I genuinely would rather have some replacement level $2m UFA than have Nurse at $9m. Nurse might be slightly better but I'd take the worse player + the cap flexibility.
Replacement level dmen actually cost a lot of money. Also, I wouldn't want nurse at 9 either.
Rest easy…sounds like Philly is pushing the hardest for Nurse and he’d be happy to go there.

Re: Nurse apparently Friedge also says he doesn’t know if Nurse would want to stay out west and most of the focus seems to be on Pennsylvania. Doubt we trade for him but if he was retained on enough I wouldn’t hate it, he’s not a bad defenseman IMO just has a bad contract.
A little afraid Pat pivots to Reilly because of how cheap he might be but hope not, don’t love that fit at all. Carlo’s lack of foot speed had me wondering but if they tolerated it with others maybe his contract being an ideal fit wins out.

I think any D we acquire will most likely be RHD. I don’t think adding to the left side is really a priority.
I see a top line LW, RHD, and goalie depth as PV’s main areas of focus.

Well yeah you're definitely right, guys like Ceci get paid. I just meant that I'd prefer whatever bottom of the barrel option.
All the talk has been that Edmonton is desperate to not eat any salary but who knows if they can get away with that.

Others have already said this but I suppose the idea would be to acquire a LHD that gives us flexibility to trade Mintyukov or Zellweger and still have depth on that side.

I really hope you’re not just trolling all of us my friend. I’m choosing to believe right now!

Darnell Nurse is a LHD. This makes no sense at all

I actually won’t doubt if they bring in at least one additional LHD. There aren’t many RHD’s available and the majority of the best FA ones are coming from this team already. I wonder about Brett Kulak as a UFA target, he played the right side a lot in Edmonton, and I wonder about Kaiden Guhle out of Montreal as a trade target, I believe he’s largely played on the right side there as well.
I mean fair. I just feel like refreshing your rebuild on the fly is risky

What happens first, we sign some of our guys? Or a big beeker trade? My guess, a big trade first

Not at all sure he wants to come here but if the ducks do get him it will cost most of the assets needed to get 1-2 RHDs. Pick your poison.

Thought you already knew and were sworn to secrecy…….
Man at this point I would have been happy for a Louis Crevier big RD trade to pair with Zellweger. Any big RD at this point….
Now that many teams made their big moves, it sounds like only the Blues, Canadiens, and Flyers are still interested in Mctavish. If we do move Mctavish we might only be looking at a Parayko+ and probably the latest of their four 1st round picks. I wish it was the 11th because I think Wyatt Cullen would be a nice nostalgic pick and someone that fits our draft preference. Canadiens are likely holding out on offering Hage, and likely offering something around Reinbacher+2nd which would be disappointing. I’m not sure if we would do a 3rd big trade with Philly, but it sounds like they are marketing Risto and Tippett, looking for a 2C.

It absolutely is. Eklund is a known good player, whereas any pick can be a bust. OTOH, maybe they turn it into a home run. Or maybe it just ends up a break even player ... but you had to wait a few more years to get there.
So yeah, there's risk there. And almost certainly pushes their window out a little farther even if it pays off in the long run.
