DeNiro Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 7 minutes ago, KirkSave said: Fair enough. I personally hope they hang onto it and select someone with it, assuming the Isles just barely miss the playoffs. This will be a deep draft and our D needs A LOT of work and I would rather invest in a 1st rounder but if a "quicker fix" presents itself, I do not doubt it would be way this MGMT/Organization would lean towards. I hope they keep it too. I’d rather they sign older players on shorter contracts. Sign guys like TVR/Shattenkirk/Jensen/E.Johnson Might cost a bit more to bring them here but they would be more likely to sign short deals. Exactly what we need until we can develop some D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping for the #4 spot. We can't handle much winning. Hopefully PA is waiting until after happy hour in Florida and will make some more moves to seal the tank. I can't see the Canucks being a better team without Bo. The team will be down in scoring for sure. Of the next 11 games, I just don't see them winning more than 3. NJ, NY, NYI, Detroit x2, NY, Philly, Nash, St.L, Boston. Edited February 5 by higgyfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis is barely better than us. The Islanders are still a question mark. Detroit is just starting to knock on the door of being legit. Philly is meh, and Nashville are sellers. I could see the team going .500. Team is good enough to outscore their problems some nights. I am definitely hoping your 3 win max prediction is correct though.

jyu Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: Interesting to note that if the Isles signed Bo to an 8 year deal he’d be an Islander for as long as he was a Canuck. Weird to think by the end of that contract he’d have as much allegiance to them. I hope he goes somewhere shorter term. It’s a nice thought to have him come back here later on in his career. We could always trade for him later. They can retain 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I like the fact we have a hard nosed coach now. He’s the perfect coach for players like Attu Podz and Klimovich. Those are Tocchet kinda players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has some pretty interesting parallels to the Linden trade though. New hard nosed coach taking over. Captain traded for a young power forward. New Swedish star projected to be captain. Just need to sign Bergeron and make him captain in the meantime to make it complete. Edited February 5 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I dunno what cap space ppl keep referring to with the bo trade. They gained 0 cap space for next season and actually lost 4+ in cap space by taking on AB since bo doesn’t occupy cap space unsigned. They have even less cap space than they started with next summer if they traded bo for expiring contract instead 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still put Pears on LITR for another $3.250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be traded to a contender and his cap hit of 6 mill off our books. Assuming we can move Boeser and not take back a contract, we might some $ to play with. A re-tooling/rebuilding team needs cap space to give oneself a better position at the bargaining table. Hoping Alvin and Co don't spend to the cap for the next few seasons.

However, my understanding is that once talks with Bo's camp stalled, management made the decision to pivot to negotiations with Miller's group. That suggests to me that there was never a plan to re-sign them both. It was always going to be one or the other. As far as moving the Isle's pick for a defenseman....I certainly hope that is not the plan....This team needs a rebuild...not another defender who might drop our GA by a few percentage points and see us finish outside the bottom 10.....

I don't think they can afford to spend to the Cap because they will need to cough up some loot for EP40 and others. It's pretty hard to speculate on what going on behind closed doors these days. Totally agree getting cap space is still paramount to a change in the direction they have been headed, which I'm sure this group is well aware of. I'm wondering if todays recalls from the farm have any bearing on future moves. It all depends what the team gets back, players or picks? Or players with lower salaries. There's a lot of variables on this. I keep thinking that the true clarity on cap space will be seen in the off season when players like Myers can be dealt with as you point out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure contending teams have 6 mil to take on Myers as a depth guy. Maybe a rebuilding team takes him on for nothing with the idea of selling him at the deadline for assets. If that’s the case, I think there’s an argument to be made that we might as well just hang on to him as well, to get a pick or two for him at the deadline. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
