Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

[mm11]

quick: anyone have flight trackers of JG or Kadri yet?

 

[MJF]

It is fasci

Well, the assets traded for him with likely be brutal as well.

It is fascinating though. Non-tender a bunch of mid-low level players and cut them loose, only to give raises to mid-low level UFAs.

 

[SI90]

Woahhh

8.5AAV for 8 years for Serge

 

[PK Cronin]

Only reasonable if we are able to get a difference maker up front without doing so....

And more likely than not it will have to be by trade and clearing space, everyone knows this and he also would have brought back the best assets.

So "collecting 1st rounders" is pretty dumb comment when of course everyone advocating for moving him is to use said asset to acquire said difference maker....

And moving him for the difference maker, weakening the goalie position, when he could get the difference maker without moving him would be pretty dumb.

 

[mm11]

bagels for life Johnny....Anyone own a shop?

 

[JJ18Sniper]

Woahhh

8.5AAV for 8 years for Serge

Higher cap than Hedman's deal a few years ago, I'm a bit surprised. I expected something in the 7AAV range.

 

[SI90]

More confirmation. Does this mean he’s willing to come here or trying to get more out of NJ? Who knows

 

[PK Cronin]

 

[isles55]

Kulak at 4 x $2.75 is a great deal for Edmonton. We should’ve been on that; he would’ve been a great partner for Dobson. Kulak is better than Romanov.

Ya, I will take my odds of being right on that one.

No difference maker and Varly still being on the roster that is...

 

[Glorydays22]

I'd rather sit out the silliness and trade for Tarasenko after the dust settles. These contracts given out are brutal.

I just don't want to trade our 2023 1st rounder and you know St. Louis will want that. To me, that's too much for me.

 

[SayItAintSoJohnny]

I just don't want to trade our 2023 1st rounder and you know St. Louis will want that. To me, that's too much for me.

not if he extends....

That is exactly the type of player you move your 1st rounder for (as opposed to the 3 we just traded players for)

 

[MJF]

Now waiting for Cernak

 

[SI90]

Cirelli 8 years $6.25AAV

Tampa keeping the core forever

 

[IslandersFan17]

Not sure about that. He's going to be 31 next year. You want to re-sign him for another 6 years? He's going to want at least 6 years at $8M-$8.5M. He's making *$7.5M now.

 

[19 Straight]

Did the Panerin negotiations take this long? I don't remember.

 

[PK Cronin]

It still doesn't make you right in your approach.

 

[Stercrazy]

Did the Panerin negotiations take this long? I don't remember.

I think it was a day or 2.

 

[SI90]

Tampa doing business

 

[danteipp]

Good, I am glad that Lightning players are finally extracting every dollar that they can from Tampa.

 

[MJF]

Cernak is signed

 

[YearlyLottery]

Did the Panerin negotiations take this long? I don't remember.

No. We knew Panarin was likely choosing the Rangers before the morning was over.

 

[SI90]

Everyone gets an 8 year deal!!

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

No. We knew Panarin was likely choosing the Rangers before the morning was over.

You mean kinda like how we know Gaudreau is going to be a Devil?
