Around the NHL 2023-2024

A Capitals beat writer no doubt.

Dizzee writes for the caps?

 

[STL fan in MN]

Word is that the preds are signing Saros to a 8 year 7.5 mil extension. Wonder what happens to Askarov now

That would be stupid.

He should be equipment manager so he can sniff Chuckie Sideburns' jock as much as he wants.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Damn it! When's Game 8???

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Aaron Ekblad on the block.

John Marino as well.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Tanev to Leafs.

J Skinner bought out. Heading to Stars???

Looks like Duchene will stay in Dallas. He’s been stressing family family family first and he was willing to go cheap cuz he has money. I’d expect 3AAV

 

[Thallis]

Skinner on a cheap deal to the Panthers makes way too much sense

 

[tfriede2]

TBL trades 2025 3rd to Canes for rights to Guentzel. I like what TBL are doing to stay competitive

Yeah that’s about what I figured, $3ish mill.

Still think they’ll re-sign Stamkos to a cheap deal, but curious what they’ll do with the cap space if they decide to let him walk.

Suppose it depends on Guentzel’s AAV, but I wonder if signing him takes away all their room to make other moves, or if trading Sergachev opens up space/options…guess they have to re-sign Moser to a new deal as well but looks like they currently have $16.5 in space for Guentzel + Moser + filling out the rest of the roster.

I wonder what Vladi will do. Surely he'd love to stay in Florida, but obviously they can't keep all of their UFAs. Wonder how low he'd be willing to go to stay in Florida, or if not then where will he end up? I'd rather have him than Skinner if I'm Florida.

Friedman said the Lightning were the favorites for Guentzel and looks like he was right. It's like a game of musical chairs of all the players trying to grab one of those highly desired TB and FLA roster spots.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Adam Boqvist on Waivers to be bought out.

Adam Boqvist on Waivers to be bought out.

Nate Schmidt and Brannstrom too. I remember when the latter was a highly touted prospect, though not sure he's the type of player we need.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I’d be interested in Schmidt on a short term deal.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

PKane staying with Wings?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

2 years ago Stars traded a 1st rounder for Nils Lundqvist. Today, at 23 years old, Dallas has decided to not tender him and he will be a UFA. That's gonna be something the stars would want back.

That pick was traded by that Rangers and then turned into Lindstein.

That pick turned into Lindstein, fwiw. I am optimistic he turns out much better, but obviously prospects don't come with guarantees.

Why to to a team that's probably going to make the playoffs and risk ruining your perfect streak?

 

[Spektre]

With 3 years left on his deal, Vegas is reportedly shopping Pietrangelo. I never thought he would play the entire contract for Vegas which makes the entire NMC a moot point.

holy shit, you mean to tell me that the NMC was a total load of bullshit excuse as to why he didn't sign here? What a SURPRISE!

Hopefully their GM knows the details of the contract and would be avoiding a repeat of the Dadonov trade.

I said a couple of weeks ago that they'd probably rather keep Theodore than an aging, fading Petro and looks like that might be the case. It was never only about the NMC despite some people claiming that's the only reason he left St. Louis.

 

[Ranksu]

Champ GM.

It was always f***ing Pejorative Slured to think he left because of a NMC.

Not to mention the fact that the Blues offer was more than fair. Vegas had to overpay to seal the deal and they are finding that out now. Obviously worth it from their perspective since they got a Cup, but it was a foregone conclusion that the back end of that deal would be horrible. I honestly don't think we'd be better off if we'd have re-signed Petro considering the direction our team was headed.

No, we definitely wouldn't have gotten a 2nd cup considering the only time we looked like we could do some damage was because of Binnington and Kadri took care of that. One man wouldn't have changed anything. Especially one that doesn't take over and completely dominate a game.
