.

[Report] Troy 'Tony' Stecher Not Qualified
Kobayashi Maru replied to awalk's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't think this is a major issue. He does well in the bottom pairing for his energy level, but he doesn't process the game quick enough to be effective. He's worth a 1M type contract to us (But someone will pay him $2M I bet) so we have every dime to sign the top flight guys (OEL, Marky, top 6 RW etc). I think somebody like Rafferty comes in and fills the need for next year. -
I feel that JB is getting some under the radar prospects who should have gone much earlier based on their scouting reports. I think this could end up being another great draft even without a 1st/2nd.

Next year it may have an impact on losing Toffoli and replacing him with a lower cost option, and next year he basically replaces Edler’s contract. Edler is likely back but at half of next years contract. Young gun contracts comes from the guys that need to go anyways. I think it will be okay.
-
With Toffoli not in the cards maybe Tanev is still a target with OEL. D depth was exposed but this is a different ball game: Ekman-Larsson Myers Hughes Tanev Edler Stecher Hughes and Edler pairings rotated as top pairings so if you basically create a new first pairing our D depth is crazy good.
-
He’s an all situation D that is a tweener 1st/2nd pairing. He’s Edlers replacement while Edler is still here. He’s a big need on this team for Hughes and OEL (Hopefully) to do their thing.

[Rumour] Tyler Toffoli to hit free agency
Kobayashi Maru replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He was a good player and fit nicely but the contract being discussed is definitely a risk. Could open up a spot for Hoglander or a lower priced UFA instead. If we land OEL this is not the end of the world. -
More importantly he's got his hair freshly dyed again, so he's ready to make some deals and get some prospects. Buckle up!
-
Wow 50% PP and 50% PK. I just realized that we forgot to hire a coach this year. Run and gun all day long in D town!
-
Wow, such memories! Good to see former Stars prospects with that value still.
-
I think we should just welcome OEL to the team to force JBs hand to finalize the deal. We just need the "Mission Accomplished" banner first.
