Mathew Barzal Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 In the VERY UNLIKELY (yes, I know) scenario that we lose both Sbisa (expansion) and Edler/Tanev (trade) this offseason we have a spot up for grabs. We're also a team that could use some offensive support from the back end (PP specialist, anyone?). The Flyers have decided not to bring back Del Zotto. Throwing him money on a one year deal would give us a boost offensively next season while not tying us down either, we could flip him to a contender at the deadline for a late pick as well if he manages to perform for us. Pairings: Hutton - Tanev Tryamkin - Stecher MDZ - Gudbranson or Edler - Stecher Tryamkin - Hutton MDZ- Gudbranson Not most trustworthy lineup, but at the least we'll be able to roll a number of balanced pairings who'll be able to defend and provide offense in some capacity.

mll Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Canucks probably do not have the cap space. They need to move more than just Sbisa if they want to bring back Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose Sbisa to expansion, I think the odds of moving a defenseman are lower because depth would be hurt. I have had my doubts all along whether Benning would break up the top pairing. They shelter and anchor the whole D corps. Having said that, if they don't move Edler or Tanev, who would they move? Hutton? Guddy? This is the long term 2nd pair imo.

Fair enough. As long as they don't try to make a play for someone like Shattenkirk, but JB & Co. have already come out saying they're looking at signing role players.

Fakename70 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Other than NHL experience, I don't see what Del Zotto could add that Subban couldn't. MDZ's already flunked out of NYR after AV's critical assessment, and Nashville after that. Would rather see what Jordan can do for not even close to the same price tag.

Not signing players in the hopes that prospects that are not likely to be NHL ready make the team is a foolish way to go about the off-season. Sign free-agents, and if a prospect takes a job, you can make room for him one way or another, and now you have extra depth. Signing veterans to 1-year deals is always a good idea for rebuilding teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 MDZ battled his ass off this year and last. To save his NHL career. He has a little left in him it appeared. When put on the spot? But not that much! Pass! Would have been better than Weber last year, when both were free agents... We just don't need him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your 1st pairing set. MDZ is a good point producer when he's healthy, its just he's not often all that healthy. He's only going to be 27 next season so he's probably looking for the "big one" in terms of the next contract. My bet is the Oilers throw way too much money and term at him in free agency.
