Let's him be a player in free agency and hold other teams over a barrel in trades. This is only the beginning. Hard to tell still but looks like he is doing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Man, Seattle has something serious up their sleeves... they're stockpiling cap space more than anything else right now... well, that and defence. This is a calm before a trade storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either by free agency or trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, I was going to compliment you on your..."Gary is a dink". Old school shade, I like it! I calls it like I see's it. But I really don't think Jim panic trades the 9th. If he does he should get canned on the spot. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 An interesting play by Kraken might be if they try to trade some of these defencemen as their value may be high this off-season. Giordano, Larsson, Oleksiak, Dunn and Soucy make a very solid unit though, I'd stick with them and add a PMD somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Ward Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 6 minutes ago, Wolfgang Durst said: couldn't protect + were not wiling to protect (would have cost a 1st round pick and 3rd round pick for Giordano). Oleksiak would be a clear upgrade on Canucks blueline. Larsson = slam dunk in Canucks situation Point is, there are no Norris candidates here at this point and we have 4 NHL LHD and 1 NHL RHD. Only Larsson is a big miss and there was no guarantee we would have signed him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do prominent RFA signed before July 1st anyways? Never! their agent are not stupid, they lose the option of playing the offer sheet cards in the negotiations. Only reasons they would sign would be JB overpaying them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What If they package a bunch of picks, weaponize their space by taking on Skinner and go after Eichel? Do they have the assets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah doing what Vegas did. Load up on one position then deal some of them for picks/assets/players. Plenty of cap space to acquire guys via free agency as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Seattle can just go out and sign Hamilton and Suter and basically hold every other team that wants a good defence upgrade hostage... can you imagine? Suter Hamilton Giordano Larsson Oleksiak .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
