Value of: One Way Ticket for Filip Forsberg out of Nashville

[LeapOnOver]

Don't see LL going after him until the trade deadline, and he's shown two years in a row he won't trade for a guy he can't resign. Can Isles really afford to resign him. Seems like a solid "no" without some serious roster juggling. They'll also have Pulock to renegotiate. So I don't think Isles are a fit for him, however much we could use his offense.

LL may break that mold and go for it, if so we wouldn't be able to give up a top 6 rostered player so probably looking at a 1st in a future draft and Raty (guessing his stock will rise significantly this year).

Tell that to Sharks fans who think Hertl is getting Filip Chytil, Braden Schneider, and an unprotected 1st round pick, at minimum

They would tell you that price was agreed to with a extension being worked. But hey! Being snarky is much more fun

Even with an extension he isn’t worth that

Forsberg: “I have no rush to sign. I mean I still have a full year. I don’t know, I feel like you have to play your contract out. Obviously I have a full year. [...]"

What exactly does he mean by the bolded? If I'm not just reading too much into polite boilerplate.

Like, you have to finish the contract before the next one? Obviously that's not how it goes, extensions are inked all sorts of early. That's a bit curious thing to say there.

[Sorry OP for the slight derail.]

I think it means he wants that sweet UFA money.

 

[KingsHockey24]

He'll by a King by the deadline.

Says every player acquired that came with an extension

Now you're just talking out your other end

Seattle does make sense as a UFA. They should just bide their time on that though. And just throw a nice AAV at him next summer.

For Gabe Vilardi? Lol

Holtz and a 2nd

Done

How close is Forsberg for Jarvis Canes fans? Who adds? Is it just a swap?

I doubt the canes would want to trade Jarvis. If forsberg was to be traded though I would like to see him with canes.

This has been my outlook for a while now. It is puzzling what Poile is actually doing, he has kept the roster just good enough not to land in the top 10 picks, yet not talented enough to compete for even a wildcard. If he was all in on resigning both Ekholm and FF9 it would be done, its not like he does not have the cap room. The roster is full of bottom 6 guys and unproven kids at the NHL level. Josi and Ekholm are the best players on the team Forsberg is a solid forward but has yet to break 70 points. There is also still a question as to his loyalty now since the Jarnkrok trade. By Christmas we will know, and that may well be Poiles plan run in 30 to 40 games see where he is and then complete the burn down of the roster, reguardless your correct this team will not be competitive with the current roster. It is going to be a 4 or 5 year rebuild from the looks of it. Possibly longer with the Duchene and Johansen contracts weighing the team down.

Not talented enough to make the playoffs but somehow almost always makes the playoff

Nick Robertson straight up. Would give the Leafs another wing option to potetntially re-sign if they want to move on from Marner after the season.

Holtz and a 2nd

Wow, you can't be a Devils fan(?)... Holtz and basically a late 1st in a deep draft for a rental that'd be a crazy trade seeing as the Devils aren't close to contending atm.

 

[Gritty]

Forsberg would fit like a glove in Calgary. A topline RHS is one of our biggest needs. We are basically team Sweden with Markstrom, Lindholm, Andersson, Backlund, Kylington in our lineup. Why not add another?

1st 2022 + Zary + Cap dump (Lucic would be in his last season, not longterm)
for
Forsberg

Only way to make the money work in the offseason with big extensions for Johnny and Tkachuk looming. I don't think Nashville would get a better package than that personally.

 

[YP44]

Come sign with you buddy in LA

Rinne is gone, this is a on line team yet again. This team will not make the post season this year.

As if Rinne was the reason they made playoffs last season?

Well He was not a elite tender for the last couple years but the plan in net is a big gamble now. We will know before long. We will know by Thanksgiving.
