Speculation: Roster Building Thread XII

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think Lou makes a deal. He doesn't care about picks. He can't wait for a pick to pan out in 5 years. But yeah, that is a hit for the isles.

Does he have any picks left to move? lol.

100%. Rare dumb move by Sakic. Landeskog is a building block player. I throw 7 years and $9 million at him and offer him the C off the bat if I'm Seattle.

Maybe he really felt that he was not going to be able to sign him. Or felt like even if he's selected that he'd have another shot to talk next week.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I would assume some of these teams have deals in place with Seattle based on the names being exposed

So either way Seattle is getting good players or good future assets

He may rarely make dumb moves but he certainly seems to be cheap as hell across the board.

Wow these names..

If your Francis do you take the chance with Landeskog and offer him a mega deal to captain your team?

yes

 

[frozenrubber]

All the sizzle is the available forwards. The defensemen available aren't great. If I'm Seattle, I'd pick BPA and see if they can side-deal/offload excess for defense after this Entry Draft.

Good move by Drury. Rooney was the guy they wanted

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Big fan of the decision to protect Rooney. Well done Drury.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Francis is taking Gauthier.

 

[RGY]

Rooney over Gauthier is an absolute joke.

 

[NYRKING30]

So Seattle is taking Blackwell or Gauthier, with the amount of big money players, doesn’t seem very likely they will take DeAngelo.

 

[Doctyl]

Rooney over Gauthier is interesting. Its gotta be a 50/50 for Gauthier or Blackwell right? Unless Seattle is really hurting for dmen and take a chance on ADA?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Is there a reason that Goodrow isnt on that list?

Posting an un-finished list that has been known about for months. Classic.

he's a UFA

 

[haohmaru]

Landeskog exposure tells you there's not a negotiable difference in their contract talks and more like a chasm. He's a nice player, but he's not a guy I throw 8-9M and term at.

 

[frozenrubber]

Rooney over Gauthier is an absolute joke.

In potential, I really wanted to protect Gauthier. But it looks like Drury didn't want to scramble to find a 4C if Rooney was selected. Rooney has a role on this team, Gauthier didn't.

 

[Irishguy42]

Is there a reason that Goodrow isnt on that list?

Because he's a pending UFA. Seattle can take him, sure, but it's risky b/c...well...he's a pending UFA who may not want to play in Seattle.

 

[EpicDing]

Is there a reason that Goodrow isnt on that list?

They probably already have it worked out with Goodrow that he'll sign and don't see any danger

 

[E-Train]

Once again, it needs to be said: Reaves doesn't do anything well. At all. He is below replacement player level.

Please stop trying to will him onto the team.

Like it or not Reaves or someone like him will be on the opening night roster. That’s in addition to Goodrow and probably another with grit that has some ability.

I wouldnt if I'm the Avs or Rangers, but Seattle absolutely should throw that kind of contract at him. They look like they could make the playoffs with some of the options they have.

The Athletic only pays for the best

I still don't think Landeskog is going anywhere. Now his agent will just have another counteroffer/leverage against COL.

Before the contract impasse, Landeskog wasn't going to be signed before the Seattle entry draft anyway, having a wink-wink agreement giving COL another protection slot.
