Garland > Kapanen Myers > Marino Cap space would be the only benefit but Pit can't afford that Marino is way better than Myers. Much smarter defensively and processes the game a lot faster. Marino would allow Hughes or OEL (whoever he’s with) to play more offensive 5 on 5. Right now our two talented D are babysitting guys who really aren’t top four D men.

Pretty impressive that that "3rd line guy" was on pace to score 50 points and 32 goals while being on a line with 2 average to below average players. Imagine what he may do with top 6 mins. and more talented line mates? Thanks for proving my point for me. If Mikheyev is going to be playing top six minutes, then who does that push out? Höglander? Garland? From what I see right now being the top six, assuming Miller is still here when the season begins: -Miller, Bo, Brock, Mikheyev, Petey, Podkolzin So that means Höglander is pushed to the third line, with probably Pearson and Dickinson.

What am I missing? His career prior agrees. But I would be a salty Leafs fan too if I lost one of my few defensive guys haha. 20g would be good enough for me again honestly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxNaslundxX Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 It almost feels like an opportune signing. A trade doesn't necessarily have to be in the works. There wassnt many D of similar value available and when a defenseman does become available that we want to trade for, we have multiple different assets that can be used as a trade without giving up prospects/picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikheyev is a very good player, especially defensively. He’s going to make a huge difference to the line he’s on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoglander and Garland aren’t going anywhere imo. Pearson we could maybe a 3rd for considering his age and contract. Dickinson we are the one's giving up a pick just to move that contract. No one will take him without a sweetener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think Mikheyev signing pretty much guarantees one of Pearson, Garland, and Hoglander will be moved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's assumed someone is going to be traded, likely from the forward group to improve the D. They aren't done, this is day 1 of free agency. But it does look crowded at the moment, I love Hoglander but from my point of view he has to earn top 6 minutes again. Don't forget about Kuzmenko who may start lower who knows as he's on an ELC.

Baggins Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 7 minutes ago, N4ZZY said: Since when has Free Agency been a time for GM’s or players to sign for bargain deals. It’s never been. Free Agency is crazy season for GM’s. Look at some of the contracts that were handed out. Gudbranson got 4M for 4 years. Columbus is nuts! You have no persective. Hamhuis signed for far less than market value to play here. Philly offered him 6 mill. Is a 25% discount a bargain? He's not the only player to do it. Garrison may not have been great but had highers offers as well. Paul Kariya signed a one year 1m deal with the Av's for a shot at the cup. Analysts predicted 7m x 7 years for Myers. He took less with a shorter term because he "wanted" to come here. Many fans here have very unrealistic ideas of market value. Just because NHL players make a lot doesn't mean they don't give salary breaks to teams under certain conditions. Even doing so they make a lot of money. That doesn't negate it being a deal for the team. What reason did Gudbranson have to sign with Columbus other than money? He didn't give them a deal. Perspective.

Absolutely, but I think we're going to need a lot of moves upcoming. Firstly we'll need to move Garland, then we need to acquire a defenceman and somehow lose 2-3M in that process to get under the cap. Even Garland for Marino and we're still over the cap. My other concern is that we're lacking a true 3C, unless we play Bo as a 3C and run 3 scoring lines which it looks like management might be constructing... Lots of moves to come but Myers cannot be one of them unless we're somehow getting 2 solid RDs who can play 20+ minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Can anyone confirm if Mikeyhev can lay hits and play a physical game?? All I know is his speed and nifty hands to pop in a few goals on fast breaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
