Gawdzukes Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) I see there is a lot of discussion regarding our defence but I saw this article on nhl.com and figured this is something people haven't speculated on as much due to our cap concerns. After reading this through, seeing the opportunities, and knowing JB I would have to think there has to be a plan to upgrade the forwards as well as the defence. How that happens only Jim, Gear, and Wiesy know but I wonder what you all think about who we would would target. Keep in mind I'm thinking we can come up with $3 - $5 million after sorting out the chafe. I'll let you know my thoughts after you read the article. https://www.nhl.com/news/top-unrestricted-free-agent-forwards-available/c-325621432 One thing I noticed is there are a lot of good face-off men and power play guys. I don't think we need power play guys, we're crowded there already so I wouldn't really want a guy that scores mostly on the PP. In addition there are also some real gud penalty killers. I firmly believe we need a top notch PK'er with Beagle, Sutter, Motte, all questionable. We also need a third line center and a LW. So I guess I'm making a list. Feel free to disagree. Nick Bonino - 2 x $2.75 (33 looking for security / 3 yr deal, he'll probably sign elsewhere) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=105377 Blake Coleman - 4 x $3.2 (29, he should cash in, tough player, 207 he can score, top PK'er) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=123293 Philip Danault - 4 x $4.2 (28, Center low points last year, great face-offs, PK, two way play) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=122605 Nick Foligno - 2 x $3.25 (33, former Captain, hit leader, physical left wing, PK'er, low points) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=80212 Ryan Getsalaugh - 1 yr - $9.225 000 - (Leader, Center, Face-offs) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=62467 Taylor Hall - 3 x $5.5m (29, good physical left winger, great on the PP) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=106818 Mike Hoffman - 1 x $2.5 (31, down year, had a hard time getting a contract last year) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=102284 David Krejci - 2 x $4 (35, Center, great on the face-off, great secondary 2-way player) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=78644 Gabriel Landeskog 6x6 (28, Captain, consistent 20 goal scorer, 2 way player) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=118530 Alex Ovechkin - 3 x 9.5 (The man, the legend, apparently he can score) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=118530 Kyle Palmieri 2 x $2.5 (30, off year but perennial 20 goal scorer, PP guy) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=120908 Corey Perry 1 x $775,000 (36, great season with the habs, kind of a goof) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=59656 Brandon Saad 2 x $4.5 (28, Goal scorer, 207, he's been bouncing around a bit) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=123396 Jayden Schwartz - 3 x $3.9 (28, Lw, 50 point guy, more of a playmaker, and feisty) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=118953 Paul Stastny 1 x $2.25 (35, Tough player but doesn't generate points like his pops) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=69840 Joe Thornton 1 x Rooster (420, I think he's done lol) https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=23710 I see Perry, Ovechkin, Landeskog, and Krecji, maybe Danault, re-signing with their teams. Hall is in left field, Thornton, Hoffman, and Palmieri are write-offs. That leaves Coleman Danualt Foligno Schwartz Saad Bonino I think that's JB's order but I'd go hard for Schwartz, Coleman, or Saad. Might have to re-sign Sutter cheap or play Miller/Lind. I really think JB will go after Foligno, that's his type of player and fits what we're doing to a T.

I want Boone Jenner or Barclay Goodrow. 3. Focus on ridding us of Loui or Roussel's cap (retention, buyout). Enough is enough. 4. Bring in some size on the back end. I think contracts are going to surprise us this offseason. Won't be huge money like some people seem to think, more term. 5. Schwartz is a guy of interest, could be a bargain on term and money. Focus on a big name defenceman next offseason, when our cap situation becomes stable. Edited July 11, 2021 by KKnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think it's going to be more costly than that. Sadly in flat cap world it seems just putting up with the final year of his contract is the most sensible thing to do from a cap management perspective.

Nucker 67 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 What about Mattias Janmark to C the 3rd line? Dougie Hamilton as Hughes' new D partner. Assuming they would have to trade Schmidt+, and a couple of buyouts. Top 9 Pettersson - Miller - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Hoglander Motte - Janmark - Podkolzin Top 4 Hughes - Hamilton Juolevi - Myers Edler - Rathbone Bowey or cheap depth by UFA or trade? I think they should swing for the fences to get Hughes a top notch D partner for the next several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fanuck Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 For where we stand as a franchise right now UFA season just seems like a suckers game. Many names people are throwing out are going to be overpriced in both dollars & term imo. Maybe a 2nd tier support guy like a Forbort/Hamonic/Hakinpaa type but definitely stay away from guys looking for career paydays - we're not there yet, the cap we don't spend this off season will ultimately be WAY more valuable in one or two more seasons when we know exactly where this core needs to be added to. Stay the course, build through the draft and play the kids in the meantime, play them a lot. 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Help Tampa out with their cap issues and move Ferland for Killorn +. Only costs us 1m more and solves our mid 6 LW issue (as well as adding say a late 2nd+/- for helping them out). There's a few guys I'd target for 3c as well. Jenner out of CBJ, Paul out of OTT etc. As well as a few decent UFA options. From there I'd target a couple of Hamonic, Larsson, Savard, Hakanpaa, Ceci as UFA and/or guys like Mayfield, Jensen, Foote etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Yeah, Schwartz, Coleman, and Saad would be at the top of my list for top six forwards (within reason) we should go after.
