Ekman-Larsson - Hamilton Hughes - Myers Joulevi - Bowey Rathbone Top two pairs get over 20 mins so the third pair gets some pretty sheltered mins as they develop. Because Hamilton would cost 8-9m and we wouldn't have that much cap space just by moving Schmidt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL - Hamilton Hughes - Hamonic Rathbone - Myers Juolevi Sadly I doubt that'd happen, plus neither of those top guys are particularly tough or play super solid defence but boy it'd be fun to have some stars, arguably 3, all together. That being said, SJS went to crap after they united Burns and Karlsson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal only nets them $2m in cap space with one less roster player. Once they fill that roster spot at min of $750k then they only end up saving $1.25m in cap. I think TBL are more likely to trade Palat very cheaply, which will give them the cap space to sign a bunch of league minimum guys to complete their roster.

Sign Douggie, BOOM If we were/are chasing Dougie, I’d actually trade both Schmidt and Myers, and then sign Hamilton and Hamonic with the ~$12M in freed cap space (ideally with some change left over). And look to add another RHD (maybe in the mode of a Hakanpaa, Ceci, etc) for the third pair. We don’t really need a $6M Myers on the third pairing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would cheer Jim Bennings name if he was able to move Myers and Schmidt. I’m kind of over the Myers experiment. I just don’t see him being any better than he already is. Would be nice if he used his size to hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, that blueline would feed Petey a 100+ point season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think it was possible before, but seeing some of the trades this year, I actually think there might be a way to move Myers at his full cap hit, if it’s basically just for future considerations. Or use assets from the Schmidt trade to sweeten Myers. I think both of them could be cleared off the books, and if it means Hamilton coming in (I think and OEL-Hamilton first pairing could really work), I would be fine with zero net assets on Schmidt+Myers, and just a pure cap dump. Myers also had a pretty good season, at least by his standards. And he’s viewed much more positively by a lot of people than his analytics suggest.

Need to keep the prospect pool full. I don’t see Jim moving Myers unless a team is willing to take on that contract. JB isn’t done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
