Speculation: Roster Building Thread LV: One More Day

[Tob]

Yea shattenkirks buyout is terrible, think the penalty is like 5 million next year. Smiths buyout was the reasonable one

plus i think Kevin can boost up his value at some point of the next 2 years to either be useful or be a good trade piece.

 

[Tob]

 

[Good Intentions]

Islanders will offer more money.

Panarin camp is asking NYR to come up to close the gap.

We close the gap tomorrow AM.

Panarin signs with us.

 

[Tob]

 

[NYR94]

There's a tweet on the free agent frenzy board that says $8-million per year.

EDIT: You got it.

 

[EpicDing]

Have we been connected to any FAs other than Panarin?

 

[Thirty One]

8 mill per for Duchene. Reasonable AF.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

So apparantely Duchene’s cap hit is 8M

How tf did Skinner get 9M? Having-to-play-in-Buffalo tax?

 

[Thirty One]

Have we been connected to any FAs other than Panarin?

Panarin and Mark Letestu. Not sure if it's either/or or they can fit both.

Also Brian Boyle, I guess.

 

[Trxjw]

Pretty reasonable for Duchene. Clearly really wanted to play in Nashville.

Edit: Forgot they have no state tax.

 

[Machinehead]

That's going to be another Johansen for Nashville.

An improvement, but not putting them over the top.

I would take Boyle back, shit.

 

[NYR Viper]

I never said I wanted the Rangers to spend foolishly.

Personally I’m still trading CK.

I was looking at whom the Rangers might pick up for depth or third / fourth line players.

One guy I liked was Donskoi from SJ but he’s priced out.

Colin Wilson is a guy I’ve brought up before.

Brian Boyle. Ryan Hartman. Michael Ferland. Garnet Hathaway

 

[Bob Richards]

$8 million is...............oh wow. I'd be stoked if I was Nashville.

 

[NYR Viper]

8 mill per for Duchene. Reasonable AF.

Yeah that’s not a bad deal. In saying that, does Nashville need to move cap now?

What the hell was Montreal jettisoning cap space for then?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Numerous commentators on NHL Network Radio insisted Duchene was going to hit $10 million per, including Matthew Barnaby. My bad, @pld459666.

 

[Thirty One]

Colin Wilson is a guy I’ve brought up before.

Brian Boyle. Ryan Hartman. Michael Ferland. Garnet Hathaway

Sounds like Hartman's going to Minnesota. Brooks says they're likely not going to go beyond 2 years for non-Panarin, so that would seem to rule out Ferland.

 

[Gardner McKay]

$7.14 for Hayes. 8 for Duchene. L O L

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

8 mill per for Duchene. Reasonable AF.

SIT strikes again

 

[Tob]

Cue Don Cherry on Duchene deal

"Good ol' Canadian boys, Oh, the ah wah ya know bout that Haliburton ONTARIO boy Matt Duchene, son of real estate agent Vince Duchene, signing for a below market value to help the team, them Nashville Predators, boy I tell ya, they're going to try for it again this year David Poile knows what he's doing, long time, well good for them. Let me tell you something and I've been in this business for 60 years, these two greedy Russians holding teams hostage. $12M and they have to play in a big city with well what's the you know big lights, I guarantee ya, whoever gets them is going to regret it because that's not how you build a team. Connor McDavid in Edmonton, best player in the world, Canadian born and raised, leaves $1M off the table to help his team win but Artemiov Panarikov gets $12M a year? Boy, you couldn't be more wrong!"

 

[Thirty One]

Yeah that’s not a bad deal. In saying that, does Nashville need to move cap now?

What the hell was Montreal jettisoning cap space for then?

Anders Lee seems to be the big speculation.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

8 million for Duchene is fair. Not as bad as the speculated 10

Hopefully Panarin isn’t actually 12 million

 

[TheBloodyNine]

8 mill per for Duchene. Reasonable AF.

Yeah seriously. There’s a guy who really wanted to be in Nashville.

 

[NYR Viper]

Sounds like Hartman's going to Minnesota. Brooks says they're likely not going to go beyond 2 years for non-Panarin, so that would seem to rule out Ferland.

Damn I missed the Hartman news. I was hoping they’d snag him as a depth piece

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That's going to be another Johansen for Nashville.

An improvement, but not putting them over the top.

It gives them room to add more guys though.

Like if they wanted to they could fit in Kreider with out retention.
