Ted Lasso Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Allvin confirmed we’ll be shopping for a third line C in the off-season. What UFA, RFA or trade targets does everyone like? @Elias Pettersson has suggested Kuraly from CBJ. Blueger could be another option, given his speed. Who do you got?

Eddie Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Let me preface this with the fact I'm not at all opposed to retooling with the correct assets. I do however believe that proper strategy with the 3C role next year is to either leave it open for Raty to take a run at or fill it with another one of our nearly prospects OR try for a RFA that the team holding their rights can't probably afford to pay and that we can get cheaply or as part of a deal for one of our overpaid winger - kinda like Dickinson but you know not a complete disaster in every way. . . The reasoning behind this is that the 3C roles is perfect for either Raty if he can develop or whoever we pick in the top 10 this year ( which is likely a C most likely Bedard... pls pls pls let it be Bedard ) to start in hopefully within a year from now. It is also the perfect place for Miller to slide back down to when his Offence dries up and is usurped by the afore mentioned draft pick later in his mahooosively expensive deal which is unlikely we shift :/ Further to that the money we when save when the ELC at 3C and then higher for a few years can help to bolster the D while were still paying for the heavy weight contracts of our current crop of space wasters in that position. Signing an 3-5 M 3C now with term will further compromise our cap flexibility moving forward and reduce our opportunities to bring in better D and potentially buy out the shitters we have. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Nicholas Roy, Stephenson, Kotkaniemi (step up JT Miller, have fun in Raleigh)... then again, I'll also be that guy and say Dries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 J.T. Compher would be nice but not sure if doable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HKSR Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 I find it hilarious that we are struggling to find a legitimate 3C and people want to trade Miller to open up an even larger gaping hole down the middle. 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Honestly since next year shouldn't be the year to get an established guy. I think It would be in our best interest to try to create some competition internally we have Raty Aman I'd like to see them try to make a move for guys like Turcotte, Krebs, Morrozov. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Needs to come from within which leaves Raty or for cheap. More UFA bargain bins, Euro FAs or college FAs. Personally I like a Kravtsov-Raty-Podz kid line. Don’t want to push him though if he is not ready, rather have him winning in Abby than losing in Van if not ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Thinking Tyson Jost I would like Raty to take on that role, but I'm not sure he'd be ready for that next season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what we want from that position. At 5'11" and under 190lbs, he's not gonna be a shut down guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have zero interest in Jost. He’s not a right shot and he’s not even decent defensively. We will get us a #3C who is a right shot and excellent defensively. He will be good on the PK too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Odd. Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Barbashev or Sissons for a right shot Id rather go for Barbashev as he just turned 27 and fits more with our age group. A third line of Kravtsov/Barbashev/Podkolzin could be dynamite. Edited March 8, 2023 by Odd. 1 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller has 7 years and with Carolina not liking long term deals for players in their late 20s - doubtful they would have any interest. Carolina was willing to let Meier play on his 10M QO vs extending him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 We need a 3C that is foundational. 2 words son... Brandon. Sutter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 JT Compher is the only UFA centre who might be a good fit for us as a 3rd line C. He's having quite a break out season, so not sure if he'd be in our price range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
