Salary Cap: 2017-18 Roster Building Thread VI | Contract/FA charts in Post #1 | CAP SET at $75M

[Ogrezilla]

I don't think Eberle is a bad player but I don't think he fixes a thing for the Isles.

depends what they gave for him. He's a solid player. Though he alone certainly won't fix their issues.

 

[SEALBound]

Strome for Eberle so I doubt that takes them out of the Duchene hunt.

 

[Dying Alive]

I don't know what would fix the Isles tbh. They seem like they have a good amount of young talent but they just never seem to be able to put it together.

 

[Iron Tusk]

Strome for Eberle is an excellent deal for the Isles.

 

[Jacob]

Strome sucks.. Terrible trade for Edmonton.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

If they add Duchene or Galcheyuck I think the Isles had themselves a decent summer. Eberle for Strome is a good trade for the Islanders

 

[Ogrezilla]

yeah that trade certainly doesn't take them out of any other trade discussions.

 

[shureshot66]

Vegas ends up with yet another Penguins draft pick. This must be the one they dealt for Hainsey.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Maybe it's just me but I'm not that crazy about Eberle. Decent player but definitely not a star.

But I agree that they didn't give up much to get him, surprised Chiarelli didn't try a little harder to get a D

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Vegas ends up with yet another Penguins draft pick. This must be the one they dealt for Hainsey.

Good trade I guess, they get younger with the swap and happily enjoyed watching Hainsey win the Cup!!!!!

Guentzel (734k) - Crosby (8.7 mil) - Sheary (2 mil)

Hagelin (4 mil) - Malkin (9.5 mil) - Kessel (6.8 mil)

Rust (640k) - Duchene (6 mil) - Hornqvist (4.25)

Wilson (625k) - Rowney (612k) - Archibald (659k)

Kuhn (625k)


Dumoulin (4 mil) - Letang (7.25 mil)

Hainsey (2.5 mil) - Schultz (4.5 mil)

Cole (2.1 mil) - Schlemko (2.1 mil)

Ruhwedel (800k)


Murray (3.75 mil) / Condon (1.25 mil)


Roster size-22
Salary cap-75 mil
Cap hit - 73.395 mil
Cap space - 1.604 mil


Sign Sheary for two years for less money. Then decide who to keep when Guentel and Sprong are off their ELCs. Send Maatta+ out for Duchene. Sounds like Vegas may be willing to move guys like Schlemko. I can't imagine he'll cost that much. And bring Hainsey back on a one or two year deal to rotate with Cole as a 4/5.

 

[davemess]

Trevor van Riemsdyk and a 7th round pick for a 2nd round pick

Sounds like Canes used our 2nd from the Hainsey deal to retool their Dline.

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Knights have 3 picks in the top 15 and 6 in the top 60 I think. Not bad.

I don't think Eberle is that great but they seriously needed to get someone for Tavares. Okposo was only passable, then replaced with Ladd (at least that seemed like the plan). I think they improved today even with Eberle's questionable salary.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

I don't think Eberle is a bad player but I don't think he fixes a thing for the Isles.

He's not a bad player, but you'd think you'd get more from a $6M player

Seriously, if your plan to trade Maatta involves someone like Hainsey then don't ****ing trade him.

 

[Lustaf]

Seems like a solid enough swap for them.

 

[Peat]

That is the best gif I've seen here since Ogrezilla introduced me to the wonders of the Macho Man

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

Ruhwedel (800k)

First off, Ruh probably isn't signing for less than $1M
Secondly, the only way I want Hainsey back is on two conditions

a) He's your 6/7 guy (not 4/5)
b) He signs for $1.5M or less

 

[mpp9]

Do people really think Maatta was a better D-man this postseason than Hainsey? I'm not saying he's a stud, but we just won a Cup with him playing top pairing minutes. Split his minutes with Cole and I have no problem retaining his services.

 

[Malkinstheman]

They could still get Duchene.

 

[Peat]

Do people really think Maatta was a better D-man this postseason than Hainsey? I'm not saying he's a stud, but we just won a Cup with him playing top pairing minutes. Split his minutes with Cole and I have no problem retaining his services.

Not a huge amount in it either way but you'd hope Maatta will get better and you'd bet on Hainsey getting worse.

Plus I'm guessing Hainsey will want a multi-year deal and that should be a really hard no.

 

[Malkinstheman]

And theres more:

 

[DesertPenguin]

Do people really think Maatta was a better D-man this postseason than Hainsey? I'm not saying he's a stud, but we just won a Cup with him playing top pairing minutes. Split his minutes with Cole and I have no problem retaining his services.

Hand-Grenade-Hainsey made it work by playing solid defense, but he is the antithesis of what this team needs on the back end. The Hainsey for Letang swap was the reason we weren't winning the possession and shot quantity battle at all during the playoffs.

 

[Jacob]

And bring Hainsey back on a one or two year deal to rotate with Cole as a 4/5.

Well yeah. You're moving Maatta for a high end piece at a position we have no internal solutions for anytime soon unless Sundqvist takes a big step next season.

Hainsey's been pretty much the same limited player for most of his career. He's still suppressing shots at a top 4 level which is all you really need as a safety valve for Schultz. Or rotate Cole in there. I'd be playing Dumo/Letang 20-25 min. with the other two pairings splitting the rest at ES.
