Schmidt only played the right side in Vegas with Mcnabb. I love Schmidt but I'm not sure there is a great fit here pairing wise. His game hasn't been the same since Vegas and is probably better suited for a 3rd pair role.

I have no interest in Pesce, just reeks to me of a contract that will become horrendous in ~3 years.
I would rather get a middle-of-the-pack or even budget player who ties us over until better options are available then get stuck in a bad contract.

That's pretty interesting because there had been rumors around that that's what Tampa was trying to do with Stamkos and another rumor that's what the Leafs were going to offer Tanev. Hope the league cuts this shit off now.

Are you sponsored? You throw around the word "soft" like you get paid a dollar every time you say it.
How do you prove intent though? Stamkos may well intend on playing til he is 40. Just seems like a slippery slope unless perhaps it involves a player on record saying they don't plan on playing long enough to fulfill the contract.

I think the idea is they are threatening to crack down on approving the so called injury that ends their career on LTIR. Like suddenly becoming allergic to your equipment?
It's also what NYI did with Mayfield last year. Tampa also reportedly offered Killorn a similar deal.
Here's my guess for the next few days:
Roy (5 x 6.5 mil) - My thoughts are that he'd love to keep his life, house, etc... in SoCal and the Ducks will offer a big contract. Fits need and makes sense
Marsh (3 x 7 mil) or Stamkos (3 x 8 mil) - Both make sense for obvious need and the Ducks have the cap space
Gibson (trade) - I'm thinking they have a deal already set with Detroit and they are waiting for the retention spot to open up. Husso would obviously come back and something else to make the trade worth it
Kakko (trade) - Probably won't happen but there was interest before and he makes me think of Silf. I like that type of player

This would practically be my dream offseason.
I echo your thoughts on Gibson. There was too much smoke there early last week for something not to come of it.

I mean how does that line up even look(assuming marsh)
Gauthier Carlsson Marsh
Vatrano McTavish Terry
Killorn Zegras Kakko
Johnston Strome Leason
Fowler Lacombe/Luneau/Lindstrom
Mintyukov Roy
Zellweger Gudas
Dostal/ Husso? Keep the 6 dmen in between 19-23 mins, dont really overwork any pairing.
That's pretty much how I imagined it. As long as everyone is healthy, should be a better team.

Kind of surprised, to be honest, but definitely not mad. Hopefully he’ll flourish in a fourth line role.
I like that. Lundy needs to prove his worth and I am still a firm believer he will carve out a nice career as a third-line shutdown player.

Prefer Leason, hope this doesn’t mean he’s gone.

The silence around Roy has been pretty interesting. That honestly is probably a good sign when it comes to our chances at him.

If we don’t sign a FA RHD, Lindstrom is a must.
