Speculation: 2024 Offseason Talk

[ElGuapo]

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

But you said even you don't know what it is so how do you know that a lot of people will be happy?

 

[Dallasman]

Got a little more out of my source.

I know the name now. And yes, I know people will be happy.

I can't divulge everything I'm being told but I share what I can. Don't want to lose what I'm getting,

Makar and Miro is gong to be such a great pairing.

i'm not really sure what the point is of telling us you know something but can't tell us.

 

[starsfan86]

He’s just saying we will be happy with what he’s hearing.

 

[Dallasman]

Haha! Okay @eartotheground, I can stop.

I was asked not to say a name but was told something is coming down the pipe.

 

[piqued]

I almost wonder if it could be something like signing WJ to a longterm team-friendly megadeal in the vein of the Miro contract.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Haha! Okay @eartotheground, I can stop.

It's all good dude. Hearing something good will happen is all I need to know

 

[eartotheground]

nah you're good man. wasn't sure if we're supposed to guess, but hey just knowing something good is coming is nice.

Hopefully that’s not it, that would be boring lol

As a reminder, the buyout window runs from Thursday to Sunday.

why is Thursday so damn far away...

 

[piqued]

I guess, but in terms of the biggest positive impact you could make on the future of the franchise...

That Miro deal already looks like it was written on golden tablets from the heavens. It gives the Stars a huge competitive advantage. Yet is hardly talked about.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Is there any scenario where Nill trades Lindell for a RHD to play with Miro, and then signs Tanev and he plays with Harley? For example, Washington could use a top 4 LHD, so you could do something like Jensen for Lindell. Not saying this is a fair trade, but just an example.

Even Jersey is loaded with RHD, could try Lindell for Marino.

Miro - trade
Harley - Tanev

Would be nice if we could get Marino and keep Lindell though

 

[BG44]

Lindell has a full NMC.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Lindell has a full NMC.

well, nvm then!

Trading Faksa for a bottom pair RHD like Savard would also be another idea. Who knows if Montreal would do that, probably not. Also, would require Faksa waiving for Montreal

 

[Dallasman]

I believe Faksa's NMC is limited to 5 teams,

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

If the news is that something is coming in the next few days, I suspect it is a signing before the UFA period begins, and probably Tanev. My crystal ball is always a bit cloudy, but I doubt it is a surprise out of nowhere, like trading all 3 or our draft picks for an established player or something.

Honestly, it would be tempting to do that and skip the draft entirely with the few picks we have.

 

[Arkham32]

Has to either be a Suter buyout or a Tanev resigning. I'm leaning toward Suter buyout since thats more of a gurnatee you can make a few days prior compared to having a deal in place with Tanev and waiting days to announce it for no reason.

 

[LT]

As a reminder, the buyout window runs from Thursday to Sunday.

Will be interesting to see if GMs strike early to clear room for moves at the draft, or wait until afterward to see if a trade at the draft can be arranged instead of a buyout.

Walman just required a 2nd to be dumped, he's at 3.4M per for 2 more years.

Imagine that means it'd cost at least a 3rd to move Faksa.

But Goodrow required nothing. Weird

Do it.

i don't know that i would use this as a baseline. Something has to be up with Walman outside of just hockey, to have that much negative value

Red Wings fans seem to agree with you. Seems like something is up behind the scenes, because they don't seem to understand the deal either otherwise.
