To add onto the thought we arent in serious contention for a big UFA, Chip said we do not have any face-to-face set up with any UFAs. Waddell has called half a dozen.

Canes twitter has me muted because of my consistent request for them to do something during December.

It might've been LeBrun's article today that mentioned a lot of players feel that in person visits are overrated. Unless you are desperate to be wined and dined, they've all been everywhere in the league and most of the questions and visions can be accomplished on a conference call. Not saying we're in a big dog, but it doesn't have to be small potatoes either.

I took both of these to the Sharks board and they didn't like either of them much. They like Fleury as a cheap bottom pairing option but not at the price of Labanc. I think they're hurting for top-6 guys as much as we have been and are in compete now mode so not interested in futures. Will be interesting to see how it plays out but they'll have to be creative to not lose anything of value.

I bet they dont like either. I didnt pay premium for Labanc. SJ isnt in position to wait on premium.

There's so much going on, I completely forgot about the Faulk situation.
Svech was an 18-year-old first-year pro. Necas is 20, has played a full year in the top Czech league and a full year in the AHL. The whole point of being patient with Necas was to *not* have to be careful with him when he came up for good.
Yep. I don't think we're players for any big ticket UFAs. I still think our thing is going to be to pounce when a good, young player comes available once the big-ticket guys start signing.

Yep, no need to be "careful" with him.
But "not being careful" and "expecting top 6 production" are different things. By penciling him in on the third line I don't think Kev is saying expect max production. Just that he can hold down a regular third line shift without having to have 90% offensive zone starts against the third pairing.

Exactly. I'd be happy taking on the more expensive dell and dillon to get Labanc. Forsberg doesnt excite me as a backup, in the slightest. He'd be a cheap backup for them or a guy that could be their 3rd. If they sign a veteran for low. Dillon would be an expensive 3rd LHD for us but he would be a solid PK and veteran for us. The fans have to accept that they have to shed things. Unless they sign Meier for a cheap bridge deal (which I dont see how there is anyway they can since other teams have already started calling him) they cant keep Labanc and Meier. To be able to afford all that, McGinn and Fluery would have to go the other way. Also, Darling would have to bought out.

One poster did come back and say that DW (Wilson, not Waddell) would probably take the Fleury+McGinn+2nd/conditional 1st+ BUF 3rd for Dillon and Labanc.

Sounds like vegas has another move coming in few days. May be Gusev's rights.
Columbus made two separate trades with Ottawa at the deadline last season.
This is still a good trade partner for Vegas, being a team out of conference with a stocked cupboard and draft picks to spare.

I don't move a roster player, even a McGinn or Wallmark, for Poolparty. I don't buy that the kid will make the turn.

If we are not above burning bridges and Labanc would go for it an OS would cost less value going back.

I'm assuming we would be interested in Gusev's rights? Where would he slot in; is he a potential top-6 guy?

True. Would he be worth an amount that they wouldn't match though?

Not sure. I think if they match they can't trade him for a year - so it would likely cause them to lose someone else to make space. Considering Meier is their #1 priority and they have to fill 5 forward spots it would put them in a tough position to match.
He's a right shot left wing. Put him opposite Aho from Svech, our left shot right wing, and watch the magic.
