Roster speculation part XIV

Radulov coming back to the show. Obviously the biggest worry would be having him in the locker room with the young ones but he's a talented winger. Also Russian which makes it a long shot. I'm interested to see what he can do at the NHL level though
Evidently Brendan Smith is on the outs in Detroit. Might be an interesting pickup for the 2nd pairing.

Trade board offer: what would you give up for Sabres 1st?
Rangers fan put McDonagh.
Deal. No take backs!

That must have been Garth Snow trolling the Rangers board.
Captain Holt
Fun? I was never fun! You take that back
How has Baptiste been this year?
I see that he has 12 and 12, but I don't recall seeing a thing about him.

Too many injuries to get on track. Hopefully he can use it for next season and build off this year.
Let's go through the UFA d-men:
Campbell
Yandle
Gologoski
Hamhuis
Quincey
Russell
What is the top term/dollars you'd be willing to go on each?

There is a cap cushion for bonus money, I believe if you exceed that it rolls over.
For 35+ contracts Im not sure if it need to be structured this way or if its a team option on if the bonus money counts in the following year (like Boston and Iginla with ~$4M counted against the following years cap)
I understand player value can rise based on performance. On here its shiney new toy to the nth degree.
Its expected if you area CHL player your numbers will go up in the next two years post draft like Sanheim had. But there are TONS of players who did that but there is little correlation to that and NHL success.
lets look at the 2014 draft:
Ekblad
Reinhart
Draisatl
Bennet
Nylander
Ehlers
Pasternick
Larkin
Fabbri
McCann
all have done more--in a redraft they likely still get drafted before he does.
the issue I have in a redraft he gets picked maybe 8-12. around where Buffalo is picking now.
In terms of trade value
ROR+McGinn=Zads+Girgs+Compher+2nd
vs
top 10 pick+2nd+Pysyk for Sanheim

nothing more than 2 years... on any of them. They are all fallback options IMO
Hamhuis is probably the one that interests me the most. Because a 2 year deal should be right in his wheel house.
Campbell seems like someone who will stay in Florida. But if wanted to finish where he started, I'd have no problem with a 2 year deal
Yandle is going to get too much money, not interested at all
Gologoski is going to get too much money, not interested at all
Quincey is a good fit, affordable, makes sense
Russell not interested at all.
That's just lazy.... 1.31 points per game isn't just "expected improvement", it's the best in the entire CHL. I would agree, in a re-draft, he probably gets picked in the 8-12 range. Where you see a value difference (in the addition of assets to our 1st) I see the proper investment. Those 2 years of development are incredibly valuable.
- player fits core need
- player has shown exceptional development
- player is closer to NHL
So if upgrading my existing 8th-12th pick to Sanheim and all those benefits of two years of development costs me a Pysyk and some additional picks, I call that a deal.
Not sure why comparing pending UFA on the outs with his franchise, to blooming stud D prospect is relevant.
If Campbell hits UFA, Buffalo would probably be an option for him. He's a bills fan and was torn up when Buffalo traded him to Chicago. Some people have mentioned Florida might simply not be able to afford him (or be willing to beyond 1 year)

Straight up for 7-10, I think this is the exact deal most of us would be hoping for.
Edit: then again, I guess it comes down to who is available. Brodin is what he is, and it's extremely safe, but does he get you to the top of the mountain?

Yup, that's exactly the kind of player I'd like to trade that pick for: young LHD.
Yes, particularly if there is no tacked on contract things -- Buffalo giving up a top-10 pick does not mean they have to eat crap salary like Pominville. The determination would have to be if Brodin alone is worth a top-10 pick or if someone needs to add something.
McDonough was mentioned by a Ranger fan and he'd be one of those "fat kid on a smartie" moments if that was ever offered.

What are people's thoughts on Brodin? He seems sort of like LHD Pysyk, but better. We don't need Karlsson, but it's somewhat confounding when a player with a huge skill set doesn't bring any sort of offense. You would like to know a player can rip a shot when he has a wide open chance, or is willing to pinch occasionally.

He's a much, much faster and better skater than Pysyk will ever be. He also has a lot of offensive potential we haven't seen translate yet. Low end he's a perfect #2 for Risto: fast, steady, a rock in his own end. High end he's a #1 in his own right, all that stuff, plus elite offense.
I like like him but I don't love like him. And for a top-10 pick in this draft, I don't like like him THAT much to not want something more that isn't Moulson-esque bad contract money like Pominville.
I think the interesting thing about Brodin is the role/fit. A stay at home, but incredibly mobile defensemen is exactly what either Risto or Bogo need.
