alucard Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Would you do it? it is a good addition to our defense, good for guys like Rathbone to learn from P.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Who would he play with? Rathbone or Hughes would probably be a disaster and moving Myers away from OEL is a different kind of disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jatylo Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm not really sure where he would be a fit. He is an entertaining player to watch. But to get the most of him he needs a high energy fan base and a tanev-like pairing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux_win Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 At his full market value I would pass but if we could get him for cheap, why not? The thing is that he's going to want way more than we can afford. I think he's still a quality NHL player so it's all about how much.

Bobby James Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yes for 1 million for 1 year. No risk on our end that way if we need to waive him. If he wants anything higher then probably not. He'd likely play bottom pair or even #7 and we don't really need many more of those guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Open to it, unlike many. His contract was overblown, but he's still and effective offensive guy. Would depend on other moves we make though. If we could: 1. Trade Garland or similar for a 2nd pairing RD 2. Trade Myers for 2nd or 3rd round pick or another defensive prospect if needed to balance contracts He's not the best defensively, but he transitions the puck well and still has solid offensive instincts. Hughes / Schenn OEL / ???? Rathbone / Subban And, a top powerplay unit where we have a defense on the ice of Hughes / Subban, should be fun to watch and would free up another higher end forward to play second unit powerplay, balancing it. This is worth considering, but only conditionally. We need another stay at home D on the right side to allow OEL to activate and start achieving numbers again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 One year 1M. He could end up being a steal and regain his some of his former self. He is also a RD which we could use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 A one year, show me deal @ 1.9-2.1M - absolutely. Dude is still good, just was severely severely overpaid the last few years for what he brings now. Would make a good Ozone starts oriented bottom pairing with Jack Rathbone and also help run the 2nd PP unit with OEL. Having Rathbone, Subban, Dermott & Schenn as 5th-8th defensemen would be pretty good IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaheim has tons of cap space and needs D, they would be able to flip him at the 2024 TDL and get assets back. Just don't know how the deal would work to make Verbeek agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I'd far rather bring in Stralman on a cheap deal if we are getting an older D. He had a pretty solid season in AZ last year, and can PK quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Wouldn't be my main target, for certain. We really need to be looking for another Tanev-like player more than anything, but adding a player like PK on the cheap doesn't seem like a horrible idea as he still brings some of everything despite his dramatic decline. I'd far sooner have PK at 1m than I would have been to see Stecher back at 1m. As Canuckster86 said, if we moved Myers that would open up a spot while saving us a ton of cap. Then we could use that cap, and get Hughes his stay at home defenseman. This, of course, assumes we manage to figure something out with Poolman. If we had the cap, I'd love to see if we could swing something for: Adam Larsson K'Andre Miller Brandon Carlo Hughes Larsson/Miller/Carlo OEL Subban Rathbone Schenn Dermott However, if we were to re-sign Miller, we wouldn't be able to afford this level of defenseman. In that case, I would suggest we trade with Jersey for Jonas Siegenthaler. He's a low-cost, a highly smart defensive player who I think would pair well with Hughes. He's also RFA at the end of next season, so there might be an opportunity to get him signed longer term. Hughes Sieganthaler OEL Subban Rathbone Schenn Dermott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
