Add to that a guy like Gio that you can flip at the TDL if they stumble or if not go on a nice run and mentor a younger partner. Wow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the lists coming out I wonder if Seattle doesn't take a whole bunch of players on expiring contracts to flip at the deadline. Load up for the 2022 draft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Lots of big contracts being dangled, Seattle will surely bite on someone. For me they should build around Landeskog rather than an old Price or Giordano. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, but it'd also free up almost 7M a year early. Gio's pushing 38, that hole will be there sooner than later regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means they might end up overpaying for someone who’s not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gio stays it doesn't hurt em much, if he goes it won't either, he's not long for the league anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Some of these reports. Like this one and Quick. It’s kinda like well no shiz lol. I get it, they use to be stars but they are just regressors with $ attached to them. Really they are no brainers Edited July 19, 2021 by Devron44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I mean, at 38 there's no real desire to protect him and less so to draft him. Kylington is unprotected as well and more newsworthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I'm just not sure if many teams will want an old Gio and they could just grab Kylington who's got more potential/possibly more trade value instead. Same could be said about Price, I'm not sure how many teams would trade for an older 10M now-injured goalie. Landeskog though would be much better to just keep him or trade him for a couple of 1sts and prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landeskog though would be much better to just keep him or trade him for a couple of 1sts and prospects. Kylington has already gone through waivers without being claimed. Landeskog is a UFA. Can't see Seattle picking up a player and convincing him to sign only to trade him a few days later. Price has a full NMC. Seattle can pick him up for themselves because he waived it but can't just move him further without his consent. NTC/NMC now travel with the player.

oldnews Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Makes sense - Giordano aint a Canuck - there's no room for him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
