If Schneider, Laf, 2nd overall and Bratt are all off the table, which it appears they are, then I wouldn't get my hopes up for a "sexy" deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Pittsburgh re-signing Letang to that deal sure makes it seem like they still want to win. Letting Malkin’s 9.5 mil cap hit walk creates a lot of room. Could certainly be something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re off the table until they aren’t, though. I wouldn’t expect GMs to lead with offering those guys. Someone could very well still come up.

gizmo2337 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 At the TDL, everyone be like "it will get done at the draft!". Draft comes, and picks are treated like gold, nobody trades them other than to move up and down a few spots. Prediction. We will resign Miller. We aren't trading him for a mixed bag of late draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 23 minutes ago, Harold Drunken said: Yeah when you swing enough times you usually hit a couple. That was a hit, we also gave up a 2nd rounder and took on Sutter to send Bonino out. Kesler also coming off a 25 goal season that year too. That second rounder was the one we got back from the Ducks for Kevin Beiska…also traded Clendening with Bonino. So it was basically Bonino 2C 2nd round pick (KB3 return) Adam Clendening for Sutter 3C conditional 3rd round pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) So if Rutherford can’t get something bigger done, is Marino+Kapanen+1st+3rd enough for Miller by the time the 21st OA comes around? It’s certainly a return. Or does management pump the brakes since 2023 draft is supposed to be stronger? Edited July 7, 2022 by ilduce39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Keep him and work on an extension during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still uncertain - teams so low in the standings tend to be not taken as seriously which can lead to some unexpected wins. It's what Rutherford was explaining and why he didn't want to only look at their record under Boudreau. CBJ needs to confirm that they are really on the rise. The players they are building around are really young and development is not often linear. Columbus is a 3 hour drive from Pittsburgh. So I think it’s closest NHL city to Pittsburgh. Even Philly is a 5 hour drive from Pitts Edited July 7, 2022 by arsenalian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if I am a GM I am trading the Canucks absolutely nothing for JT at the 2023 draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree absolutely nothing going to happen today. Canucks select at 15. I'd like them to draft Geekie but no way he is there. They'll take a dman at 15 is my guess.
