Rumor: 2022-2022 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part 14: Sakic goes back to bed

[The Kingslayer]

With existing cap and Landy and Girard on LTIR can't they add Kane with no retention at this point?

Now's not the time to be dumping legit NHL level players for cap space.

Have girard and landy been placed on LTIR?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I am not liking Joe hanging onto prospects he isn’t going to use. If Kaut and Bowers aren’t going to get a chance move them

 

[xbestboybandever]

Not really. He is a replacement level 4th liner

Isn’t that, by definition, a bottom 6 player?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

JTC with 1 year left at 3.5 would not be hard to move in the offseason if they need to.

Don't you mean "if they WANT to"?

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Have girard and landy been placed on LTIR?

I think they can be placed on LTIR retroactively if the cap relief is needed.

 

[xbestboybandever]

Nico Sturm doesn’t set us apart from any of the other contenders. Calgarys bottom 6 would have their way with us too. Playoffs is a different beast.

I enjoy when people tell me the playoffs are different… as though I haven’t watched hockey my entire life nor that I continue to play to this day.

You can equate a "replacement level" player as an AHL lifer, AKA not an NHL'er. Dime a dozen players

I'm guessing no Avalanche rumors today? Skimming through the thread I don't see any.

 

[hughdreamz]

So no Donskoi

Heavily in on Copp

Sakic is clearly not done at this deadline. He hasn't worked to accrue $3m in deadline capspace to just not use it. He's doing the right thing and letting the forward market settle down, because prices will be better in the last 24 hours than before that as sellers start to take deals on the table instead of holding out for their higher asking prices.

I wonder if there was interest in Domi because that is something that might involve Compher going the other way.

 

[Metallo]

Dater is stirring

Donskoi is big?

Apparently they are done because they announced a press conference for AFTER the TDL.

 

[Richard88]

If I were to guess I think Sakic's plan for the next 24 hours is something like this:

1. Add a 3rd line forward. Targets being something like: Copp > Domi > Nick Paul > Motte > Namestnikov.

2. Once #1 is done, focus on adding a cheap 3rd goalie.

3. If there's capspace left over after #1 and #2, look for moves to squeeze out value around the edge of the roster. For example something like NAK+ for Clutterbuck or Parise.

4. After the NHL roster is set, explore prospect swap deals involving Bowers or Kaut.

Uh huh… so can you tell me who this game breaking 4th line player is.

Also, since his first pro season Sturm has spent the entire time in the NHL. So, not really a career AHLer

 

[Raucherhusten]

All this shitting on JTC need to stop.

He's a legit NHL'er who's making too much money for what he brings. So what?

An upgrade would be nice, sure. But it's not the end of the world if he stays.

Maybe its because he's talking with the less sexy nhl markets like Columbus or Winnipeg?

JTC will be in the package if this is the case, otherwise there is no chance we will be able to absorb a 10.5M cap hit for Kane next season

You might want to buckle your seat belt then.

When it's silent like this, this is the time Joe strikes

Maybe Joe has a noise phobia. He goes into hiding when it is noisy.

Silent but deadly

Donskoi is big?

I mean….why do you think we call him Dong?
