The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[slip]

Vultures be circling.

 

[zenthusiast]

They’re still hitchhiking home from the west coast trip after Pegula refused to pay for travel

 

[DapperCam]

To merge two thoughts from two different threads - I've never really considered that Pegula was accepting losing to cut costs..... unless he's trying to sell.

Maybe there is some fuel behind the Jacobs speculation..........

I think that's the Pittsburgh Pirates philosophy, right?

1. Keep actual costs to an absolute minimum
2. Participate in revenue sharing
3. Profit!

If you happen to win that is incidental.

 

[Tuomio]

Just great. Because I see nothing in Detroit that is realistically available that I would want.

That's my thought too. Seider, sure bring him in. But no way in hell is he available.

 

[Selanne00008]

Some of my fear from early this season seem to be coming true. Which is, the guys they signed long term and really committed to just aren't good enough. Not good enough to eat up that much of the cap, they haven't kept on the same trajectory they were before getting signed, we haven't hit on mid round picks, and nobody wants to sign here due to weather/city/reputation for losing.

Guess we have to:
- Eat it for many years to come
- Sell low on players we signed long term (I.E. trade cozens plus a 1st for X), to get out of contracts. But then we aren't starting from below nothing.

How depressing! Thank GOD we have JA17.

 

[Dahlicious]

Word of the wise to you all - don’t try to suggest to Canucks fans that we don’t want futures. They don’t react well.

 

[Fjordsen]

If it's not Larkin, Raymond,Edvisson or Seider i ain't particularly interested

Maybe it's one of them?

Similarly, don't point out that JT is going to be 32 and recently quit on his team for a break unlike anything I've ever heard about in this league shy of substance abuse issues (not saying it is that).

Or, even more simply, that he has a NMC lol.

Cozens and Samuelsson still have team-friendly buy outs. But I think we can get something for Cozens (even though it would be selling low).

Because that seems loonie for DRW to do? Buffalo has a fine tradition of casting off players just as they are getting to peak years but Yzerman in Detroit and Tampa hasn't.

Who knows if there are some other guys there with a change of scenery or if they were looking at Philly players.

 

[Gras]

Per Lindy, Greenway is having surgery and is out long-term.

So glad we couldn’t match Borgen and two middle round picks for Kakko.

In division and if we're offering Joker then its Probably Joker, Top 10 Protected 1st and a 5th.

 

[Fjordsen]

We are in different divisions and I doubt it would be 1st, we could also suggest someone else.

 

[Dahlicious]

 

[Fjordsen]

Barry is already in despair, although he hasn't been a GM for very long, and our gentleman has been for five years and is in no despair.

Seriously, it's hard to see a deal with Preds for Cozens.

 

[Chainshot]

Okay... I don't see a thing the Preds have that seems like they would move that should return Cozens. But okay.

 

[Chainshot]

Can't wait for more Novak and a bunch of nickels discussion.

[Chainshot]

Ah yes, Novak and a bunch of dimes.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Yeah there better be a hell of a lot better piece than those names

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Change Stiga to Svechkov and OK.

 

[Fjordsen]

I would take a flyer for Novak, but not for Cozens. Why do we need another LD? And who is Stiga I don't know.

 

[Gras]

Conference, same thing, since they took back Borgen after moving out Trouba its likely they were targeting a D and probably a RD, so all we would really have to offer is Joker.

SVECHHHHHHHH

But they cut Kakko, so there might be a spot open. I suggested Krebs and a few Rangers fans seemed to agree.
