Nick Bjugstad could be an intriguing option for the bottom six if he's cheap enough. Definitely brings some size and can play centre if need be

It’s pretty obvious he’s going to get hurt in training camp, probably banking on LTIR him

Could be, though I'd imagine they'd want to spend his caphit during free agency

I think he's wanting 1.5-2M

Agreed, though we’ve filled up a lot of that part of the roster already. I’m really disliking the Jarnkrok signing

There's still a couple spots open if Jarnkrok, Kampf, Holmberg and Lafferty are likely the core of the bottom six at the moment

Nothing with Marner?

You kidding yourself if you think they are even considering dealing Marner.

Of the core 4, hes most likely to be here the longest AINEC

Why is that?

That’s true, which is why I said we have a lot of that part filled. 4/6 is a lot.

Potential teams willing to trade for and extend Nylander at a number he likes: Seattle and Nashville

Potential trades involving a William Nylander S&T

Seattle: Bjorkstrand + Oleksiak + Kartye + 24' 1st

Nashville: Matthew Wood + Yaroslav Askarov

You think Nashville is going to pay Nylander more than Forsberg?

Bailey isn’t someone this team needs. He’s not the top six winger he used to be earlier on in his career and his game isn’t really suited for the bottom six especially when we already have Jarnkrok, Kampf and Lafferty there.

We need to add speed with size and physicality. Wood is one name that comes to mind for the fourth line. We need to find another player who can then play with Kampf and Jarnkrok. Comtois wouldn’t be a bad option but ideally someone who’s less of a question mark.

_______ - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Wood - Holmberg - Lafferty

This team needs as many league min players as it possibly can find.

Bailey at a league min contract gives us options and flexibility and the ability to allocate more money on filling a priority.

He’s a year removed from being an above .5 ppg player. You take that at 900k all day, if it doesnt work out its easy to bury/move.

Signing Bailey will only help fill out depth and acquire more expensive talent. It will only help our flexibility, not hinder.

NJ just paid Meier more than Hughes. I don't think teams care too much about that.

A nashville trade would need to include some options to contribute now whith chance to grow.. combinations including tomasino carrier fabbro trenin etc...

Forsbergs locked up so it doesn't matter as long as they have the capspace

 

[Stand Witness]

im gearing up for a Nylander - Schieffele swap or something like that tbh

Indeed they don't, the claim they do is just a weird way to try and justify Marner/Matthews contracts. "They gave JT 11 million.."

I like Scheifele but he is on the wrong side of 30. I'd listen and add if they were willing to add Ehlers.

Do you honestly think Nylander a year away from free agency is going to re-sign long-term in Winnipeg when he has no reason to have any loyalty to them, and they're a team that looks to be on a downward spiral with half their core wanting out?

Winnipeg doesn't make the trade unless Nylander re-signs.

Both are pending UFAs. Winnipeg is shopping Schiefele and apparently not getting many calls.

Trenin
Evangelista/L’Heureaux
Askarkov

For

Nylander

Make it so…

 

[bax]

I’d much rather acciari to reaves.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Not if Kampf is at 2.4

I can't see them being interested tbh.

 

[TMLAM34]

Any deal with Nashville for Nylander needs to include Glass coming our way IMO.

Lindholm would be better

 

[Ziggdiezan]

It would be nice to get a young center as the main piece in a Nylander trade. Play in the 3C spot then move up into the 2C spot perhaps in a few years when JT's deal is up
