billabong Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The capitals have around 20m in cap space with kuznetsov (RFA), oshie (UFA), williams (UFA), burakovsky (RFA), orlov (RFA) and schmidt (RFA). Im not even including shattenkirk and alzner who are both UFA's. caps are probably gonna let him walk to help shake things up and increase their team speed and get younger. alzner turns 29 in september and is from burnaby, but we suck right now so not sure how bright that fire is to play in his hometown... if at all BUT if he did want to play here. how much would you be willing to offer him? 5yrs x 5m per year? alzner-gudbranson edler-stecher hutton-sbisa after trading tanev at the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Capitals will probably attempt to move Orpik before they consider letting Alzner fall to free agency. Also, why would Gudbranson be on the 1st pairing? If anything Alzner's style is more fit for Hutton or Stecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have an Alzner in Gudbranson that we should be getting rid of let alone adding another. That contract would be arguably be worse than Eriksson's, and Eriksson's is awful.

Byrix Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 If the Canucks can move Edler before or at the draft, I can see Alzner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alzner is no Gudbranson. Gudbranson is one of the toughest players in the league; Alzner doesn't hit and he doesn't drop his gloves. He's also nowhere near the defender Tanev is. He doesn't improve our defense, stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutral Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 for the right price sure. but not a criplly 6-7 year deal. If he signs for 4-4.5m he could be a good fill in for a few years. 5yrs 4.25m per 4yrs 4.5m per If he wants more let another team go longer term and or more cap hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to be home with a hometown discount at about 4 years at say 5M with no NTC or NMC it would be worth it to sign him short term. Trade Tanev, Edler or Sbisa. Or two of.

higgyfan Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 25 minutes ago, Sbriggs said: Good points but he can pick his choice and I think he would want to go to a contender if he has a chance Exactly. People overestimate the value of returning to Vancouver (and the added thrill of dealing with Van's lovely media). Like most NHL players, Alzner has grown up with the dream of winning a cup. So far, he has spent his NHL career having his sights on the cup ending with bitter defeat. I think he goes to the best contending team that will give him a good $ with term.

ShinkarukHorvatVirtanen53 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Alzner is gonna get overpaid in free agency and it better not be from us. If anything sign a defenceman we can flip at the deadline or don't sign one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
