He's also UFA in a year, they can't protect both him and the younger, cheaper Stenlund they just re-upped in the ED, and appear headed for a 're-something'. Jenner is a given to be protected per Portzline. They were missing a F to expose to meet the requirements before re-upping Stenlund. Portzline has him exposed but they might wish now to protect Robinson over Nyquist or Domi. Domi just had shoulder surgery and is expected to miss the start of the season. He hasn't quite fit in and is a UFA next year. Nyquist missed all of this season and might also be an option to be left exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleysteamersmyl Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 They are both under contract for $3 million over 2 years. They will not be traded. Go for the free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydog Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 2 hours ago, Herberts Vasiljevs said: He's the type of Dman we need though. And it wouldn't cost a king's ransom to acquire him. I'm not suggesting that he can be had for free, but we wouldn't have to flip our 9th pick. Maybe a 3rd and a B-level prospect (as approximate value)? He's a minute munching shutdown D man that can play in the top-4. He's almost an Edler replacement. If he's ALMOST an edler replacement we dont want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Probably cheaper just to sign Olesiak and Hakanpaa as UFA's and give up nothing. The question would be can Hakanpaa play the big minutes with Hughes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave Hamonic to play with Hughes, and assuming he's staying, Hakanpaa to play with Schmidt. Hughes, Hamonic Schmidt, Hakanpaa Juolevi/Edler, Myers Juolevi/Edler *Rathbone in Abby as their 1D, playing big minutes and first call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rathbone is going to make it really hard at camp to send him to Abby, but we'll see. I think we'll know pretty fast after expansion where things are with Hamonic, if he doesn't have a deal by the 25th then I think we're moving on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that does in fact make Schmidt available....? Hughes, Hamonic Juolevi, Hakanpaa Rathbone, Myers With Edler rotating in for the green horns, wouldn't be awful either 31 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: I think we'll know pretty fast after expansion where things are with Hamonic, if he doesn't have a deal by the 25th then I think we're moving on. I suspect we'll try to retain him. He/his agent might want to see what's out there/increase their bargaining position but I think it's highly likely he's back IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severson plays the most of all their Ds. NJD have Ty Smith that was drafted in the 1st round the same year as Quinn Hughes. They've played together most of the season and have found chemistry. Schmidt is 30 and unlikely to fit their competitive window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Rathbone in the lineup I can see a Schmidt trade. Package him with a prospect and our 2nd round pick and try and find a long term partner for Hughes. Hakanpaa can be great on the 2nd pairing with either Rathbone or Juolevi. Olesiak can be the swing man on the left side. Olesiak and Hakanpaa makes us a much tougher team to play against. So the question becomes who can we get in a Schmidt trade as a partner for Hughes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they get Oleksiak re-signed for $3.5 million a year? If they lose Oleksiak, other potential free agent defensemen include Ryan Murray, Derek Forbort, Cody Ceci, Erik Gustafsson and Mike Reilly. Hurricanes love Hakanpaa - i assume they will re-.sign him as well. The following is a quote from Carolina's GM once Hakanpaa was acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks: "Jani is a big, physical defenseman," said Waddell. "As a right-shot, he will be an ideal partner for an offensive-minded, left-handed blueliner." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
