Nuxfanabroad Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 This thread's intended as an open-ended question, on all current 30 clubs. For starters, let's all agree there are probably about 8~10 teams with a surplus of good skaters, that'll likely have difficulty protecting all valuable assets with the 7-3-1 allotment. Examples like Ana, TBay, CBJ, Nash, Minny etc... Conversely, there are perhaps 8~10 weaker teams that would likely want to upgrade(at a reduced price) the quality of those same 11 guys they get to protect. Perhaps they have only 2 decent D-men, for example. Why wouldn't they send a meh skater, + decent prospect to one of the above teams for that 3rd quality D-man? The strong team will lose a skater anyways, so it's easy to see the mutual-incentive(both GM's). With this in mind, does anyone have (1)..example proposals that might fit into the pattern(weaker team exploiting stronger club's excess)? 2- Do you guys expect a bunch of these deals? 3- Any possibility Battman has frowned on this?(try to deter GM's from musical chair deals, down to the last scraps).. Vegas is his baby that might get buried in the sand dunes. He doesn't want every GM to try & rig his beloved hockey-casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Well this thread went over like the proverbial Lead Zeppelin/Balloon! :^) But I'm in a predicting-mood... Philly sends: Sanheim & 3rd Minny: Dumba ******************************************************** Buff sends: Baptiste(prospect) & 2nd Anaheim: Vatanen ******************************************************** Arizona(need bodies up front): Hartnell & Jenner CBJ: Perlini & 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I think rangers are gonna do something with Vegas for one of staal or girardi. Like a pick or lindberg/fast if they take one of them. Minny is gonna work something out with Vegas to protect their assets or just give up Brodin. Vats is worth more than baptists and a 2nd, teams will have to pony up for him. Dallas will have to fork over that 3rd overall pick and Buffalo will have to part with Nylander plus or something like that. Zona deal with CBJ seems plausible. theres gonna be a lot of deals leading up to the ED, and then a lot more after the ED into the actual draft.

Heard the teams must request the players to waive their NMC(to be exposed to Vegas). Do you think either of the Ranger dud-D's will agree to that? Appears the Rags got a problem here. Would Staal/Girardi prefer to go to an established team(even a weaker team)? You could demand a decent return.EG: We send a Tanev/Baer type of combo. return: Girardi, Zibanejad, 1st & cond 2nd(2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead73 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think any player who finds out his team would rather protect younger/better players oven themselves makes the decision to waive very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With agents also involved, I could see lots of vets being rather stubborn. - Feel they've earned their contract - Family is comfy there - Why help out some young kid to take your slot? - League rips us off with this escrow-BS - So now they want me stuck on some reject-team in the gambler's desert? ...I think it's fairly easy to see why many might kick up a stink.

Canucklehead73 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Maybe but I wouldn't think many would want to play for a team that does not want them or see them as part of the picture moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are looking at dealing stepan or Hayes. Other players that they could sell are lindberg, fast, grabber or even buchnevich. AV had Tanev for a couple off seasons so he knows what he's all about. i would do Tanev for girardi, buchnevich and a 1st round pick. If girardi and staal don't waive, rangers prolly buy one of both of them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, is we may see some funny valuations, with the ED adding an extra variable, & additional incentive for radioactive-dumping of lousy contracts.

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Also predicting a Drouin-Trouba, humongous-big deal. Doesn't fit this thread's pattern, but whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ginormous Van-Buff proposal: Tanev, Sbisa, Baer, our #5OA For: Sam Rhino, Bogo, Foligno & their #8OA. We need size & physical-presence. Foligno's RFA.. cap-hit's almost equal, with these pkg's Buffalo can protect the two D-men, at exp draft.
