Around the NHL 2023-2024

If we are dealing with Ottawa, Pinto should be the target

Some are speculating that the return is so low because he isn't willing to sign an extension, which would make sense. A solid deal for Washington but not sure which roster player we could have given up to convince Ottawa to trade him to us

True but there will be a bidding war for him. Which prospect that will sting to lose do we offer for Pinto?

As for which prospect we would give up its hard to say. But there is going to be a bidding war for every 23 year old player that can become a part of our core, we aren't going to add anyone in that ilk unless we are willing to get uncomfortable.

Totally loving Nashville's offseason, so far. They have several older vets and will have to start making a transition to a younger roster soon, which will happen. They've got three good forward prospects doing very well in Milwaukee (L''Heureux, Kemmel and Svechkov) and all three will be pushing for a roster spot.

Like where they are right now. Well-positioned to be the Central's juggernaut in a few seasons. RyJo's dead cap ends in 2025 and Duchene's big money dead cap ends in 2026.

For sure. If I had to choose, I might trade Snuggerud rather than the other guys but not sure if we should be aiming higher than Pinto if we move him. However I'm not so familiar with Pinto and what his value is.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Bye bye Chandler.

 

[The Note]

Not upset the Blues passed on that Stephenson deal

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Outside of Pesce these deals today are not very appetizing to me.

 

[Xerloris]

Where the f*** are these teams getting infinite cap room?

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

7/$6.25 for Stephenson is atrocious.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Finally the Stars do something. They got Dumba. So now they have a whopping FOUR NHL defensemen.

Sounds like Stars fans are not too keen on Dumba. I haven't kept up with the Wild these last couple seasons. Has his play dropped off that much?

Army is gonna snag someone from one of these teams signing terrible contracts when they realize they are over cap

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I wanted Stephenson but not that bad.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Washington Bought Capfriendly because they knew they are going to go over cap this season and didnt want anyone to know. Lol

 

[ChicagoBlues]

EJ is gonna keep going!!! Warum nicht?

 

[Louie the Blue]

7/$6.25 for Stephenson is atrocious.

Yeah.

I would be very pissed if the Blues signed that contract.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Darn!!! Duclair snagged.

 

[simon IC]

Tanev signed until he's 40. Oof.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

i hate 90% of these contracts, im glad with our timeline we sat this one out.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Dallas scraping up another leftover. Brendan Smith.

Still decent, but they are really swinging and missing.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Darn!!! Duclair snagged.

No desire for a 4 year Duclair signing

 

[ChicagoBlues]

No desire for a 4 year Duclair signing

Duh! Me neither. 2 max

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I forgot how insane some of these free agency deals get

 

[ChicagoBlues]

That's why Dallas had to sign B Smith!!!! Walker just went off the board.

Yo, Sir Mix-a-Lot! Whoo gon git Sprong?!

Something is holding up the Duchene extension. I bet he's asking for 2 years plus movement protection and Nill doesn't want to do it. Duchene might be left without a chair. For now, Dallas' Cup window is closed anyway.

 

[simon IC]

NJ made significant improvements to their D with Pesce and Dillon. Reasonable contracts too. IMO.
