The talk about him going to Florida is so strong it makes me think he will go there. Our top 6 would be as good as almost anybody if he came here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does that have top end skill but there is some serious grit on lines 2-4. Podkolzin can come in and take Pearson’s spot in a couple years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's painful to think that we've really only had 3-4 top 6 players in the last 7-8 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoung Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Very unlikely we sign him now haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If we sign him we be shipping sutter and maybe baer or someone out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombrova22 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Don't want him personally. Way too much $. Think we see something like this instead. Miller-Petey-Boes Baer-Horvat-Pearson Levio-Gaud-Virt Rous-Beagle-Motte Edler-Myers Hughes-?/Tanev Hutton-Stech Sutter needs to be shown the door via trade.

Maybe that is why JB gave them a first. Panarin is exactly the kind of player we need. He is an elite top line player. If he is available even if we have to over pay we should do it.

Silver Ghost Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Panarin would be a perfect fit in the top 6. Panarin-EP-Boeser (opposing coach, defensemen and goalies will cry when they are danced around and scored on at will) Miller-Horvat-Pearson (opposing top lines will cry when they struggle getting possession) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I can’t see how there is room to sign this guy when the priority ought to be Boeser and then a good defenceman. You’re looking at around 7M for Boeser and another 6M for a D man. There is 17.8M in cap space left. That leaves a balance of about 3M. Panarin is not signing for 3M, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning would have to move Sutter and Eriksson without retaining much or taking back a bad contract. Certainly not likely but not impossible.

We could have the space if we can offload some salary ie. Sutter, Baertschi, Spooner, and dare to dream Eriksson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babalu Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Panarin has very similar numbers to Tavares. If he is willing to play here you sign him. This is the kind of Elite top line forward that is worth paying. Edited June 23, 2019 by babalu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of rathered trade that 2020 1st to offload Eriksson than trade it to get Miller from a cap crunched Lightning team. I never seen Miller play much but he doesn't strike me as the player to make that kind of offer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a hot commodity and every team is looking for that. Trying to take advantage of a “cap crunched” team is near impossible when 30 other teams would love having a guy like that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Eriksson and Sutter would be traded to clear space if we are to go after Panarin + top 4D. We probably won't get Panarin anyways though.

I never seen Miller play much but he doesn't strike me as the player to make that kind of offer for Why? So that we have extra 6 mil in cap space? For what? JB is losing his job if he doesn't make the playoffs or at the very least, get very close to it. He ain't going to get rid of one of very few assets he has in 2020 1st rounder just to free up a 6 mil cap. Unless he plans to use that cap space to go after Panarin, but even so, it would be better to use that 1st to get a high quality roster player back and clear up cap by some other means to sign Panarin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the matter of term but he should sign for something between 7-8 mil. Sutter, Pearson, Baer, Spooner, Schaller, Tanev, and Edler will be off the book by the time Hughes and EP needs a new contract. They eat up 27 mil. Supposing that 10M is used on Panarin, that still leaves 17 mil. Cap might have gone up by then, giving us more space. I think Toronto has set a bad precedent but I don't know if Hughes and EP will commend 11 million dollars a piece as some people seem to think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
