Speculation: Off-Season 2013 - Part II

[2 Weekes Notice]

How about offer sheeting Ryan McDonagh? He'd be a little cheaper and would cost less in draft picks. We'd still have room to sign a 2C and at that point we'd probably have enough to make the playoffs, making our picks not worth as much.

$1,110,249 or below - No Compensation
Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 - 3rd round pick
Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 - 2nd round pick
Over $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 - 1st round pick, 3rd
Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 - 1st round pick, 2nd, 3rd
Over $6,728,781 To $8,410,976 - Two 1st Round Picks, 2nd, 3rd
Over $8,410,976 - Four 1st Round Picks

Give McDonagh $6 million for 6 years and this team gets a hell of a lot better. No more need for Jones either.

I would lose my **** if we acquired McD. Outstanding player and we took some classes together in college. Would get a sweater for sure.

Sadly I think the Rags would match anything, especially under 6.7.

Exactly. They aren't hurting in the cap space department right now. Good thing for the Lightning is they have $14M coming off the cap over the next 3 years so that bodes well for the future and resigning our young guys. By then, Drouin or Barkov or ? will be coming off their rookie contract.

Bruins are really active right now. Tyler Seguin is one of the players that could be traded. Lightning is one of many teams in the mix.

So much for me doing anything productive today.

Why would Boston want to move him? It'll cost the #3 +, depending on the + I don't know if we should be interested. He's better than Drouin/Barkov now but he really hasn't taken off like he was expected. He also has yet to play C in the NHL so he might not make a good 2C.

I've seen several tweets that mentioning a King's ransom having to come back to the Bruins.

Question is, which King? The King of Sweden would catch a far higher price than the King of Sealand. (I know Sealand is currently ruled by a guy who still considers himself 'prince', but work with me here.)

Not necessarily. They need space to sign Bergeron and Horton.

Not 100 per cent yet but looks like Nathan Horton will NOT be back with BOS. B's talking trade and Tyler Seguin's name has been discussed.

All depends which direction they want to go.

hot off the twitter machine:

Nathan Horton has informed Boston he's moving on and exploring UFA. His UFA rights are now available in trade.

https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/351031255527206913

Horton's agent Paul Krepelka: "Nathan has told BOS he wants to explore free agency. It's not a financial issue, just a decision to move on."

https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/351031748735406080

As has been widely reported, Nathan Horton is headed to free agency. Asking price of 6 years, $6 million per too expensive for #Bruins.

eh, not sure how i feel about seguin. pretty absent performance from these playoffs. then again, us lightning fans know exactly how much of a spark plug he can be (game 2 ECF).

Not in favor of any trade that involves the #3 pick.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

The Bruins board is quite the sight right now. Hedman and the 3rd overall for Seguin, lmao

For what it's worth, as a Bruins fan, the feeling that I got was his European Vacation during the lockout really screwed the kid up... he was pretty good early in the season, but hit some kind of wall late in the year where NOTHING would go in for him.

I didn't think his struggles were related to any lack of effort or lack of willingness to "pay the price" so to speak. I just thought he was putting a lot of pressure on himself and was gripping his stick WAY too hard.

I'm too scared to even peak over there... God speed friend.

 

[dbieon12]

Let's trade for Seguin and sign him to an $85M/11y contract.

The only player we should be pursuing this offseason is Letang. Trade away everything.

#3 (+?) for Kris Letang and rights to Tyler Kennedy? Would that even be possible?

Not to worry, apparently Heddy is too soft and is way overrated.

Is... this... are you serious

As bad as that is the one for Seguin to Calgary for all three of their first rounders + Jankowski is actually worse.

 

[zeykshade]

Seguin isn't worth Hedman alone imo.

 

[dbieon12]

Are we overpaying or underpaying? We have cap space to sign them both from what I've read on here.

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

Oh dear god!

I went back and started from the beginning of that thread.

Clearing room for Stamkos! Or the 3rd and MSL!

They need a new source of drinking water up there, I think there may be a serious problem.

 

[Felonious Python]

Erik Johnson's name I've heard in a couple rumors. One: Johnson and No. 1 for Hedman and No. 3. Sorry, I don't do that if I'm Avs

https://twitter.com/adater/status/351045919812239360

And I doubt that will happen

https://twitter.com/adater/status/351046066776457217

for those not playing along at home, what he's saying is:
To TB: Erik Johnson, #1 pick
To COL: Hedman, #3 pick

If this package happened, then TB would be logically going after Seth Jones. It sounds pretty far fetched IMO, but that's the rumor.

you didnt even the mention the countless stamkos posts.

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

Avs beat writer saying Johnson + 1st overall for Hedman + 3rd overall is possible
