So Yzerman wants the draft changed because he thinks everyone is spying on him. Yet this is his master plan…

Wait what???

 

[Vector]

Is that first part for real?

It’s what Friedman said in the 32 thoughts that proceeded the draft.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

This trade window is going to be nuts, so many teams have money. It's no wonder so many players are wanting to test free agency. Looking back, the Hronek and myers contracts are going to have so much value.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Unless they are dead set on 8 years, it is in Guentzel and Reinhart's best interest to wait until tomorrow. See what else teams are willing to offer.

Guentzel can’t get an 8 year deal now that his rights were traded. Reinhart has until 9:00 pm PST so it seems unlikely at this point.

 

[ChilliBilly]

I actually hope we stand pat. we have to sign a few guys, or bring guys up from abby to get enough contracts, but I would love to have cap space going into the trade deadline so that we can cash in for once.

 

[BWJM]

Tomorrow is looking mighty juicy. Time to get hammered so I pass out early.

 

[nowhereman]

Two way deal, shove in Abbotsford.

Would not surprise me

Taking a page out of the "How to Lose Your Job as a GM in Under 24 Hours" playbook.

My screen time is through the roof refreshing this thread and Twitter any chance I get through the day lol

 

[Tact]

PA is going to be super aggressive tomorrow - I can’t wait

 

[F A N]

Fit as in Tochett wouldn’t play him.

He would if Skinner is scoring goals. Skinner can be a 30+ goal 60+ point player. Suter isn’t going to be one. Hoglander likely won’t be one. Tocchet isn’t a fool. He will work with what he has and he will play Skinner if we acquire him and he’s playing at that 30+ goal 60+ point level.

You're correct. Edited my post.

I think they both go to market. That does not mean either signs here, but we have a good of a shot as anyone. Contending team, beautiful city, American players/Rutherford for Jake, hometown for Sam.

For real, I can't remember the last time this many big names actually tested the market. 9/10 times they just stay where they are.

 

[krutovsdonut]

it came to me while i was mowing the lawn

guentzel to florida and reinhart to tampa.

everybody seethes.

The wild one for me is Reinhart. He just scored the cup winner a few days ago.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Well, hopefully both guentzel and reinhard will prefer vancouver and we can maybe get a bit of a bargain.

 

[krutovsdonut]

no wonder yzerman is rushing to sign kane

lol.

oilers will get skinner 100%. they love skinners.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Well, I think had they lost he was 100% leaving. And with how close they came, maybe he had his mind made up already.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Not that we can afford both, but maybe see who wants to take a shave to live and play in the best city in north america

 

[krutovsdonut]

It does but that’s different from when the 8 year contract window closes.

of course it is. all nhl rules have weird quirks.

 

[Bourdon]

Wonder what Tanev is willing to sign for? Not much talk around him, but obviously he’s going to market?

Serve up that Jake/Tanev dish on a platter Chef!

 

[Kryten]

Quite frankly, the last few months on here have been fun but exhausting. I would love for us to have a good week—and then be able to just relax for a couple months.

f that. We will celly, bicker, do line combos and rosterbate until puck drop

With no Garland and no OEL, we would be able to afford both of them.

I watched a TSN video with Bruce Boudreau where they asked “has Stuart Skinner cemented himself as Canada’s goalie for the 4 Nations Cup”.

We are so f***ed in goal.

A few years ago it was Mackenzie Blackwood. Last year it was Aidan Hill.
