2024-25 RFA UFA speculation/armchair GMing

[lilidk]

I really hope if we resign Kane that we move out Beggren for something else.. Some size and speed in the top 6 in mandatory

If they sign Kane it will be 1-2 years contract, Fabbri will be gone .

 

[RRhoads]

I am thinking 3 years for Kane. The biggest question is how is hip holds up, but he can be LTIRed if it doesn't.

Predictions
- Holl is traded to SJ
- Husso is traded for Gibson
- Fabbri is bought out
- Zadorov is signed
- Stamkos is signed
- Raymond is signed x 7 years
- Seider is signed x 6 years

 

[WaW]

So we presumably cleared Walman for the sake of getting Raymond and Seider's deals done and to get both Stamkos and Guentzel.

Now it looks like we're whiffing on Guentzel, and are trying to acquire f***ing Trouba so that the Rangers can have the space to compete with us to sign Kane and Stamkos and leave us empty handed up front? If anything missing on Guentzel means we have to move off of this stupid Trouba idea, otherwise we're gonna become the laughing stock of the league.

Thats not even considering the question of how many more Copp/Compher/Chiarot/Holl deals would we end up making as an underwhelming plan B?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I never even thought Guentzel was in the realm of possibility. Just think of all the things we are supposedly in on. Rumor mongers just see the cap space and rotate names.

I've literally never heard/seen the Wings connected to Guentzel. What are you talking about?

It was mentioned by one of the big insiders after they made the walman trade

Kane?

Why the hell would TB choose Jake over Stammer? I know he is younger but wtf....

If money available sure but I can see cheaper depth instead

I didn't even want him here TBH. Stammer and Kane back would be enough to get my juices flowing

 

[RedWingzz]

I wouldn't hate a Skinner signing if the Wings strike out on Stamkos and Kane and the contract isn't crazy

I'd be shocked if we don't sign one or the other.

We need Razor and Seider to take team friendly deals. They are both not worth 8M...

why would Seider take less than what Jake Sanderson got?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I'd be shocked if we don't sign one or the other.

He wouldn't I want him to.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Guess we will find out soon here if we are buying anyone out. Campbell woof.

Pre salary cap Rangers is not the team building strategy I'd use.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

I'd be shocked if we don't sign one or the other.

Prepare to be shocked. That's been the Wings MO for the last 10 years: miss out on all the top guys and panic sign middle-tier guys to overpaid contracts.

 

[RedWingzz]

So what you're saying is welcome to the Red Wings Jason Zucker and JVR?

Welcome home Bertuzzi.

Doesn’t look like holl is getting bought out

 

[TCNorthstars]

Doesn’t look like holl is getting bought out

Why doesn’t it look like it? Don’t they have until 5 or something?

 

[datsyukfan]

Why doesn’t it look like it? Don’t they have until 5 or something?

Oh maybe I thought it was noon but I could be wrong

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Why doesn’t it look like it? Don’t they have until 5 or something?

Why would you waive Holl, Yzerman needs to field a full defense next year.

Seider-AlJo
Petry-Chiarot
Holl-Maatta

Husso
Lyon

Bing bong, 1OA pick secured.

 

[datsyukfan]

Why doesn’t it look like it? Don’t they have until 5 or something?

You are right it is 5pm just looked on cap friendly

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

I'm surprised we haven't seen any DRW waived...

We can't get better w/o cap space and now post draft, teams are looking less at draft picks for cap dumps
