Well Vegas has their new LTIR slut in Stamkos if he goes there.
No pajama boy for you Toronto.
Nah. Debrusk is way better. Foegle is gonna get overpaid.... anyone else rather bring back Foegele than get DeBrusk?
that was a 7% logicThought I'd sworn off hockey after game 7. For fricks sake lol
I like Debrusk more, but I think he's going to get overpaid, where as the Foegele market I think is going to be less contested and more reasonable. On Day 1 of Free Agency I'm trying to dodge both.Nah. Debrusk is way better. Foegle is gonna get overpaid.
What’s the most you would do for Debrusk and Foegele?I like Debrusk more, but I think he's going to get overpaid, where as the Foegele market I think is going to be less contested and more reasonable. On Day 1 of Free Agency I'm trying to dodge both.
lol. Picks 1 through 5+
Got a 2nd back at least!
lol. Picks 1 through 5+
Trade will live in infamy. Would be hilarious if Jeannot popped off now though..
Wasn't it basically the cap hit that drove the price up because he was on a league-minimum deal?That will forever be one of the weirdest trades in NHL history, I remember seeing the update on my phone and being....
If I made a list of my favorite players in the league he's up there...Marchessault would be unreal to pair with Drai, top of my wish list for tomorrow for sure.
Smaller guy with a motor and so freakishly smart.Marchessault is going to turn 34 next season. Buyer beware imo.
Is Debrusk actually way better or did he just get extra PP time in Boston that he'd never get here? There 5v5 production is nearly identical over the past three years.Nah. Debrusk is way better. Foegle is gonna get overpaid.
So under the presumption the roster is unchanged except for moving Ceci + Kulak out and Janmark + Brown extensions are a matter of time, the UFA's I want are.
-Matt Roy for Ceci's old spot, IMO he's the most likely person to fix the Nurse pairing that has been wrecking us for 3 years straight in the playoffs, I like him better than Pesce and I'm guessing he'll come in cheaper than Pesce.
- Back-up plan for Matt Roy is Sean Walker a very different player and a bit scary not having the track record of high end play, but I see him filling a role similar to a younger Tyson Barrie where his puck rushing/movement skills help elevate lesser 3rd/4th line talents to be more productive and on the attack more.
My top 6 winger pick is:
-Matt Duchene- rumored to be going back to DAL, but I see him as the 3rd play driver on the team which we have been lacking for a while, also I could see him meshing with any of our top centers.
-back-up plan is Viktor Arvidsson- I think he fills a similar role to what Yamo did on the RNH - Drai - Yamo line, but he's the deluxe version of Yamo, bound to create some pressure and turnovers for the other 2 to feast on.
(based on AFP Analytics numbers most of the wingers are overpriced by a decent chunk, I'd probably go the value route if I miss out on these 2)
-Then my pick for 3rd pair RHD is Jani Hakanpaa- fills a pretty similar role to Desharnais, but I'm thinking he's a smidge better, though I'm also entirely comfortable brinding Desharnais back
Looking at the 4tn line C options I'm going to say most of them are ass, I might flip a coin between Boqvist and Carrick, if we got Carrick I'd lean towards a cheap skill splash and if we got J. Boqvist, I'd probably look for some beef that either hits or drives possession.
Guys like that you sign to a 4 year max deal or make it buyout friendly after the 3rd year IMO,Marchessault is going to turn 34 next season. Buyer beware imo.

Marchessault is like two weeks older than Duchene.I like the idea of a guy like Duchene a lot for the exact reason you said. A guy who isn't afraid to be the guy on an offensive line.
