Speculation: Armchair GM Thread

I still can't believe they did an 8 yr contract on Saros. I could have lived with 6 yrs, he probably has 4 near peak years. The last 4 on that contract, ouch.

Apparently, Columbus hasn't gotten the offers they want for a one-for-one deal for Jiricek so they're now listening on packages as well.

Fortunately, we could be strong in that category. I also wonder if they'd be interested in Chrona as their goalie pipeline seems pretty bare.

Kemell/Evangelista
Better of the 1sts of VGK/TBL
Chrona

Maybe a Nyquist or Sissons as well?

Too much

 

[Armourboy]

We have Saros until pretty much the whole society has collapsed so I think we'd be fine.

Saros might be good for the first 4 years of that deal. You better have someone ready to transition by year 5 which means you need a couple of prospects working up now.

On the bright side he'll probably be a more effective 5v5 player those last 4 than Stamkos currently is.

f***, that's not bright at all. Nevermind.

I think the 8 years was inevitable. Just how it works with core players these days. That's a major reason a lot of us didn't want him re-signed at all.

Apparently, traded for some guy from Chicago.

Brian Rolston’s kid is the savior.

Makes sense - we lost two bodies in Fabbro and Tomasino, need some depth for Milwaukee. Sounds like he was a healthy scratch for their AHL team.

AHL depth. Gotta backfill the roster decimation that’s happening down there

Trotz purposely did most of the decimating of the NHL roster

Oh yeah - i was being sarcastic

How would the group feel about a change-of-scenery Frost for Novak swap? I think they're similar players and both struggling a bit this season. Frost is RFA at the end of the season, probably similar 2nd line center upside as Novak, though is a bit younger. Philly might like a little sweetener

I’d take a frost for Novak trade in a heartbeat.

How about a Torts for Bruno swap? I might like that better.
