Roster Speculation 2015-16 Part IV

[joshjull]

If Patrick sharp can be had for super cheap, wouldn't you guys want him on our team for the next couple seasons? His cap hit is 5.9, but we have plenty of room for him, especially the next 2 years (after that he walks, who cares). But we're thin on RW and he could be a heck of a player on a line with Eichel/Reinhart centering him.

I just think it would be a nice stopgap until we develop a young RW of our own or trade for some prospects, etc...

He would definitely help us get into the playoffs. He's an experienced winger w/ leadership and has 3 cups on his resume...he played a big part in the hawks success.

Edit: By cheap I mean a 3rd round pick in next year's draft with a conditional third in 17' (assuming we make the playoffs this year).

In principle I agree with what your saying and he might have made sense if ROR wasn't acquired.. But its not a need right now. LD is the next target via trade or free agency per Murray's presser

We're legitimately out of forward spots. There's just no place for him

I said it in the other thread, but I think Ehrhoff is a legitimate target.

That would make us a playoff contender if Ehrhoff is healthy. That's our biggest need and he fits it to a tee, including powerplay.

 

[TehDoak]

Hey there Arizona, you need some more salary eh?

Let me tell you about this Cody Hodgson fellow

 

[Selanne00008]

Let's say we land one of Rej/Ehrhoff.

Do we all assume coho will be bought out? If we could somehow flip coho into any kind of D asset, I would love Murray.

 

[Matt Ress]

I haven't been a Mez fan but 1 year @ 2mil? He does seem to play better with motivation. Not necessarily money motivation but being on a team that is actually trying to win and realistically win.

I'm still on the Coho to Arizona narrative. Makes alot of sense considering no UFA worth their salt is going to sign there since they have no idea where they might be relocating next year

What would you look for in return? 2016 2nd? D prospect? Or a bag of pucks?

Thrilled with a 2nd
Happy With a 3rd
Content with a 4th
"OK, at least we dumped the contract" with anything less

Hodgson with 25% retained for one of Gormley/Dahlbeck (makes even more sense since Arizona just got another LHD in Grossman)

 

[jvirk]

I honestly just want that full contract off of our books for good. I'd trade him for a bag of pucks even.

Free up that cap space and free up that roster spot.

 

[AlsPug]

Is there a Reinhart trade coming?
I really don't see a place for him now with O'Reilly, Eichel, Larsson and even Girgs on the team. Has he ever played wing?

And where is CoHo fitting in right now?


I'd love to see O'Reilly centering Girgs and Kane... My goodness... no team would be safe. lol

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

That would be fantastic. We might have to throw in a mid-round pick though.

I said it in the other thread, but I think Ehrhoff is a legitimate target.

Take this with a 100000 pound grain of salt, but one of my friends said he saw Christian Ehrhoff in Buffalo this week. I have absolutely no confirmation this is even sort of true, but it could make sense.

He still owns a house in the area.

I sure don't expect a Reinhart trade. He's Murray's pick and has shown nothing to diminish his value. He's got a place either in Rochester, at RW, and eventually at C. It's just a matter of when he slides in. If Murray wants to trade for a D-man there are many other/better options to trade away.

Christian Ehrhoff: the d-man so nice we'll pay him twice!

 

[Zip15]

Paul Martin, lol. Would rather re-sign Mez.

What in the world...??

I said it in the other thread, but I think Ehrhoff is a legitimate target.

I'd like to believe that's true, but Murray took some shots at him and all but questioned his commitment in post-buyout remarks. It's too bad, because if he's healthy he's a great short-term fit as the LD2.

 

[CaptPantalones]

Just thinking about this but does mcginn play RW as well?

 

[Wisent42]

With the additions of Legwand, McGinn and ROR, what's our current cap situation? Do we still need to add something to be over the floor?

No. They're at 56.7 mil with several more players to sign...but possibly minus Hodgson's cap hit.

 

[TehDoak]

The more I think about Ehrhoff, the more I think Pegula might veto any deal.

He asked for a trade after receiving 22 M of the 40M contract.

Then he got bought out @ 12M of the remaining 18M left on his deal

So the Pegula's already paid him 34M for essentially 3 years of work. Not sure how thrilled they'd be about shelling more out to a guy who basically quit on them.

 

[Moskau]

**** Christian Ehrhoff.

 

[Selanne00008]

The # makes me think holy crap, thats higher than I thought! But, there's money that is coming off the books soon by design. Like Gionta and Legwand. Then Coho and even Moulson was signed keeping in mind when entry level deals would be over with.
