Jason Demers seems like the only UFA name & he won't cost 3 Million. Are you going to spend assets, who available for trade? The thought has been both Pettersson & Hughes would prefer longer term. I'm not sure if an extra 3 million does that, but maybe it atleast gets one of them long term, and that's what they are hoping for. Considering it been cordial & there's stated understanding of what different terms look like; Im thinking they'll see if Hamonic not returning presents any other options, then come to a deal. If (big if), Hamonic does indeed want to play in the US, then a package of TH and Mc would be the best way to find a replacement. It'd be hard to fina team to do a lateral, rhd for rhd deal, but throwing in a player like Mac might do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have most of the same issues playing anywhere even in the US. Agreed. To me it sounds like play in Van or opt out is what he's considering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see a TH trade at this stage, but I guess we'll see. It'll be interesting to see whats available on the waiver wire. All that said I still think best case is Hamonic coming back to play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 2 hours ago, Provost said: What mentions? We would be in LTIR so won’t have any room under the cap regardless after signing them. Some pundits, such as Friedman, have made comments about Benning wanting to have some cap space after signing them within our 14ish million of room. 2 hours ago, bbllpp said: they should be able to split 14M fairly between the pair on bridges and leave 2 M for cap flexibility Yes, but as above, it sounds to me like Benning is trying to leave some space. If Hamonic is traded or retires, I'd like to see Benning lock P&H longer term and then find a Hamonic replacement once we get the cap relief from injuries after the season starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one comes around and the other doesn't, you explore a trade for that one. What they do with these two contracts will determine if they have an actual chance to be a contending team or not. Both are good players who could be great players, but they're not guys who can carry a team to the promised land on their own. Agreed. Once you start acting like you are bigger than the team, it can only lead to problems. Luckily we have no idea what's actually holding up the negotiations. I truly hope they aren't trying to get more money at the cost of losing some of their teammates... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as far fetched as you think. Okkkk I'm upset about the signing taking too long but really? Petey compared to RNH?

They are indeed very complicated contracts to negotiate. Millions of dollars. One agent for both players. Probably gonna be a 1-2 signing. Probably sign at the same time… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) I think some fans have the wrong deception of Petey and Hughes. Petey for sure. I remember him saying he’d go pick-up Boeser himself a couple years ago. This is mostly the agent why they are sitting out. Hopefully they just say screw it and sign the papers Edited September 29, 2021 by Devron44 Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
