  1. UFA vs RFA, but ya I get what your saying. The Laine and Marner contracts are going to be real interesting.
  2. If Jake can quit partying long enough to focus on hockey he could make three times what he makes now. Players with size who can put up 40 to 50 points can make out like bandits.
  3. I s All that said. I would prefer Ehlers over Willie Nylander.
  4. Not Tanev alone of course. No team is giving up a top 20 pick for Ehlers. He has been shooting blanks in the playoffs and is coming off a bad season. There is a reason he is being offered up.
  5. I would prefer three. But if four gets it done then do it. Imagine no Eddy, striking out in free agency, Tanev injured while off season training. Yikes.
  6. For sure. The D needed an upgrade going into next year. Thing is if they have to replace Eddy as well it just became an even bigger challenge. That, and JB wont be able to avoid looking desperate if Eddy is gone. It really is in this teams best interest to get something worked out.
  7. I think this off season will come down to the last few standing around at the dance. We will be one of them and may benefit greatly from the cap going down a little and some desperation from cap teams.

  9. Interesting. Ehlers had a rough year last year and it could be a buy low situation. Always liked Ehlers and he would look good in our top six. Something around Ehlers and Tanev maybe? If we could somehow pull that off and add Meyers to replace Tanev that's a nice upgrade of the team.
  10. Hopefully true as would rather have Ritso over Zaitsev. This may be a tactic to get Zaitsev even cheaper though.
  11. There has to be a scenario that works within the names you've mentioned. The fly in the ointment for me is Carolina. That have a plethora of D and a need for a Nylander.
  12. And that's exactly it. We have junk to offer up. Maybe Gaudette and Jake but really what would they garner and would we really want to risk their development potential. We have picks but we need those. JB is in a tough spot for sure.
  13. Was hoping he could be a Edler, stop gap replacement if Tampa was done with him. Good contact, sunshine and beaches, chance for a cup. Dont blame him for inking that deal.
  14. Eddy has to lower his expectations. He is 33, not 28 or 29 like a lot of the UFA's.
  15. I as well. But what if Eddy goes elsewhere? Trade assets? Stop gaps? Something will need to be done. No Eddy and an oft injured Tanev would be real, real bad.
  16. Dont get me wrong, I'm a big Eddy fan. More to my point is Gardiner is 29. Eddy was better at 29 than Gardiner is for sure. However Eddy is 33 now and is getting slower. Eddy for three years is great but anymore than three years and I'd rather have Gardiner at 6.
  17. I would agree but it's the combination of Eddy's age and the looming expansion draft. It's on thing to sign a 28, 29 year old UFA this year. Eddy will be 35 by the time expansion comes around. Doubt someone loses an asset for that.
  18. Provorov not worth more than Bo IMHO. Also, Patrick has yet to show he is worthy of his draft position.

  20. Eddy has had games like that as well to be honest.
