BPA Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 If Green decides to have Miller at a centre, l would not mind RNH slotting in as LW in the top 6. $5M x 5yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends what we’re able to do with buyouts, the expansion draft, and contract terminations. We could have a decent amount of cap. If Benning is true about being aggressive then we need to make a couple big moves like Montreal did last summer. Reinhart Pettersson Boeser Domi Horvat Hoglander Pearson Miller Podkolzin Motte Beagle Lockwood/Lind/Highmore Two big moves and our top 9 is looking amazing. we're going to need 4 lines that can be relentless if we're going to get past Vegas or the Av's, and thats looking pretty good to me. We'd have to move Schmidt to make the cap room for that, but maybe thats OK. I wonder if CBJ would have interest in Schmidt? he's probably their #3 guy there. Maybe move him for Domi and a late pick? If Jim can do that, the Jake and Holtby buyouts and bit of cap savings from Nate vs Domi gets us most of the way to Sammy's salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I think he wants out (that’s been debunked) but to me offers value to another team and it may be risky for us to go another season with him if he just isn’t a fit here. Their may be some other decent top 4 D men available for cheap due to the expansion draft. I think we should be exploring that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to send Nate to Buffalo, he's a good guy and doesn't deserve that. But CBJ may want him. If we drop to 10 on Wednesday, I'd be OK with moving that for Reinhart. But Benning seems to have a knack for coming up with deals no one saw coming, so who the heck knows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team collectively got &^@#ed by the variant, and resulted in double penetration with a condensed end to the schedule, while the beginning was already pretty tough. That, Pettersson's wrist, Miller being lost in space and a couple other things really &^@#ed us right. Regardless, I guess we can conservatively say we are HOPEFULLY at the tail end of our rebuild. Just have to sell it to whoever you want to get. PLUS ITS THE BEST HOCKEY TOWN IN THE &^@#ING WORLD LETS GET IT we might be at the end of our rebuild but we've still missed the playoffs 6 times since 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not opposed to moving him but the qustion is who will be replacing him. When I think deft trading and undervalued signings, Benning is not the GM I think of.

BarnBurner Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 8 hours ago, YEGCanuck said: Nuge was over-paid at $6mil. He is soft, best suited to the wing and is a good player, not great. IMO he is worth a maximum of five million for a maximum of five seasons. You're right. He was over-paid because he was a 1st overall pick. Hasn't lived up to that. Too soft. Pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Lowry outta Winnipeg is the perfect 3rd line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt has a 10-team no-trade list. I promise you that Buffalo is on it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
