Stamkos to the ducks is a really high probability
I'd rather have Cutter taking those one timers on the PP, being fed from Z or Leo.

100% agree... BUT I think bringing in that personality would be huge for the culture.I'd rather have Cutter taking those one timers on the PP, being fed from Z or Leo.
Speaking of bringing in a personality that will effect the culture. f*** that. Never seen a player this good get bought out for personality issues twice in 3 years lol. If I had a list of players I would not want near the Ducks he might be literally number 1.For some reason, I’m thinking PV might take a chance on DeAngelo.

Says who?
Again it depends on the deal, and I think he will command a lot and will want term. I just want our kids to start producing more. Vatrano is awesome don't get me wrong, but I would have loved for someone like Mac, Z or Leo putting up those PP numbers, Frankie did.
Obviously injuries had a factor in that as well with their reduced time. So it was hard to really judge. I was disappointed anytime they started the vet unit over the kids one. I get Cronin and co are trying to win games, but player development is important for a team that is rebuilding.
Isn't he bad defensively? I don't see him fit the Pats mold at all actuallyFor some reason, I’m thinking PV might take a chance on DeAngelo.

Ya idk where this idea even came upIsn't he bad defensively? I don't see him fit the Pats mold at all actually

I would rather have Stamkos on a powerplay than Gauthier
It’s not a knock on CG, but Stamkos is such a weapon
Who better to help him learn how to do it in the NHL than Stamkos?My point is we are not a contender, it’s more about building and developing our kids. I don’t want to see ice time taken away from them to a guy who will be 35 yo next year.

How long does a guy under 30 still fit the contending window? Problem with guys under 30 is they want term which blocks the kids longer assuming the vet remains viable. Stamkos, theoretically should require less term which allows for a natural succession vs guys being asked to do too much too early. Stamkos also gives us a short term Captain with again a natural succession to one of the top kids.Can we add someone under 30 yo? That fits our contending window?

His pedigree is not going to make him available on some one or two year cheap deal. And you don’t just hand the captain responsibility to a guy who’s never played a game for you regardless of his past experience.How long does a guy under 30 still fit the contending window?

He’s made a ton of money already. He isn’t going to finish his career in a dumpster fire like this for some short term overpay.
Did i say 1 or 2 year deal? I have a hard time seeing any deal over 4 years. R year deal gets you 2 years where Stamkos is still the guy teaching the kids and then 2 years where presumably the kids overtake him. I'd prefer 3 years sure. Do you see him getting more term than that?His pedigree is not going to make him available on some one or two year cheap deal.

Stamkos was 3rd in the league with 19 PPG. Gauthier can play on the 2nd unit and learn from him, because there’s a close to 0% chance he’s gonna manage that next year. The top rookie this year had 6, Bedard had 4. Top production for rookies the last three years was Zegras with 9 and McTavish with 7.
Then he can learn how not to play defense from Stamkos at ES. Yikes.

Yeah that is the concern, sure he’d be a great add, but the cost may be more than what Verbeek wants. If we are going to go big, would try to get Reinhart but that’s a pipe dream. I think our price range is maybe like a DeBrusk, who I would love to add. Only issue is he is a LW, but think he can play both sides.
You know how stringent Verbeek is on putting players on their shooting side. That's part of the reason why he's looking for a top-4RD instead of letting LD Zell play at RD, presuming that Luneau is playing RD at the NHL club next season.
