Speculation: 2013 Offseason Thread Part VI: Vinny Lecavalier chooses Philly (5 years, $4.5M per)

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

don't see anything wrong with letting Miller play on the 3rd line this season on wing. Yes his ceiling is better than that but to get acclimated to the nhl put him in a bottom 6 role this year. Bottom 6 needs to get younger and faster

He got plenty of 3rd line time last season. He became less and less effective as the season went on.

So.. This is a new season with training camp and a pre season. What's our other options

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Staal for the 5th overall, Rask, and Mcbain then if Jones slips to the third pick move the 5th and Miller.

Do it!

Theres not many, Ill give you that.

So, thats where we stand 13 years into Sather's tenure? Cross our fingers and hope these guys can fill a spot?

90% of teams in the NHL are in that position. Hell, Chicago was in that position going into last season. Saad and Kruger stepped up.

meh, never said u were wrong about him, he's had long enough imo as well. He has done better lately though at least on paper

For starters, I think its easier to make your depth look better simply by having elite top-end talent. Chicago blows away the Rangers in that department as well.

Good job side-stepping the point.

Tyler Kennedy to SJ for 2nd round pick

Am I supposed to agree with a point that I dont necessarily agree with?

No, but you didn't actually respond to the point.

 

[Tawnos]

Good deal for both sides. Kennedy wasn't going to sign. San Jose gets a useful player.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Lol with 8 players signed the Pens have $50 million committed.

Chuck Fletcher will continue to listen to interest in Clutterbuck, but said 45 min ago the deal has to be right...he's not giving him away.

I'm not leaving the Hurricanes table. Jim rutherford is constantly on and off the phone.

Canes have 2 firm offers and a 3rd nibbling on 5th overall. Toronto is out. Carolina may wait until 4th pick to make a deal.

 

[Kakko]

The Flames don't have a goalie, do they?

I want it!

let us prepare to get to ready rumble.

 

[BroadwayHustle]

Its too bad Predators are 100% taking Jones, otherwise I would move up for him.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Jim Rutherford says Hurricanes are not actively shopping Jeff Skinner but would have to at least consider a significant offer for him.

And give up what?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

And give up what?

He's a top draft pick! the whole team!

 

[BroadwayHustle]

Well I mean if it was rumored of Staal for #5 something around that. Otherwise I really did not want to do anything this draft or free agency and wait. I really don't want to trade Staal either to make it clear, I am not apart of the group of people who just want to make a trade........sooo bad wording in that post. It should have said if we were moving Staal

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Bickell gets 4 years/$16M.

 

[The Gloaming]

Bickell gets 4 years/$16M.

****ing terrible.

Although he's proven himself on Chicago, so maybe it's not that bad.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Honestly, as crazy as it sounds, that is a bit of a hometown discount.

I think he could have gotten more, maybe even an extra year on the open market.
