GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[GeauxPreds1]

Schenn isn’t getting traded. They just re-signed Carrier so he’s not going anywhere either. Moving Fabbro and Glass free up 5 million, leaving 5.5 million n cap space. Of that 5.5 million in cap space, the RFA contracts of Parssinen, Tomasino, Stastney will hit the NHL cap and the RFA contracts of Del Gaizo and Wilsby could possibly hit the NHL cap. So yes mathematically impossible. Trotz isn’t going in to the season with zero cap space left, he’s clearly stated this point.

Yea I don’t think we add any outside players via trade unless they are going to the ahl. Glass and fabbro would be my choice but Novak could also be in there as well due to his cap hit. Another note I don’t want to see Novak on the 2nd line at all. Im just not a big fan of Novak. He just doesn’t bring much to a line if he’s not scoring goals. I just don’t think his 18 and almost 16 shooting percentage will continue.

DeAngelo happens to have supported the wrong political candidate so a good portion of the hockey world (media, journalists, and keyboard warriors) have a bone pick to with him.

I would welcome him to Nashville should he come over

Unsurprising that you like him but he's also no longer an NHL quality player so the point is moot

Anything in hockey can be mathematically possible. Maybe we trade Novak or someone else. Plus Schenn is not untouchable lol. Just my two cents. Nothing is impossible. Plus retention on said new player. Less then 4 million in cap… easy

The thing to keep in mind is that it's not fantasy hockey. The Preds signed Schenn mostly for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with his ability to play hockey. So he's not getting moved, no matter what.

I expect Trotz is "done", save for whatever he has to do to get back under the Cap (throwing away Glass and/or Fabbro). But I'm not really expecting anything else. Just figure out a way to dump a contract or two, that's all we're going to see happen. And it's not going to result in a change to our default opening night lineup either way.

Man, the main boards are infuriating sometimes. Poor little Stevie Stamkos, washed up can't even play without Kucherov with him, can only manage 40 power play points in a season. I guess we could find a spot in our top 6 for him...as a charity.

 

[hido]

Not sure how much this matters, but Schenn (and his wife) heavily recruited Stamkos (and his wife) to come here. Just another reason that I highly doubt Schenn is going anywhere anytime soon.

Yep and if frogs had wings they wouldn’t bump their ass on a he ground when they jump.

Just seems like a shame to have such a stacked roster but garbage RD’s…
I fail to see how a Schenn is untradable but I won’t argue it. I just feel he’s very movable. We have lots of leadership and aren’t reliant on him.

My whole point was @ShagDaddy said it’s “impossible” and that is laughable. It’s very possible but not likely. That’s all

He's not going anywhere because of things outside of his ability to play hockey. It's not impossible that Trotz moves him, but it is highly unlikely considering what Trotz did with McDonagh. We aren't Vegas.

Can we buy LTIR for cap space...?

That's not the way it works. You only get the relief from the contract that is on LTIR not some extra magical amount from out of nowhere.

Outside of his hockey play?
Sorry I’m missing something here. Schenn is untradable? I don’t get it. Just because he’s a vet and played with Stamkos before?

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

If all goes horribly awry this season and the Preds suck, then sure some guys might be tradeable at the TDL. Schenn, Gus. But we have like 8 months before we have any idea if we get there or not. So it’s kinda premature on that side of things.

The main board is filled with butthurt idiots.

You aren't listening or just refuse to comprehend. Schenn was brought here as much for intangibles as his hockey play. Trotz wants him around even if he's scratched frequently. Add to that he and his wife apparently played a key role in convincing Stammer to sign here, and in addition if he sucks that badly who will take him off our hands, and all of this together makes it very unlikely that Trotz moves Schenn.

Finally an answer. Nobody explained that. Didn’t know he helped bring stammer here either. Only gotta say it once my friend.

Just because people don't respond directly to you doesn't mean it wasn't explained by someone else.

Not sure if you have access to X/Twitter but there's a lot of great resources on that platform that give information like this.
