Speculation: 2024 Offseason Talk

[starsfan86]

Outright? probably not, but probably back to competing for a Wild Card spot.
It's not like Utah, Chicago, Minnesota project to be a lot better.
So we only have to worry about falling so far as to be passed by STL/Minnesota.

It'll depend on what d-core we roll out.
If Suter is playing a top 4 role, which as of right now he would be.
Yeah we'll be in deep shit

Yeah I meant we will not be a Stanley cup favorite anymore if we don’t address a few things.

I wasn't expecting them to be anyway. That's why I bitched so much that all Nill did was Tanev, this was the best year to go all in and he played it to conservative

 

[starsfan86]

We are the odds on favorite to win the cup, per Vegas who knows a lot, before any moves.

Come on people. Have a little faith.

I’ll have faith once Nill signs the players we need

 

[Dallasman]

Have a feeling Tanev goes to FA.

 

[M88K]

he'd be dumb not to. He's going to get paid a ton.

 

[Dallasman]

Yup. RHD FA.

Big demand.

 

[Magic Mittens]

We still have a solid core, just need to add the D. We may not finish first in the west, but I don't think we'll be a wild card team.

I'll wait awhile before I decide where this team is at. Lots of offseason to go

 

[too374]

Tanev is 35 and has a long injury history. With the market the way it is, and the cap hit he would demand, I bet any team that will sign him will regret it later. He should go get his bag.

Losing 50g and likely a garbage d-core. and you don't think those together would amount to a 15p drop in the standings?
Our injury luck is also going to run out some point.

Hell Suter playing in the top 4 alone probably counts for us losing 10 games more than he cost us this year just by himself

I totally get that. 100% agree. Who do we acquire to replace him though? Do we want to roll with
Harley-Miro
Lindell-Bicshel
Suter-Nils?

If the coaching staff can be convinced to let nils to play through his mistakes, and he can actually grow into the role, it's the best long term option. He is an rfa and even if he has a decent season his previous form will lower his salary demands going forward. I do think there are a couple of less flashy fa options that people don't talk about here, oel, dumba(I know), carrier ect.

I'm also of the mind suter must be bought out. I've been a defender of his in the past but he, like pavelski, really looked dead after a full season. The buyout math did not add up in previous seasons but does now.

Obviously, we need to replace those goals/points, but we haven't even started free agency, so hard to judge right now. We seemed to play more of an offensive game last season, and maybe this upcoming season the Stars play a little more defensive. Or maybe out top two lines get more ice time this season than last year.

It's not like we were in the middle of the pack for goals scored at least.

Every team besides Vegas, could be screwed by injuries

 

[Dallasman]

There's something coming down in the next few days. Can't say names as I wasn't told but expect something.

Just heard from source

Are you talking about a trade, a signing? Someone getting bought out?

 

[Dallasman]

You will have to wait and see.

 

[starsfan86]

You will have to wait and see.

A sign and trade with a buyout

 

[Magic Mittens]

I'm going to guess a trade

 

[ElGuapo]

McDavid retained for Hintz and a 4th.

 

[too374]

tanev rights for a late round pick. A jim nill blockbuster

Your source technically isn't wrong. Rumor has it we will be drafting some new players in the next few days

We're reaching new levels of vague

 

[Dallasman]

I'll just say a lot of people will be happy with what's happening.

 

[Zrhutch]

I'll just say a lot of people will be happy with what's happening.

Does our front office happen to read trade proposals for decent RHDs from idiots like me or is it a Suter buyout

 

[Kcb12345]

I'll just say a lot of people will be happy with what's happening.

But you weren't told names so how do you know
