Speculation: 2024 Offseason Talk

[Ratbath]

Fun to look one year ahead on cap friendly and just see six guys

Nearly 10mil in LTIR money sounds good

I may have missed it trying to go back in the different threads but I am curious as to what the opinion is on Dellandrea for next year? Stars let him go or carve out a bottom 6 role?

@LT smuggled me out of prison, what did I miss

There goes one option. May need to look at the trade market to get another RHD.

 

[starsfan86]

I’d still love to sign Matt Roy. Damn just trade Faksa and buyout Suter so we can have both Tanev and Roy. I really get the feeling we re-sign Duchene cheap and he will be our only fwd signing besides maybe some depth like Smith.

Edit: unless Seguin is out for the year, then we will need another top 6 fwd.

He'll be brought back for cheap. He has no arbitration case. It'll be the same story as this year, competing for time as 4th line wing with whoever else is the 12/13th forward. If he was going to be traded/had any value he would have already been thrown in a deadline deal IMO.

seguin is our stone.

 

[M88K]

seguin is our stone.

Nah we don't want him playing half the year then getting "injured" he needs to miss the entire season then come back for the PO ala Kucherov

 

[piqued]

If Seguin is actually out next season I'd bring back Duchene and move him to wing. Marchment-Bourque-Duchene

 

[Azzuri]

Buried in Sean's piece on Bicshel today was this nugget: Making as much sense as we can of Lian Bichsel's season

Hmmmmmm.

What's surprising about that? That seems like the chalk. Other than Tanev not falling over himself to join Vancouver

 

[BG44]

If you simply give everyone their projected contract, this lineup only leaves $407,092 in cap space. It's not exactly an inspiring off-season.

Robertson-Hintz-Seguin
Benn-Johnston-Stankoven
Marchment-Bourque-Dadonov
Faksa-Steel-Dellandrea
Depth

Lindell-Heiskanen
Harley-Tanev
Suter-Lundqvist
Depth

Oettinger
Backup

Steel: $1.8 million
Dellandrea: $945K
Depth Forward: $775K
Tanev: $4.75 million
Harley: $4 million
Lundqvist: $900K
Depth Defender: $775K
Backup Goalie: $1 million

Guess we’re gonna play 5 d again in the postseason

Suter buyout tho

 

[BG44]

Suter buyout tho

Hopefully, and that's far from a given. Plus, you have to replace Suter. That leaves you very little to improve the Top 9. Maybe you have $1.5 to $2.5 million after replacing Suter.

You'd have $4 million to replace Suter and sign a Top 9 forward.

 

[Troy McClure]

Suter buyout tho

So what's happening here is Shapiro's source is going to have to pretend Suter is still on the roster. They won't tip their hand until it's done.

First we've heard that Dallas is close to re-signing Tanev vs going back to Candada.

 

[too374]

I’d still love to sign Matt Roy.

afpanalytics predicts him getting 4x5.5 prob outside our price range. Frankly Tanev is prob outside of our price range(3x4.7 prediction) and I thing a team might offer him too much, he is 35 signing him long term is risky especially with his injury history.

If Harley signs at 4x2 and bourque(cheap elc) starts, we still need to sign 3 d 3 forwards and a backup goalie with about 11mil in cap. Even if you call up someone cheap from the ahl the will still counts ~1 mil per player. Craig Smith cost 1mil and that was with the flat cap, depth will be looking for slight raises across the league with the cap increase. This cap reality is without signing duchene and tanev.

The seven roster spots are really a minimum of 7 mil committed with replacement level players. we have about 5 mil to work with over those seven roster spots. on defense we are realistically looking at players like oel, dumba, carrier on forwards Duclair, Trenin, perron. and realistically we can only really sign one of them.

pump the breaks is all im saying

 

[Azzuri]

we only have room for one decent addition without a Faksa/Suter dump, correct. Tanev eats the money if we re-sign him, which is more than fine of a addition. ideally we dump Faksa and get a middle 6 forward addition as well.
