Value of: Devante Smith-Pelly

[HarvP19]

I just found out this guy did not get a Qualifying offer.

How big of a contract can this guy get. Seems like a guy benning would target.

1year 1 way 950k

Sounds about right. Maybe 975k.

It does. Canucks are soft and small for the division. They have to address that if they expect Sedin production.

 

[VanJack]

Tough year for him...was apparently crushed when the Habs dealt him, and now a goal-starved team like the Devils, don't even qualify him....guy got 13 points in 18 games down the stretch...he'll catch on somewhere as a third-fourth line type.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Surprised they didn't qualify him

 

[Group Chat Legend*]

Devils didnt qualify because they are confident they will get him signed.

Dont think he hits the market unless we get a guy like Okposo

Lol you always qualify a guy you want to keep. That's the most stupid thing I've read in a while.

False. Teams may want him, but think that he is worse than his QO. Perfectly reasonable.

See Etem's shiny new contract

Ottawa should be all over this. Chiasson replacement.

 

[koalabear9301]

Would not mind him to replace Michael Latta.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Would like to see him in our bottom 6

Too many players, not enough room. I'd rather see what shosh, leipsic, and brown can do

 

[ashnathan]

Can see Boston having him.

Or the team thinks that arbitration is riskier than free agency and is willing to keep player only on reasonable term.

Err what?

Option 1: Qualify him and still have confidence you can re-sign him. If not, at least trade his rights.

Option 2: Don't qualify him and you have like 1 day to re-sign him or you lose him for nothing.

How is that even a question.

Anaheim, Montreal and New Jersey all wanted DSP to be a Power Forward/Grinder. DSP wants to be a finesse player which he is not. Three NHL teams in three years says "bust".

This isn't NHL 16. There are reasons not to qualify someone. See some of the other great replies in here.

Dsp didn't bust in NJ. They didn't qualify him because they didn't want dsp to have arbitration rights. Ray Shero is confident that a deal will be done.
