Roster Building XIX - Did we blow the deadline? Need to ask the magic 8-ball

[SvechneJerk]

Sounds like a drop in replacement for Necas, not in the good way.

I didn't say I wanted him, just didn't know what the Bruins really had to offer in return.

 

[CandyCanes]

Did I get the GM job over Tulsky? I imagine TT would come back on a discount. Thought Tarasenko or Toffoli could be free agent targets for us again too over TT.

FYI Lindholm took that 1 year deal to rebound after a very mid season. Cause he loves Carolina too.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'll never say never, but would be quite surprised if Lindholm came back here. That said, I said the same about deHann as well.

 

[Brock Anton]

If Hronek was willing to take 6x6, the Canucks would've signed him a year ago.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

And it’s telling how well it worked out the second time that I actively forgot this happened.

That is true, though Hronek's camp might've over-played his hand some after his numbers went back down to Earth later in the season and after some post-season struggles. I don't think that a contract in the 6-7M range is unrealistic for Hronek considering how his season ended.

TT I would let walk.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Marek stating similar info.

 

[Brock Anton]

TT I would let walk.

Unless he was somehow willing to take less than $4M, I easily let him walk. I just think his time is up here.

My first thought is the top line is too small. Let Turbo walk, put Jarvis on the 2 line and sign a bigger right hand forward for the top line with Turbo's salary.

Great. I don't see what they could offer of interest though.

I mean we saw these 3 in the regular season and they were spectacular. But longevity I agree the size could be an issue

 

[DaveG]

I mean if we could get Hronek long term at around 6-6.5 then yeah, he'd make sense as part of a Necas trade. But I highly doubt he'd re sign for that.

I'm not sold on Hronek because that really leaves us with 3 offensive RHD and no possibility of putting together a decent pair to take the hard defensive minutes.

Auditioning.

Auditioning.

Great. Raising his trade value. Although bigger ice helps him.

Cory L brought up the PLD trade (Canes Corner pod) as a comparable for what the Canes should be looking for in return for Necas.

I don’t think the Canes will get that sort of return but the basis works, getting a 1st plus getting young roster player(s) seems to be best case scenario.

Suppose the thought I’m getting at is I hope they’re looking for a return somewhere on the middle of the Fiala and PLD returns. All the Hronek/Ullmark noise hopefully is just noise.

If a team believed he is a 2c, maybe

Short of a surprise Burns trade, Hronek is a tough fit this season. He's a very good long-term fit, however. It's up to the FO about how willing they are to have a somewhat uneven defense for one season.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Just keep TDA.

Just keep TDA.

If they end up keeping Skjei and picking up a depth guy who can play either side in free agency, that’s not a horrible idea.

They got by with a right side of TDA-Pesce-Bear for a season. The weakness on the right side (Burns-TDA-Morrow) be mitigated with a very strong left side of Slavin-Skjei-Orlov. Only issue would be where to slot Nikishin the following year.

 

[baconandbread]

Hey Ottawa if you want to pair Necas with Kubalik again next year, just send us Brady Tkachuk!

We didn’t get by with that set in the playoffs. Tda, as expected, got dominated in the playoffs. Great value pickup not great to count on for the playoffs

I think next season will be a transition season regardless. They won’t be as good, but likely still good enough to make the playoffs as a wild card team or 2nd/3rd in the Metro.

I think they may get back to where they’ve been the past few seasons if they additions of Morrow/Nikishin pan out as expected and with the growth of Jarvis and hopefully emergence of Nadeau/Blake as 2nd line scoring threats.
