Looks like my mom on the washing machine

and how many years sam?

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I liked Buchnevich as an in-season trade option.

I thought as much when they paid to get rid Hayes they want to compete this year.

I don’t think he’s going to sign with Tampa before the deadline either. He wants to see what UFA has to offer. As EF alluded to—when you are this close, why not see what is out there?

 

[Wisp]

That secondary market that's forming is really intriguing. Nylander II, Boquist, lol Nate Schmidt want to give it a Mulligan?

(Nate Schmidt is going back to Vegas cheap, 100% for sure)

 

[wonton15]

Blake Lizotte is someone I’d look to sign for cheap 4th line depth as LA isn’t retaining him. A bit small but solid defensively and could have untapped potential in Tocchet’s system

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Come lets see some more buyouts, flood the market and wait for the bargains.

Schmidt seemed to hate his time in Vancouver, doubt there’s anything happening there. He seemed to enjoy Vegas and Washington - nice guy, hope he lands somewhere good.

Interested to see who else goes unqualified today. Brannstrom and Nylander are two that surprised me a bit.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Maybe we shouldn’t go after Lomberg in free agency. Guy’s gonna be hung over for the rest of his life after today.

 

[Takumi3000]

Exactly this.

“Missing out” on Tanev, Guentzel, etc should be referred to as “walking away from” because these bidding wars are going to get out of hand in either term or AAV and I don’t care what player you are, if you are overpriced for what you bring, you are detrimental to your team.

Good deals only

Problem is that our contention window may only be about 3 years long. Every year you opt to be passive is another year that is down the drain. There is no guarantee you can get a needle moving player at a fair deal.

Essentially this team is built to win now. We aren’t in a position to be patient or drag our feet. Benning made sure of that.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Podkolzins gotta go this summer

 

[ameselare]

Podkolzins gotta go this summer

Better for him to stay and perform well enough to package in a trade for a big piece during the season

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I’m not as stressed as I thought I would be

Even if they miss out on all the big fishes

That just means they would have around 10m cap space all summer, we know some teams would need to sell their players undervalue over the summer

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Secondary market is always intriguing. Would absolutely look at Boqvist and Nylander.

Schmidt isn't coming back. Would be a shrewd pickup for Edmonton or Toronto though.

Not a huge Liljegren fan - hope we can avoid him.

Anyone know if Pierre-Olivier Joseph got qualified yet? I expect he will given Pittsburgh seems to finally be actively rebuilding, but you never know.

Joseph seems like a guy who will just inevitably be a Canuck at some point given the Pittsburgh connection plus Castonguay was his agent.

If he was on that trajectory sure, but he's not.

 

[krutovsdonut]

for the hopium crowd the main market change i can see midweek was that the canucks opened up enough cap room to sign him and also extended a bunch of people. tampa didn't make their moves until yesterday. so if he was willing to take 8x8 on say tuesday but not on thursday, maybe we influenced that call.

It is looking more promising now than a few days ago - should be some opportunities to flesh out the team's depth if they are able to take a big swing or two on FAs.

 

[credulous]

taylor raddysh wasn't qualified by the blackhawks for arb reasons. he might be a good joshua-esque project on the 4th line

Raddysh likely ends up in Edmonton

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Guentzel-Pettersson-Nylander
Suter-Miller-Boeser
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Podkolzin-Lizotte-Raddysh
Ex: Hoglander

Make it happen Allvin!

I'd take a flyer on him over Ahlex Nylander for sure

Vancouver has been sending cute smiles at Guentzel since last TDL. They’ve been playing the long game.

Tampa just rolled up to the bar at closing time.

 

[Kryten]

I cant get over how bad Carolina has fumbled Guentzel and likely a bunch of their players this offseason
