define, 'hold.'

i'm ready to sign if that means the $$$ i think it does.

I may or may not have been a RH PKing defender when I played in the highly prestigious HISHL (Houston HS League)

Where do I sign? Someone get me on the phone with Jimmy

Ilya Lyubushkin

Well that would certainly be straight up cloning Hakanpaa but you're right, it's a name that fits the criteria

A nice start in some real research. It would be helpful if someone who knows adds what level and type of D they are, i.e., 1,2, or 3 pair, L vs R, Shutdown vs Puck carrier.

Adam Larsson is the dream for me.

Haven't watched Seattle much this year but he was awesome for them in the playoffs last year. $4.0mil + another year means he's going to cost a bit, but could be so worth it.

I'll settle for Tanev though.

Alright, here's the list again but sorted into tiers based on my own personal opinion

Legit top pair on a contender
Matt Roy

2nd pair
Sean Walker
Rasmus Andersson
Adam Larsson
Chris Tanev

3rd pair
Brett Pesce
David Savard
Nick Jensen

Fringe
Ilya Lyubushkin
Andrew Peeke
Adam Boqvist
Tyson Barrie

[catters078]

I'm not there with you all on Matt Roy.

Larsson, Andersson, Tanev the ones I think would make Dallas better

 

[Azzuri]

As someone who lives in Seattle and watches the Kraken a lot, Laarson would be a perfect fit on this team. Doubt Seattle trades him though.

Seattle has been very hot the last couple months. I honestly would be surprised to see them miss the playoffs with their current play. Can't see Larsson going anywhere, as badly as I would love for it to happen.

I'd probably put Roy in tier 2 and Andersson/Larsson in tier 1, but the rest I totally agree with.

 

[Satan]

Rasmus Andersson....... abso lutely

 

[roryjones]

Would y’all move Stankoven+ for andersson?

 

[LT]

Would y’all move Stankoven+ for andersson?

No. I don't think the org is going to move Stankoven unless we're getting a legitimate immediate franchise player back.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Would y’all move Stankoven+ for andersson?

Stankoven plus? What?!

 

[redbeardtx]

Would y’all move Stankoven+ for andersson?

f*** no

 

[David Castillo]

The lack of Matt Roy respect is nuts. I'm worried Larsson is like Jeff Petry: a defensemen who deserved more respect in his prime, but is finally being valued now that his value is declining.

Only player I don't see listed that I think is worth consideration (term notwithstanding) is Radko Gudas.

 

[TangoMcBride]

Would y’all move Stankoven+ for andersson?

No but I'd do Bourque and Lundkvist.

 

[joshik]

No but I'd do Bourque and Lundkvist.

Take 3 lunkvists but dont touch my Bourque.

Absolutely, I just didn't put him because I don't believe he is available. Anaheim loves him.

Andersson is the best player in this list,

 

[Zrhutch]

Was digging into the numbers and I’m a little concerned with what we’ll have to give up in the market this year. If you’re not moving Bourque, Bichsel, or Stank, unless I’m missing something the rest of the pool rests somewhere between meh and dogshit. You’re not gonna get much for any of them barring adding a high pick or an nhl option like Delly or Nils.

I'd have no issue trading Bichsel for Andersson or Hanafin(Provided he comes with ext), Especially Andersson with him being a right shot guy.
Top pairing capable Right hander, that's only 27, would be a great add for this team.
Ideally you're trying to make it happen around Nils instead, but the only prospect I would 100% rule out moving is Stankoven.

Based on Nill's Deadline history, he'll stick to his timid approach, so we're probably going to get a #5, who can masquerade as a #4, but shouldn't really be playing that role.
