Around the NHL 2024 - Offseason Moves

[GeauxPreds1]

I agree on both.

We have seemingly locked Askarov from ever being more than a backup here and Saros has a NMC so i dont blame him or his agent trying to find a place where he can move up.

Also, Buffalo overvaluing McLeod's size

I been wanting savioe since before he was drafted. After UPL played well and since they were probably out of the goalie market I began to give up hope. But with him going to Edmonton there is a chance again since Edmonton is in need of a goalie. I believe savioe will go to the top of our prospects list or 2 or 3 at minimum

Man wouldn’t mind trotz calling Edmonton and offering askarov for savioe. Starting to realize why buffalo is constantly terrible

They just need to tank harder.

I suspect any return for Askarov at this point would be underwhelming. More underwhelming than Savoie, anyway. I also don't think Edmonton wants a goalie that young, they're making moves to win immediately. Yes Savoie is young but I'm guessing they got him with the plan of him playing in Edmonton this year. Askarov is a wild card in that regard and at a position where a Cup contender shouldn't really be going for wild cards.

Hey @Viqsi whqts the deal with Kent Johnson? Where does he fit into the roster with Fantilli and Sillinger being holding down the Center positions?

On the wing, which is where pretty much everyone up here expected him to be. (Also, you forgot Voronkov, but to be fair, everybody forgets he exists. )

If the Preds had the kind of shutdown blueliner to spare needed up here I'd likely have come up with a swap proposal by now, but, alas.

Let me tell you about Lauzon

What if i threw in a slightly used schenn?

nnnnnnnope.

Truthfully, part of why I've hesitated is because up until quite recently I didn't think we could spare Lauzon. Now that Skjei is here I suspect it's doable, but Waddell's first big moves back up at home were basically to throw out most of the Useful Depth for free and so figuring out a good deal just got that much harder.

EDIT: I'll also readily admit that the most likely component would probably be Sillinger, and yet I really don't wanna because I'm in love with the idea of him contrasting with his father by being a lifetime Blue Jacket.

I suppose the only more fitting destination for him would have been Chicago.

19 years, 4 teams, all in the Central.
This was the only move that will allow me to hate on him even more

It still hurts sometimes.

Are there Suter Central Division Tour t-shirts yet?

 

[herzausstein]

I hope the Blues are desperate enough to have to pay him all but the last bonus

 

[Armourboy]

Well the good news is based on what Dallas fans have said, he's not really going to help St. Louis

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Somebody needs to check on Viqsi after that "whopper" Waddell just pulled. I'm concerned for her mental health.

Yeah, not surprised at all that Laine went as purely negative value in that trade.

But if you have a team like Montreal and have both the Cap space an no expectations of competing, it's certainly a worthwhile gamble.

CBJ acquire Harris for a 2nd and give Laine to MTL for future considerations.

Columbus now sits on a mountain of capspace with Sillinger to sign.

Montreal now sits above the cap but has Price to LTIR. So if they want to maximize that benefit they need to add some more. Their forward group is now comprised of such perpetually injured forwards like Laine, Gallagher, Dvorak, Dach, and Anderson.

I haven't called for Waddell to be fired yet. Yet.

Just wait until he picks up Darnell Nurse or somebody like that with all his newfound Cap space. Then the Oilers fend off the St.Louis offersheets.

This post has ensured that when I decide I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.

 

[PredsV82]

Yo, @maplepred did you see what CBJ "got" for Laine plus second? Do you maybe see why everyone crapped on your suggestion that we give them Askarov, Nyqvist
Fabbro and 1st??

 

[BigFatCat999]

If that is the get for Laine, hold on to Askarov till he rots

Laine was damaged goods. Not comparable.
