Roster Building XXI: It Gon' Go Down.

[Nikishin Go Boom]

He’s a Toronto guy, almost signed with Toronto last time he was a FA. Toronto seems interested in him again. I could see him going to Toronto.

They don’t have any money left

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Nils Lundkvist is an interesting piece. For whatever reason, the Stars would ice a full roster with him in the lineup, but end up only playing him 3-6 minutes a night. And this went on the entire year. Never seen that for a defenseman

Hey now, righty C…

Pinto plus for necas

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

We don’t have our 3rd so it would have to be a trade (if anyone was interested to know)

 

[spockBokk]

I suppose I see them at least coming away with one of Stamkos, Bertuzzi, Toffoli or DeBrusk tomorrow. They almost have to.

Don’t see them keeping Skjei, but will also expect a signing of a top 4 capable D.

I’ll almost be disappointed if they don’t sign Kapanen.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Please no toffoli

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Please no toffoli

Pure goal scorer. Wouldn't want that.

 

[User13452]

No Bertuzzi. If you think Svech takes bad penalties wait till you see Bertuzzi.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Pure goal scorer. Wouldn't want that.

Guy is slow, no defense, and lost ice time in the playoffs because he was the same regular season player

Pass on toffoli maybe if he was 3 years younger. I’d take a flyer on ardvisson not sure what his contract will look like though

 

[robbieberns]

I like DeBrusk and his size would make a good foil for Aho-Jarvis or on a line with Necas

 

[mikeyfan]

Could 7 X 9.5 get Reinhart or would that be too much?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Could 7 X 9.5 get Reinhart or would that be too much?

It would take 8 years of that in Florida. It’s going to take 7 x 10.8-11.5 elsewhere

 

[HisIceness]

Maybe it's just me but DeBrusk seems like another Bunting to me. I wouldn't hate it, but I wouldn't get excited either.

Under stand where your coming from but what contender realistically could afford to meet that price tag? I’m really not sure. I figure that price would put the Canes on the edge to fill out the roster as it is

 

[dogbazinho]

Plus you take a key player from a "rival." Something the Rangers and Devils enjoy doing.

Utah. New influx of money, push to contend sooner, and cap space to make a splash like that.

Utah has less cap space than the Canes and more roster spots to fill, just saying

 

[chaz4hockey]

10 nmc
8.5 nmc
6.35 nmc
4.78, most signing bonus and M-ntc (15)

To not violate the variance rule for contracts we could offer this 4 year deal structure to Stamkos.

4 year, 29.6 million deal. 7.4 million aav. Don’t love it but that 4th year could be moved. Would prefer to do 2 x 9.5 but he gets more money and term on the market

geez, paying him until age 38? I'd rather have had Guentzel who has less mileage on him.

Shorter contracts are better

 

[Navin R Slavin]

It sucks because you guys are the guys I most want to talk about the offseason with, but unfortunately for 90% of the offseason you are also the people that I least want to talk about the offseason with.

Oh, brother, I feel this so deeply.

Man, what the hell happened to Zadina? He was such a promising looking player, but now even the Sharks are tossing him to the curb.
