Speculation: Call your shot. Who goes where and for how much?

[The Trash Man]

Evander Kane to Edmonton 2.65 mil

 

[Ace]

You can’t really get too outlandish with numbers. Teams have money to spend with the rising cap and the UFA class is…what it is. During the playoffs The Athletic podcast was talking about Beck Malenstyn…good 4th liner…kills penalties…hits everything…blocks a ton of shots…and they said he would sign a deal that would make people do a triple take. Teams were monitoring him because of Buffalo’s possible cap crunch and they need to spend money somewhere. Now…Tuch and Byram going out meant no cap crunch and Malenstyn leveraged it into six year term with a million dollar per year raise and some trade protections. And I genuinely believe he’d have gotten a higher AAV, but not the term, if he hit free agency.

That’s how not conservative you can be about these upcoming contracts.

 

[Ararana]

Drouin to Colorado 1 year 2.5 million

 

[BlueBaron]

Leafs sign Kane, Jenner, Arvidsson, Bob.

You'd need each to sign for about 5 mil, Seems a stretch

 

[KingsHockey24]

No chance in hell he moves his family that far for 2 years

If that’s the case you can quote this when he doesn’t but I think he does

 

[The don godfather]

Trouba or Rasmus to Boston.

 

[Rebels57]

He has sons aged 7 and 2, hes from Ottawa and his wifes from Philly. Just dont see it, but we shall see.

Retire in Sunny California, Peter Laviolette, Kings need someone to win face-offs, plenty of cap space.

Makes sense as a stop gap to me.

The Lavy connection is a good point.

 

[Squirrel in the Hole]

Someone is going to severely over pay Anthony Mantha

I pity the fool

 

[Sheppy]

Trouba to Boston 5x$7.25M

 

[Unspecified]

Robertson gets an offer sheet from Chicago and Dallas doesn't match it.

Werenski gets traded to Dallas for Harley+Bourque+Emil Hemming+2027 1st

 

[Sparksrus3]

Call your shot

Who goes where for how much? the moment the window open there will be signings so trying to guess which gets announced first will be a dead heat

Too old and too slow gets too many years for way too much money


With that said Trouba to Long Island 3 x 7.5

 

[The don godfather]

Trouba to Boston 5x$7.25M

Good call Shep I think you win the kfc bucket tomorrow.

2011 was a worse UFA class. I am a Sabres fan so I remember this very well. Ville Leino was not overpaid by Buffalo and got paid what everyone was projecting he would get paid. It was just a horrible FA class. And a cautionary tale for this year.

2016 was pretty rough, too.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Blueger to NYR.

3 years, $7.5 million.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Any team seriously interested in improving should be looking at offersheets.

 

[shadow1]

Giroux to Colorado, 1x$2M.

• Up to $2.5M in performance bonuses ($2M at 10gp, $500K if Colorado makes WCF).

 

[sampollock]

What are Leaf fans going to say when they sign Bobo the Wonder goalie out of Florida??

 

[sd1976]

You'd need each to sign for about 5 mil, Seems a stretch

Kane 4.5
Arvidson 5.5
Jenner 5.5

Bob, I would let go somewhere else anyways. But if they sign him they probably trade Stolarz and run with Hidelby.

 

[WSS11]

There’s going to be a ton of bad contracts handed out tomorrow lol. I hope Grier stays quiet for the most part

 

[nogatco rd]

Ovechkin to Florida, 1 year, 1 million.

Hell be back with the caps this year. In 2027-28 he’ll be a Hab

 

[Schennanigans]

Chicago looks like a pretty desperate team. Won’t be surprised if they are very busy. Some teams are gonna make some big mistakes on a bad FA class. I’d like to see Kane go to Toronto or Buffalo. Toronto seems primed to make a mistake on bob.

 

[flywithme]

When I read this, all I could see in my mind was the "There was a FIFEFIGHT!!" scene from Boondock Saints lol

The best scene in that movie. Gotta love it.

 

[Riptide]

I've said this before. I think when [edit]tomorrow[/edit] is said and done, that Ryan Shea (I'm guessing 5x3.75m) will be one of the better signings made tomorrow (those with term).
