  1. Say what you want about his contract he has been absolutely great for us this year.
  2. Though I completely agree with your thought process I think it would be prudent that if we were to draft Beniers not to bring him along too quickly. 2 way C take a while to cook look at Bo. 3C is hard minutes with checking defensive responsibilities throwing him in the deep end of the pool might not be the best thing for him. I would leave him in Michigan leading that stacked team. Hughes is committed there for next year as well. Thats a hockey face tho if I've ever seen one. 1 Luke 2 Clarke 3 Eklund 4 Beniers 5 Edvinsson 6 Johnson 7 Power 8 Wallstedt 9 Svechkov 10 Lambos 11 Chaz 12 Raty I doubt we pick later than 12
  3. This is such a crystal ball horse excrement straw man JB attack. 32 other GM's passed of him 4 times. The Wild struck gold leave it at that. Fletcher, who was the general manager of the Wild since 2009, was fired in April 2018 after they were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round for the third consecutive year. He took a hands-off approach to sign Kaprizov that failed for three years. Kaprizov took Fletcher’s lack of communication as indifference and signed an extension with Moscow that kept him locked into the KHL until spring 2020. “They weren’t too interested in me,” he said in a 2017 interview with Sport-Express. “What round was I picked at? The fifth? I think that they forgot about me immediately after the selection.” (From “Why the Minnesota Wild May Sign Kirill Kaprizov, Even Though He Cannot Play This Year.” – Tony The Wilderness – 07/02/2020). Somebody else in Canada won roll up the rim to win. JB sucks at that too.
  4. You got any bright ideas of your own? Who do you target to prepare for ED? Or do you just stand pat and let Seattle take Myers/Schmidt? Ideally IMO we want to force Seattle to take Holtby.
  5. I feel like I'm forcing an idea I don't really care about here. But Kulak does nothing for MTL's expansion needs They will protect Weber, Petry, and one of Chiarot/Edmundson the other will be exposed and claimed by Seattle unless they take Armia which I doubt. Kulak will do nothing to insulate them. They are teetering on making the playoffs so IMO loosing Chiarot is a bigger deal than you make it. I don't know why I'm wasting my time I don't really care if MTL wants Edler but they can make it work. And IMO it would be a positive trade for them. MTL cap space. CURRENT CAP SPACE : $1,636,913 DEADLINE CAP SPACE : $3,588,616 TODAYS CAP HIT : $80,677,976
  6. You said they didn't have the cap I just demonstrated that they could make it work in a hypothetical scenario. That is all. Edler would be an upgrade on Kulak. Kulak would help us meet the Expansion Draft requirements to protect Juolevi, Myers, Schmidt. They toss in a former 2nd struggling prospect derailed by injury. Its just conjecture for amusements sake. Do you ever share your own ideas or just come here to shoot down others. Have you ever liked a proposal?
  7. Burrows. Just a hypothetical if he would waive something like this would make sense.
  8. Could do something like Edler 50% for Kulak (ED Insurance for us) + Joni Ikonen
  9. You might have to over pay Benn to get him to sign a contract solely to be expansion fodder. Then when you're stuck with him after was it worth it?
  10. For me if I'm understanding correctly our guys in the ahl that we want to keep need to be protected however they will not count towards our min exposure requirement. So the way I see it. Protect: Pete, Bo, Boeser, Miller, Motte, Gadjovich, Lind Exposed: Virt, Beagle, Rous, Zac Mac Protect: Myers, Schmidt, Juolevi Expose: Big gulps huh? Well..... See you later. Demko no contest. At some point between now and the draft JB will have to trade for a D that meets min draft requirements one we won't mind being stuck with after the draft, one we won't mind being drafted and importantly one we won't have to give up much of value to acquire. There may be a price worth paying to possibly retain Holtby to backup Demko for one more season or at least muddy the waters. Guys I would target to muddy the waters would be: Radko Gudas, Carson Soucy, Cernac, Scott Mayfield. They would cost something of value but the price may be worth it. After that the hopefully cheaper options that we would end up with post draft. Matthew Benning, Dean Kukan, Caleb Jones, Kurtis Macdermid, Brett Kulak, Robert Bortuzzo. If we can get a great deal on one of these guys you gotta do it. However we will not be the only team looking to meet draft requirements hopefully we don't have to over pay.
  11. Oh for sure! I guess that wasn't clear in my post edited.
  12. Would flippin Love to get Domi. No way Torts want's Virtanen. Not a chance. Me thinks any deal to get him involves Hoglander + so I would walk away.
  13. Fair enough. My point was more that even if he does sign with us I don't think he would hesitate for a second to go to another NHL team as soon as he hit UFA.
  14. I feel like at the end of the day. One would hope that Tryamkin could be an upgrade on Nutivaara. Though I admit I hadn't really factored him in when I originally created this proposal. As he only has 9 games played due to injury this season and only 46 gp in the past 2. So he has a ways to go to meet the 40/70 gp conditions.
  15. A bad deal? Not so much of a Big Tram Fan??? Though you may be right.
  16. Yandle has a NMC so thats a wrench for them. Youre right on Nutivaara tho I think they would want to keep him.
  17. Do you get the impression that Nik has any loyalty to this club and wouldn't bolt at the 1st opportunity?
  18. Benn is UFA. As I understand it in order to be eligible you must be signed for the up coming season. If we can dump cap and get a player who meets requirements at the same time without giving up anything that would be a win. Signing Benn might mean we would end up being stuck with Benn and though he hasn't been terrible I would prefer not to be. Also I doubt he would sign just to be expansion fodder.
