Speculation: 2024 Offseason Talk

[joshik]

I like Wedge but for 2 mil we can get better backup i think. Also our backup will play like 25 games max i would think so no point in spending too much.

 

[oconnor9sean]

It's really annoying watching all these horrid contracts get dumped and we're still sitting here with Faksa, Marchment and Suter

Marchment is not a bad contract. That's insanity.

Look at the deals being signed (Dakota Joshua, for one) and tell me how you're gonna replace Marchment and his 52 points for 4.5 million.

 

[joshik]

Marchment is not a bad contract. That's insanity.

Not a good one either.

With the crazy prices on ufas lately Marchment is actually decent.

 

[M88K]

Marchment is not a bad contract. That's insanity.

For what he brings he absolutely is.
He produced ok in the regular season this year because Duchene did all the heavy lifting, but he won't be here next year so Marchment is going to look like he does in the PO, which is just slightly more useful than Faksa.

I'll put money down right now that Marchment doesn't hit 50p next season

There's no reasoning with people here. Everyone expects players over the age of 27 to sign 3 year terms and will cry about guys being overpaid by 500k because they would never, ever, ever sign a 30 year old above 4M AAV.

 

[joshik]

Ok i take it back seeing for how much Joshua signed Marchment is a bad contract

 

[Azzuri]

As of right now, don't expect any big splashes in FA or trades.

That may change obviously but yeah...

Team will take a step back next year but signing bad players to long deals is worse. I think there's just not enough good RD to go around the league right now without hurting your team.

 

[Zrhutch]

If you wanna swap Marchment for a RHD on a similar deal- sure, whatever. That’s a good trade. Otherwise, he’s a keeper through term. We’re a pretty spoiled fanbase if we’re lumping him in with Suter and Faksa.

 

[SolidusAKA]

I may have been a little generous with the numbers, lots of team friendliness

Here's a quick reality check for you:

Marchment put up 53 points last year - if you look at players who signed UFA contracts that scored 53 pts +/- 10 pts it averages out to be 5.68M.

Marchment makes 4.5M.

lmao

Ok but how much he scores next season. There was a point where he seemed pretty good and scored a lot but there was a lot of very bad games.

It feels like we are always in talks with the biggest ufas every year

 

[Henderson33]

Only RD I want right now is Marino, and who knows if he's actually even available.

If not him than just wait till the TDL, and hopefully Seattle is out of it and we can snag Larsson.

Are you ok starting the season with this?

Harley-Miro
Lindell-Lundquvist
Bichsel-Petrovic

 

[piqued]

Have we talked at all about Marchessault? That seems like a very Nill thing to do if he can get a bargain and use the weaponized revenge strategy against our rivals

this is a nightmare

 

[joshik]

I think it will be only one of the Nils x Bichsel. Lets annulate the nils trade and get the first back. It was obviously fraud by NYR.

No, when I say "only D I want" i don't literally mean that or nothing. In that scenario sign a cheap(er) option instead of a Tanev/Roy/etc. and then improve it down the line. If Bichsel can play I'd let him but I doubt Jim/PDB want to do that.

I'm not giving out these ridiculous contracts these FAs are getting though.

I’m just saying- if you’re not wanting to sign anyone right now or trade for someone, that’s what the lineup would look like.

I hear ya. Who do you suggest then? I still think Roy would be worth it.

This cant happen or we are back to missing playoffs.

theo lindstein is already better than nils

 

[Kipper 17]

That's exciting but only seems possible if we move out Faksa AND only sign depth D (no top 4). Not signing a top 4 D seems like a big mistake.

 

[joshik]

I heard somewhere carolina is going back on Guenzel and leaving teravainen go.

 

[M88K]

There would need to be other moves (like Marchment) to open up salary in addition to Faksa

 

[Kcb12345]

Joshua hits 30 points for the first time in his career at 28 years old and suddenly he's the most overrated player out there just cause he can also throw his body around.

His contract isn't bad, but idk why people are acting like he's a significantly better player than Marchment. Joshua had a decent run in the playoffs so I guess that's what did it. Seems unlikely he hits that playoff production again
