billabong Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 if true, the deal must be either a 5th rounder for holtby with retained salary OR holtby for debrusk cause the money is similar miller-petey-boeser debrusk-horvat-garland pearson-dickinson-hoglander motte-sutter-podkolzin highmore-macewan a forward with some depth?! oh the humanity!!!

24K PureCool Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'll trade Holtby for future considerations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I'd do Holtby for a 7th or, if retained, a better pick. The big question is what happens with Schmidt, if you move Schmidt & replace him with someone making 4.5M or so, then that will make retention on Holtby easier.

We still need a backup and there aren't a ton of options out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense to retain. After signing a backup for around 2 mil we wouldn’t be saving like any cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Their offer is probably some form of Holtby for DeBrusk. The reason it’s going to take a minute is because Bennings gotta figure out which half of our draft picks are attached to Holtby and which are going to be attached to Schmidt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you could retain and get a backup while saving even if it’s just marginal cap savings and get an asset (maybe a pick) out of the deal I’d call it a win.

If we can clear all the cap and sign Hamonic, Savard and Khaira or a similar combo could round out the team nicely . Also Green does have the option of running 3 offensive lines Hoglander - Petterson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Garland DeBrusk - Miller - Podkolzin Motte - Dickinson - Highmore Khaira/MacEwan/etc DeBrusk would be nice.

He either had more than 40 points and/or projected to have more than 40 points every season except this past covid crap season. He has decent size, skates really well and is good on the forecheck.....at least that is my synopsis of his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtby had a .889 SV% and 3.67 GAA... that was tied for 52nd in the league... only Hart was worse. I think we can find a better backup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can find a better backup I'm pretty sure Baumgartner was a big part of the problem. There's not a lot of decent backups available this season, which is why teams are interested in Holtby. We need to avoid being stuck with a guy like Rittich who has proven himself to not be NHL material. Edited July 26, 2021 by King Heffy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
