(PROPOSAL) BB FOR ANYONE THAT WILL TAKE HIS CONTRACT


Recommended Posts

The whole team (except for Petey) has played like crap up until that last game. I'll give Brock a few more weeks here to show he can still be a useful scorer. Plus, he kinda has to show that first to have any trade value.

Is Boeser for Severson unreasonable?

Would the Devils go for that?

I understand it's better than losing him for nothing. But I'd figure Severson would require more from the Devils.

Canucks would have to take on an additional $2.4 million in salary somewhere.

Haula to balance the cap, and the Rangers 4th round pick we have in 2023?

I think there's a chance, they're probably going to trade Severson anyway as a pending UFA, they've got Hamilton and Marino on the right side so Severson is a luxury. 

 

Devils have top six centers down the middle in Hughes and Hischier, they're also pretty set on RD. They're not as strong down the wing though, and Boeser is on a short term deal so it's not really a ton of commitment. They'd be getting a guy who's shown he can put up 20+ goals and 45-50 points with term for a guy they'll probably lose to UFA if they keep him. Severson will want to be paid, Jersey has a lot of moving cap pieces and should probably prioritize re-signing Bratt. 

 

I question whether it's worth going after Severson via trade though, but I suppose it depends on which direction management is committed to. If the idea is to try and compete sooner than later they could certainly do worse, and if they really like Severson trading for him is a good way to try and lock him down before another team does. 

 

There'd probably need to be some other moving pieces mixed in but the bones of a trade are there imo. Jersey is a team that probably wants to try and compete, I could see them taking a player over picks at this point given the youth in their system and on their roster.

Agree with this notion but where do you put him in the lineup?

 

Take Garland off Horvat? Kuzmenko off Petey?

 

Can he bring scoring from the 3rd line? If so, that's a big win for the team.

It’s a tough call. I wouldn’t want to be the one deciding to break up any of the lines from the Penguins game. That was the first time this year the Canucks have played like a real team for 60 minutes.

This proposal is bad, the idea that Brock is suddenly worthless is dumb. Folks need to chill. 

 

He's got two years left on his contract after this season, ain't a ton of term. Throw him in the top six and put him in positions to succeed in hopes that he produces, and if you cut him some slack as he's just coming off injury he probably eventually will. Over his career he's been good for 45-50ish points and 20-24ish goals, there's still a chance he can either meet or improve upon that. 

 

He's played 6 games and has 4 assists. Sure, he's struggled to score but he's still produced. That's a good sign. 

 

Worst comes to worst retain 1M for a couple years to bump up his value, we're used to dead cap at this point anyway. Three seasons ain't the end of the world, and if it actually gets you something of value that's fantastic. 

Any cap retention longer than one season is not acceptable.  We have already had two management groups stupid enough to do this; any management staff who even suggest this need to be fired on the spot.

OP is getting shredded but his point stands that BB just isnt a fit on this team.  The top 6 seems like its coming together. 

 

Cant generate on his own. 

 

Has shown limited chemistry with line mates other than EP, and even they struggled at times when paired together.  

 

The lack of pace hurts this team.  He’s also not a necessity for the PP.

 

He would do well on an already quick team that can feed him the puck/need a RH PP option.

 

His value though is probably quite low.  There would need to be a team that has a specific need for his skillset, which is basically just a triggerman.

I disagree with the proposal to dump him for anything. 

 

But I do think we need to make a couple trades. Miller is one of them and another is either Brock or Garland. 

 

Garland might have more value in a trade so maybe look to move him and take a chance on Brock regaining his form. 

 

Bottom line though is I don't think we should or need to trade these players for nothing just to clear cap.

If You could get a first for him with no cap back then you take that deal and run. 
‘I think the game has gotten too fast for him since he was a rookie and he seems to have lost a step with all the injuries. 
‘I see him more as a secondary scorer than a primary option now. More of a Gagner type and is making around double what a player of that level should. 
‘If the Devils would trade for Severson I would take that deal, trade from position of relative strength to fill a premium position and one of horrible weakness. I know he is UFA and if he didn’t re-sign or doesn’t work out we get cap space.
