Gollumpus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Meh, if he wants to go to free agency then being exposed in the draft doesn't really change anything, other than (if selected) it gives Seattle a couple of days to try and sign him ahead of said free agency, no? If Landescog turned down Seattle in that window of opportunity granted by the draft, so he can hear other offers he can always cycle back later, or is there some kind of weird rule that would prevent Landeskog from signing with the team of his choice if he were to turn down an initial offer from Seattle?. regards, G.

KirkSave Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It's simple. If he wants to stay with the Avs he will accept their offer, albeit at a much reduced annual salary to what he is asking for. If he really wants to cash in, he will sign elsewhere. Carolina intrigues me. They have loads of cap space at the moment and he would be a perfect fit with their group. They are also a young dynamic team that could push for a cup in the next few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Why would you protect a UFA that it is clear is going to market. It isn’t savage, it isn’t sending a message it is basic asset management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I got to give Sakic the Captain Morgan slow clap. He is holding steady to what he thinks is right for his team. Did the same with the Duchesne trade. He's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, Seattle would just have a few extra days to sign him if they picked him. Landeskog is entitled to say 'no' and sign elsewhere come the 28th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rick Blight Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 I don't understand the praise for Sakic here. He may lose an asset like Landeskog for nothing and gets praise but Benning doesn't get assets for Hamhuis,Stetcher, Tanev, Toffoli, Markstrom and fans threaten to tar and feather him and ride him on a rail out of town. The outcry on CDC would be unbearable if we would potentially lose a player of Landeskog's ilk for nothing. 4 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outcry on CDC would be unbearable if we would potentially lose a player of Landeskog's ilk for nothing. Obviously there's some unfair criticism of Benning (though a heck of a lot of fair criticism). Sometimes letting a player go instead of overpaying them can be a good move. In this vein, maybe Markstrom/Tanev is a fair comparison. The obvious difference between Sakic and Benning, though, is that Sakic has built a team that is going to be a perennial contender, while Benning...not. Hamhuis is not a fair comparison, and Toffoli is totally different. Benning's consistent blunders don't earn him the benefit of the doubt. Sakic's team-building kinda does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 There's no way Lands will go to Seattle. If he doesn't sign with the Avalanche, he will go to a contender. Could be Lands and Sakic have had preliminary discussions about re-signing. If Lands walks, the Avs will really miss his beastly playoff game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakic won me over with his handling of the Duchene trade. He has built up some nice depth and he has a winning pedigree. He definitely knows the type of player it takes to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outcry on CDC would be unbearable if we would potentially lose a player of Landeskog's ilk for nothing. They had a REAL chance to win the cup. . we lose ufas for nothing for no reason we aren’t cup contenders we are barely a last wild card contender. If the Avs we’re going to be near last I’d bet sakic would have moved GL at the deadline Jb would let him leave for nothing while finishing near last. Possible sakic isnt prepared to handcuff his team with a long term high cap value contract that will screw the team in a few years it’s called foresight something JB has displayed none of. cup contenders and bottom feeders usually have different mentalities towards pending ufas just like trading for rentals. Jb has a bottom feeding team and he treats them like cup contenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Carolina is kind of in a sticky situation. 29 mil in cap space but only 12 guys signed and 0 goalies signed. So their contract situation is a little complicated right now. They cant afford to add anyone from the outside quite yet. They need to figure out how they can sign 11 more players with 29.5mil cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see if Seattle would pick Ovechkin, tbh. Seattle has exclusive rights to talk to RFA's/UFA's right now so I expect they will at least talk to players like Landescog and potentially make him an offer. If he accepts the offer he will count as the player taken from Colorado for purposes of the expansion draft. If they can't reach a deal then Seattle will likely just pick a player from Colorado's unprotected list. There is nothing that should scare Seattle away from talking to him as they have nothing to lose. They may talk to Ovechkin as well but I think Ovie has always said the only other team he could see himself playing for is Montreal. Seattle's RFA/UFA interview period The Kraken have an exclusive window from July 18 at 10 a.m. ET to July 21 at 10 a.m. ET to speak with, and potentially sign any RFAs or UFAs left unprotected for the expansion draft by the 30 NHL clubs (Vegas is exempt from the expansion draft).Jun. 11, 2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of one of the highest scoring lines in the NHL this past season. With his ask on a new contract Sakic probably had to make hard choices. I seem to remember Landeskog went thru a tough patch 2 years ago. Maybe the dye was cast then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
