BigTramFan Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I am starting to think we trade one of our extra wingers for a decent RD...maybe Garland straight up for Marino. Waive Dickinson and Poolman and this gives us enough cap space to sign Rodrigues as 3C ($2.0 - 2.5m x 3) and Steel as 13th forward with some future upside ($850k x 2) Garland is great but we would still have a wealth of future talent on wing in our pool (Hoglander, Steel, Klimovich, Lekkerimaki, McDonough, Bains, Forsell) Roster becomes: Miller Pettersson Boeser Mikheyev Horvat Podkolzin Pearson Rodrigues Kuzmenko Joshua Lazar Lockwood (Steel) OEL Marino Hughes Schenn Dermott Myers (Rathbone Burroughs) Demko (Martin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureBurrito Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Surprising Klingberg and Kadri are still UFA's (have to think Calgary wants Kadri now)...

This is how we got hosed on the Luongo rule. Up next....... The Canucks rule if we try to emulate what Tampa and TO have done we're gonna get slapped with retroactive punishment book it.

We can maybe afford another $1M signing with the LTIR factored in but we are up to the cap. Management must shed cap. Dump Pearson for future considerations. Look to rehome another contract such as Poolman. Cannot stress this enough. As long as they fall under the $1.1m waiver amount, we can sign as many players as we have contract slots for. Whoever doesn't make the team in camp, gets waived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Lots of 3Cs are being undercut this off-season so I wonder if we could sign him for a cool 2M. Rodriguez is a 40 point, 20 goal scoring center but his faceoffs aren't great, Steel a bit worse. Ideally we'd have more of a checking shutdown guy but this would make our team quite dynamic and offensive. In the ideal world we'd cap dump Dickinson to Arizona (maybe they'd take him for nothing, or we give them a 4th rounder happily) and sign Rodriguez for his money 2.5M x 2 years. We still have work to do - get rid of 3M cap, trade Garland for a defenceman, but that's another day's work. Garland + 3rd to NJD for Marino? Pettersson - Miller - Podkolzin Kuzmenko - Horvat - Boeser Pearson - Rodriguez - Mikheyev Joshua - Lazar - Hoglander Lockwood Hughes - Marino OEL - Myers Rathbone - Schenn Great top 6, one of the best 3rd lines in the league and that's a big strong 4th line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klingberg is not coming here. I would be shocked if he signed with us. And then what makes things even more interesting is what does the team do with their cap issues before the season begins? There’s going to be trades for sure happening so that the team is cap compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Is there any free agents out there who can play centre and is good on the dot? Other than Marino (who I am not sure how he’s inserted into our lineup with subtracting any player of importance from our roster), I like the roster. They’re deep on the forwards. The defense is where I have concerns… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where does he slot in with the fourth line already kinda penciled in with Lazar, Pearson and Joshua/Lockwood? Is Russel or Stralman RHD?

I can't see NJD trading Marino especially as they have put all over social media about "Big John" coming to Jersey. However, as many have suggested, adding Marino to their roster may allow NJD to trade a different Dman. That might be something VAN is interested in.

If he doesn’t do that, how does he expect to get rid of salary to get underneath the cap? I don’t understand what his strategy would be… I think in terms of draft capital the team has no interest in moving picks out. But you could add someone like Hoglander ( because apparently everyone is over him lol ) with Myers to move out cap. Tyler Myers Nils Hoglander 23' Rangers 4th rd pick For Henri Jokiharju 23' Golden Knights 2nd rd pick 3.5 million in cap moved, or maybe 1 - 1.5m retained? . The team gets to retain Garland ( for some reason everyone wants to move him ) You grab a 23 year old dman who is a smooth skating excellent passer / puck mover and reliable defensively even if he needs to bulk up. You get a 2nd rd pick in 23 The Sabres gain a veteran blue liner to help their youth on the back end. A stop gap if you will. They gain value in Hoglander and recover a pick in the later rounds. I dunno, just thinking out loud Edited July 17, 2022 by Mike Vanderhoek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
