21/22 Roster Speculation Thread Part VIII

[MarkusKetterer]

But Fiala will also need a contract after this season, he is RFA. Basically, whichever of these three it is, it is obvious that this should be a trade with the signing of a long-term contract.


Looking at the depth of Columbus on RDs this can be a problem, but yes the Peeke would make sense for us.

Yea I was thinking he was older than he was originally. I thought he was 26 or 27, not 23. Other than a severe overpay I can’t see them letting him go.

I suspect there will be pushback on these since there is a lot of people who want perfect rather than done.

We need to embrace the mindset of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the possible.

Cold stove podcast guys say they haven’t heard anything on Olofsson. So it might be coming from outside the org.

Sabres are obviously selling. Says Pysyk is one guy could be traded then resigned. Says they’ve heard the Sabres may use draft capital to buy players with term at deadline. Mention 2nd line forward and RHD. Those are rumors, or inside info. For speculation: They speculated names Laine, Fiala. No D named. Interesting bits.

These guys talking about Laine to Buffalo? First mention is at about 5:45 in.

I hope these guys are right, this team is terrible right now.

What we want: Get actual NHL quality players who don't suck.

What we are going to get: Oloffson traded for 2 3rd rounders.

Yes

No

Because a 1-way offensive winger is what they need?

No, there is a conversation about the top 4 RDs. But we also need help in the top 6 too.

 

[Team Cozens]

Time to get Krebs, Samuelson, Fitzgerald out of here…. Send them back to Rochester. Build a winner in the AHL. Can’t see any development happening with the big club right now. Maybe Cozens as well. He looks lost.

 

[BFLO]

This is a last place roster in a season without a mega tank Arizona

 

[SundherDome]

Eakin @ 50% for Gardiner and Morrow

 

[Fjordsen]

Eakin @ 50% for Gardiner

Perhaps they will accept it.

 

[SundherDome]

I have always like Boeser but is he much of an upgrade on Olofsson?

Night and day. One is not only a competent but a quality ES player both offensively and defensively, and the other only scores on the power play and is a nightmare in his own zone.

Controversial target: DeAngelo. Throw a 4/26 contract at him and see if he bites. I don’t care if you don’t like him. We need players on this team that aren’t inept at every single facet of the game.

I then have a questions with whom will he play in pairs and how will it look like?

You figure that out in training camp and the pre-season. But I’d pair him with Bryson or Kjell 2.0

Dahlin - xxxx
Power - xxxx
Mule/Bryson - ADA

That would be weird, not sure if we need this type of defender when we already have Dalin and Power. Although I have nothing against DeAngelo. Pesce would probably make a lot more sense, but it was hard.

I don't want another head case with questionable morals on the team. I'd be ok with an unstable guy like Lehner if we take care of him but I'm done with the likes of Berglund/Kane/Voynov

 

[Fjordsen]

Fiala + Dumba and find another top 4 RD with more defensive tools.

Minnesota isn't moving both players. More than likely fiala will be moved during the offseason. Dumba will block a trade to Buffalo with 20 team no trades

We'll see

 

[Joseph Nathan]

We'll see

Dumba has become a face of thewild. It's not a we will see. He also has 20 team no trades. So he's not going to say yes to Buffalo trade. Either way, Minnesota is a championship contender and won't trade one of them until offseason

The great franchises only suit up Puritans. That's just a fact.

We just got rid of bad attitudes and you want to bring it back ?
