NHL free agency: Defensemen at premium this summer

That leaves options like Ryan Whitney, 30, who last toiled for the Oilers. He’s a sizable 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, and has had some productive seasons. He’s coming off a six-year, $24-million contract and, like everyone else, will be seeking a raise.

Other defensemen headed toward UFA status include Marek Zidlicky, Joe Corvo, Andrew Ference and Ron Hainsey.

Signing a player on the market has the benefit of costing only money, not something in return. The Wings have an excess of forwards, but in order to trade for a high-end guy — like Phoenix’s Keith Yandle, for example — it’s going to cost talented young players or blue-chip prospects or a mix of both.

The Rangers need to explore the market for DZ.
 
Mcbain sucks now his value isn't close to either Girardi or Staal. and Faulk is damn sure not worth both
 
1. Brayden Schenn (C)
2. Alexander Burmistrov (C) + Paul Postma (D)
3. Jordan Eberle (F)
4. Sean Couturier (C)
5. Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson (W) + Jeff Petry (D)

In a Del Zotto deal.

Chris Kelly had 9 points in 34 games this year. 3rd liner.


Here's my idea:

Trades:
MDZ + for Burmistrov + WPG 1st

Pyatt for McLeod + 5th '13

Asham for 4th '13

Richards Amnestied

Signings:
Raymond (2 years @ 2.75 million/season)
Scuderi (2 years @ 3 million/season)
Nystrom ( 3 years @ 1.75 million/season)

Boyle is more suited to wing, but he can help with face-offs on that 4th line. Nystrom's main deficiency at center is his faceoff skills, besides that he is a good defensive center.

Pk Mainly utilizes the bottom-6:
Boyle
Nystrom
Dorsett
Burmistrov
McLeod
Callahan

Stepan and Hagelin can PK but not needed.

Scuderi will help allow Moore to jump into the play quite a bit. He was a very good mentor for Doughty in LA and Letang/Goligoski in Pitt. Solid stay-at-home d-man.
 
Here's my issue with trading MDZ for Burmistrov. The kid has already said in no uncertain terms that he is not re-signing with that team. Why are we trading away a huge piece for that? When Rick Nash wanted out we didn't trade MDZ for him even though Howson was gaga over MDZ (I understand the situation is different, especially with the NTC, but the underlying factor of wanting out lowering value is the same). Now we are getting rid of a top 4 D for a guy who might break out soon AND isn't going to re-sign with his team? The pick is nice, but it would have to be a lot higher for this to look better. If MDZ is going to Winnipeg for Burmistrov, it better also include the pick AND another piece.
 
Malkin signed for 8 years / 76 million extension with Pens. So I guess he is out of the question then :P

per @penguins

Stepan's one of our best PKers, though. Weren't he and Callahan plus/nearly plus players on the PK this year?
 
Kwayry said:
Can you expand on that since you watched him a lot?
The games I watched against the Rangers, I was impressed by his skating, his willingness to use his size, good positioning.
Edit: And yes, his shot was nice too.
Since the own goal the canes fans want to get rid of him.
To me, he is worth a shot for a mid rd pick. For a roster player, he is not worth it.
Click to expand...

Well, you must have watched a different player than me. He's soft on the puck. His positioning is just okay. He still makes mental mistakes. His skating leaves a lot to be desired, along with his strength. He isn't physical at all.

That being said, he has improved every year. You just wonder how much more improvement he can make at 25 years of age.
 
Malkin's contract seems a very good contract for us dealing with Henke. Malkin is one of the few players in the NHL that is at the same elite level as Lundqvist and his contract is 9.5m per year. Malkin plays a position that generally gets paid more money and Malkin's contract covers more "prime" years.
 
Pittsburgh must be ready to part with Kunitz or Neal. They can only keep one. If they're smart, they'll trade Kunitz when his value is high.
 
NYR Viper said:
Neal has had a concussion, I wouldn't be surprised if they move him.
Click to expand...

I don't think so. Neal has unreal chemistry with Malkin, as Dupuis does with Crosby. Kunitz is the odd man out. Pittsburgh can get a kings ransom for a guy that scored 20 goals in a shortened season. I can see a team like Toronto being stupid and coughing up someone like Jake Gardiner for him.
 
the malkin contract doesnt begin until 2014-2015 so they dont have to do anything this offseason in regards to the million bump in caphit malkin will carry.

But but but he can dangle like the polygons in NHL 13, and people compare him to Datsyuk

I'd rather look at other goalies' contracts. Goalies never get paid that much. Hank is still one of the top paid goaltenders in the league, years after signing his contract. I'd be shocked if he got over 7.5, particularly if he gets 8 years. Still overpaying, imo.

As much as this team is improved by Lundqvist, I'm not open to destroying everything this team has worked to become and throwing whatever money he wants at him because he wants a cup and we have to go all in. I'm more interested in building a competitive team, year after year. If that means saying no to him, I'm ok with it. This is the New York Rangers, not the New York Lundqvists.
 
The difference between Hank and other goalies is that he steals enough games to guarantee a playoff birth. The season when the Rangers didn't make the playoff in 2010, the back up goalie gave the Rangers 0 points. Zero. And the Rangers lost in a shoot out. He is that good.

Let's not pretend this is a team of Lundqvist and AHL scrubs. Just last year everyone here was bragging about how well we did even with Biron in net.

Lundqvist is not the only goalie in the game that can steal games.
 
I might kick the tires on David Perron to see if the Blues would let him go. Concussions are obviously a concern, but it could drive down his value to the point where he'd be cheaper than expected. Cost-controlled for another few years as well.
