[Proposal] Van-Dal


Recommended Posts

No GM except Benning would roster Brandon Sutter at $4m+, Dallas would want us to pay them something as it's a cap dump.  If we retain say $2m per season then it might make sense for them as Sutter is a serviceable bottom 6 C/F and those guys are worth 1-3m depending on production.

Pick No. 3

Lehtonen 

 

for 

 

Tanev

 

Good proposal though. I don't think Sutter is worth Tufte in any regards and as someone previously stated JB believes Sutter to be a foundational piece so chances are he ain't getting moved. 

 

Dallas will definitely hold on to Tufte either to see how. he develops or to see what prize they can land for him. He's worth much more then an overpaid 3C

That would be a really good trade imo.

You're going to have to add more...atleast CBJ 2nd for us to take Lehtonen or Niemi...

 

and sadly, i feel Dallas wants a 1st rd pick back. And i'm not sold on moving up 2 spots while using edler or tanev

JB hangs up.  No way they get Tanev AND a 1st for Vilardi and a cap dump.

Thats why I feel we must make a move on Tanev first and get a top 10 pick or a mid 15s pick and a prospect. Then send that lesser first rd pick with edler or so for the 3rd oa

That's what I'm hoping for, but Benning has said he wants to resign Miller. It doesn't make sense for us to take Lehtonen or Niemi if we keep Miller.

Maybe that public announcement about resigning Miller is a negotiating technique, in hopes of putting pressure on Dallas.  Dallas will know if we sign Miller we will not be taking Niemi off their hands.

Maybe, but Benning seems pretty sincere when he says things. It's only recently that he's become more tight-lipped.

Benning insists that he wants solid goaltending.  Niemi is shaky at times - my guess is that he would buy him out.  It's a 1.5M cap hit for 2 years.
