TheRussianRocket. Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Think Nashville will go all in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl's Jn Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 would be good with us... but benning wants a meat and potato... not sure he qualifies for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Think Nashville will go all in for him. Makes sense if the ownership is willing to pay up. Dallas would also be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Think Nashville will go all in for him. They need someone to get the puck to Neal, Stastny would be perfect. Neal - Stastny - _____ _____ - Wilson - Forsberg Bourque - Fisher - Stalberg Nystrom - Cullen - Clune They have the cap space to retool their top six.

Well yeah, but their ownership doesn't usually spend to the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien37 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Overrated and will be HIGHLY over payed due to the lack of center/top offensive depth in this UFA class. As people have said before Nate and Gabe showed up he was pretty quiet. Needs good players around him to put up big numbers isn't a game changer himself. I bet he gets 7-8 million long term.

asian player Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm assuming he'll receive 7-8 million but we could be in for a surprise. Free agents have been showered with money in recent years. I really don't mind spending our space on Stastny and Ehrhoff but it looks like Miller's on his way here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asian player Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 He'll probably go to the highest bidder for 3-4 years and start hunting for a cup in his final few years. Seems like a trend nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Overrated Curious what you base this upon. Stastny faced the strongest quality of competiton among Avalanche forwards. He also had the best underlying numbers. He had less than 50% offensive zone starts (46.7%) and scored 60 points. 26th in the NHL in points per 60 minutes. He was 54.1% in the faceoff circle - top 25 in the NHL. +15 takeaways/giveaways. Just plain outstanding two way player. Wondering what it takes to be 'rated'. .

RogerEpic5 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Toronto or Nashville should make a very decent push to sign this guy. Personally I hope the Leafs do get him so that the Canucks wouldn't have to deal with him. Unless however Benning pulls a Benning and "deals" Stastny.

peaches5 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If Chicago can drop Rozsival + Leddy or Oduya they could offer Stastny a 1 year 5.5 million dollar deal and would pretty much be as close to be guaranteed a cup as a team can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~shiznak~ Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Wouldn't pay him anywhere near 6.5M a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is overrated for the big pay day he is about to receive. For a player who is still under a PPG he is being made out to be like one of the top centers out there. He is a great top 6 player but there is no way I would have him on my team as a 1C. Yes that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 5.5? I doubt he goes for anywhere near that. I bet he gets 6.5 minimum... likely 7. At 5.5, I'd be in on him for Vancouver as well. Add Iginla for 6 and Moulson for 4. Sedin Sedin Iginla Moulson Stastny Burrows Higgins Bonino Hansen Sestito Richardson Dorsett .. In my opinion, that's a very (very) good forward lineup. Our d is solid already. Our only question mark would be goaltending which may or may not turn out to be an issue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
