Me too. Geekie will be very good in the NHL and I'm not even sure I'd have liked the trade if you take him out. Sergachev is great for stretches but is a complimentary player in general.

I disagree that he's a complimentary player, but the price is too high for a guy coming off major surgery. I think he's a 1B capable of anchoring a soso top pair.
My question now if Guentzel is leaving Carolina hanging, is whether we should trade for his rights and give him 8 with a lower aav, I feel Tampa is going all out to get him and Hankinson will use them to drive the aav higher knowing we have the space.
agree. i have zero idea about whether geekie will make it or not (although he obviously has good production), but the gap between moser and sergachev is not that large, especially with sergachev's injury history and taking contracts into consideration.
i don't hate that a team in their position is gunning for premier talent to surround the young corps with, though. just not sure it's the right bet.
That is not the case though from everything that I have seen. They will have a name but this relocation is fast and they wanted fan involvement etc. And he’ll in the end FC works in soccer so not sure why it can’t for hockey.

Don't know if it's mentioned anywhere, but when Conroy selected Parekh, I only wondered how quickly Brzustewicz called his agent.
Insane trade to me when factoring in contracts. Moser is a fantastic player.
someone else made this point; but what happens if they win the cup this year? utah hockey club and then a re-brand the following season?
no other sport would've allowed the coyotes situation to decline for so long, and then suddenly pulled the trigger on a half-baked idea.

TB does it again, and other teams just keep bailing them out. What else is new?
Utah has been sitting on a treasure trove of picks and prospects for years. Arizona lost their hockey team partly due to these shenanigans but Utah is already reaping the benefits. They can acquire some fantastic players and have already started to drive up the prices in the market for everyone else since they have more capital (draft picks) to work with. With the cap going up and their owner wanting to spend money, they're going to make waves.

Utah is a team to watch in the Western Conference. They've got a flock of good, young forwards. And now Marino and Sergachev really cement the back end. They now just have to find a goaltender.
I actually like the look of their team more than a team like the L.A. Kings, who had a similar prospect pool a few years ago, but basically squandered it.
Looks like Tampa is going to land Guenzel. Impressive few days for them.
I said it yesterday, but Moser is likely the best piece of this deal once he signs a new deal that will be like half of Sergachevs
Honestly I think they let Moser go because they're trying to build a blueline of absolute trees, and he's about 6'1", 185. They did go out and get Marino who isn't a huge guy, but he's signed for 3 more years, which gives their D prospects some time to cook/come over from Russia.
Yes hello excuse me, it's 0942 CET and I require distraction while at work.
Instead I have to wait til after the work day is over and waste MY OWN TIME on free agent happenings.
Shame.

I know @Vector and I have mentioned Kovacevic multiple times. For the price paid, that is an absolute no brainer. Would have liked the Canucks to snake the Devils on him there.
He has some very intriguing micro-stats tracked by Corey Sznajder. Excellent zone entry defense, preventing possession entries with chances and a lot of outright zone denials. I have also harped on the importance of retrievals and clean zone exits, and that's another area he grades out well in.
At the bargain cap hit, it's a missed opportunity IMO.

Brad Treliving has personally given Tanev $45 million dollars in total. I think Tanev owes him a Christmas card!
