Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LI

[Esa 10]

Barkov is 2 years from UFA. Just sayin'...

Barkov is 2 years from UFA. Just sayin'...

Might as well just put him out to pasture now.

 

[Vitto79]

What about Johansson in NSH? They will likely shake it up

8 million long term so salary needs to go the other way

Barkov is a 1C and Danault is more like a 3C than a 2C. Barkov would be worth almost whatever contract it would take to get him. Danault? Not so much.

 

[Thirty One]

What’s the argument for Danualt being a 3C? I’m not seeing it.

 

[Edge]

Might as well just put him out to pasture now.

We can sign him and then flip him for a high draft pick and prospects the next summer.









Wow....that really hurt to type.....

 

[Fitzy]

You'd think Danault had at least been a Selke finalist...

The highest he finished in the voting was 7th... last year.

Hell Ryan Callahan has had higher Selke results.

 

[Avery16]

What’s the argument for Danualt being a 3C? I’m not seeing it.

He hasn't ever put up great 2C numbers or even ok 2C numbers with regularity?

 

[bobbop]

I'd rather have Domi considering his dad was here. he has more grit is younger and more upside in my opinion. Danault would cost more than he's worth in my opinion.

Danault has much more grit than Domi.

What about Strome straight up for Danault?

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

He hasn't ever put up great 2C numbers or even ok 2C numbers with regularity?

I mean, he's not a 2C like Malkin is a 2C, but he's definitely a 2C like Kevin Hayes is a 2C

 

[Esa 10]

My point is to leave future cap space for a guy like Barkov in case circumstances align like they did with Panarin. He also might be on the market next summer if he doesn't want to resign in Florida.
And Zib will need a big raise the way he's playing. That's why I'd be hesitant committing long term to support guys of Danault's caliber.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I'd love Cedric Paquette on the Rangers. he'd improve the 4th line and he's a center.

if Barkov comes he’s replacing Mika. We are not going to afford UFA deals for both of them.

 

[Esa 10]

I'd be all over a Strome for Danault exchange. Brings a defensive aspect this team is lacking. Can be moved at the deadline if need be.

 

[NYR Viper]

I wonder if Howden would be of interest to Toronto. They need cheap depth players who can fill roles. Lemieux too.

Im not getting the Danault over Lindholm argument. Specifically due to contract status. I’m really not interested in bringing in a soon to be UFA unless Gorton gets the ability to talk contract before the deal is finalized. If he’s asking for $4.5m, maybe. If he’s asking for $6m, hell no.

I still believe Strome to a team like Buffalo makes the most sense if they can work out a long term deal.

You're probably right, but who knows what this pandemic does in 2 years to contracts.

I’d be intrigued by this

 

[Avery16]

Hayes isnt a great 2C either, that’s why we traded him at his peak before he hit UFA.

 

[TopShelf86]

If Kapanen returned the #15 +, Buch or Strome is easily worth a 12-17 pick +

I really wish but I dont think so
I also think cap issues were sort of part of it. That freed up a few mil for TOR

Turris is the one they will get rid of. Possibly even buyout if you believe any of the talk. I would take a flier on him if the deal was right (assuming Strome was moved). 1 or 2 years to rebuild his value, relatively cheap.

Its surprising Turris didn't work out in Nashville. He was a killer for the sens. Nice edge to his game and a very good passer.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Well we certainly didn't want to give him $7m a year, but he's a good 2C

 

[broadwayblue]

You're probably right, but who knows what this pandemic does in 2 years to contracts.

In two years we're going to be giving raises to Kakko and Fox. I'm pretty comfortable saying we aren't going to add an 8M UFA forward contract in the next couple years while keeping Panarin and Zibanejad.

Turris is on a downward spiral.

That should tell you everything about how useful the selke voting is to determine who is actually defensively sound and who isn't.

Selke and Norris are 100% reputation awards that the voters don't put any thought or work into
