Eddie Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Some interesting names there as discussed. Seems like management has been eyeing this final waiver wire drop since the start of preseason so be interesting to see if they make any pickups. Personally i would pass and save the money to see if we can make a meaningful trade for a 2nd pairing D. As Button says were cornering the market on bottom pair D and no one on this list really move the needle for me beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade you propose would do nothing to help out our cap situation since we will be operating in LTIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeergh Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Would be happy to get P Myers but have to imagine Tampa called around before waiving him to see if anyone wanted him.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 So if I stack up the Canucks and Lightning RD together is it safe to say we have the following combined depth chart?: Foote Cernak T Myers P Myers Schenn Poolman T Myers is the only offensive D man of the bunch and arguably the best RD we have. That said, he is not the right fit and for our LD guys in the top 4. A claim seems like too good of a fit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn’t what he is talking about… he is talking about a papering exercise to bury the $1.25 million for each of them temporarily to maximize LTIR. I don’t think losing Pearson would be worth the extra couple hundred thousand in LTIR space. Other other two being claimed would be a bonus. If you can have Philippe Myers for $1.4 million next year vs. Tyler Myers at $6 million… that is a big cap savings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) If we are going to operate in LTIR then we should have the room to fit P Myers. Also, I would argue that I would rather have P Myers than Dermott, especially if Rathbone sticks. Hughes Schenn OEL P Myers Stillman T Myers Rathbone Burroughs If Dermott isn't able to start the season, then we can put him on LTIR until he recovers and then try and trade him. If we can't trade him then we can send Rathbone down to Abby. Schenn, P Myers, Stillman, Burroughs. All of a sudden, we have some major truculence on the back end...

One of the few I'd bet on actually playing in the top-4 again. Plus hes big and mean and can play a shutdown role. Agree with you he would be a better fit with OEL than T Myers I just find it hard to believe that Tampa wouldnt have called around the league first to see if anyone was willing to pay something for him. He's got some value. Edited October 9, 2022 by eeeeergh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d do that deal all day long even with the 2nd. Those two would help us get closer to being a big tough team to play against. Dickinson + 2nd for Stillman + Myers would go down as one of the best trades in recent history imo. Would be absolutely stoked if thats all it took to acquire a truculent young LD with upside, and a massive shutdown defensive RD who has had success in a top-4 role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valamaki will play with Coyotes, very skill big Fin never fit Sutter style..Could be #4 D man and build his stock to move in the future.. If Chychrun is traded Valamaki will really move up the roster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
