Trade and FA Rumours 2022/23 Part 2

[DRW204]

I think Blake ends up in Manhattan or in Boston.

actually think wheeler and now sprong on the rangers would be a solid fit. they need top-9 wingers, and neither will be breaking the bank for them.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

I'm on pins and needles waiting for tomorrow and all the UFA's the Jets are going to sign.

 

[Daximus]

barrie will be a tdl deal.
mcdonagh i can see being kept though for atleast the year and moved next year.

they need to get to the cap floor

puck pedia has them barely above

Seems like Trotz is going rebuild. Maybe they try and make some moves for dead cap players and picks coming back.

i think it's clear they're going rebuild? cleaning up the salary expenditure, acquiring picks and prospects, young players over the half year. they got lots of cap room now to do as you said.

 

[Daximus]

Nashville is very interesting. Arizona is similarly interesting, annually, but nothing ever develops.

But Boston is the one I'm most interested in. They have Pasternak, McAvoy and Lindholm and pretty much nothing else. And no picks and no prospects (except Lysell, whom I do like.)

I'm really interested to see what Nashville and Boston will do this week. (Arizona will do nothing)

I could see Boston making a big move somewhere. They need a C badly.

I assume Geekie and Sprong weren't qualified over worries about what the arbitrator would award them. But Seattle has a ton of capspace and no one other than Dunn to re-sign so not sure why they'd let these guys walk. Maybe the are planning on going big game hunting for Duchene or even Scheifele.

There was also a report that they are looking for a center and have no plans to trade Saros so i am not sure what their intentions are. You'd think Saros single handedly ruins any tank dragging the team to 12-16 draft spot all by himself like last season.

every time i see last years standings, can't help to just facepalm at how the nashville admirals finished right behind us with THAT roster. but yea fully agree with you.

they may have been looking for a young center but i think that ship has sailed. it doesn't appear that anyone is shopping young Centres now. time for them to embrace the tank.

nolan patrick now a ufa but his career is probably over at this point

That's too bad, he was such a promising player in junior.

If the arbitration was requested by a player, I think they can walk away from any decision the arbitrator makes.

He earned $6 million. He'll be fine if rookie dinner did not BK him.

We've stopped stocking his favourite beer.

 

[ennsjd07]

sprong was my pick for a break-out last year/offseason (i think there may be more there still). wonder what happens to him.

Sprong also strikes me as a JR Smith type player. All the physical giftings in the world and just makes dumb decisions all over.

 

[Guffman]

Wheeler and Scheifele to be reunited on the same line for the Boston Bruins!

 

[bustamente]

More than ever now I feel the Jets are going to take a run at retaining Scheifele, Helle on the other hand will be moved whether it's before the season starts, during the season if the Jets tank or at the deadline.

 

[ps241]

I don't think it's helpful to keep thinking that the Jets should get trade value for what Hellebuyck and Scheifele have been, instead of what they'll be in the future (performance and salary). The Jets have already received substantial value from both players over the past several years. Now, they need to get what they can in trade value and move forward, even if it's for rental prices, just as they did with Ladd and Trouba and Copp. Of course the Jets could have gotten much more trade value a few years ago for both, but then they wouldn't have them at good value for those years.

For the Jets, the positive is that they have gotten the best years at the best contract values for core players, and their next team will get less value.

So Chevy's job is to get the best value possible at the most opportune time, and not worry too much if critics compare trade value to what they would have fetched previously.

Great post. We have extracted most of the real value out of both players. Now they will want to get paid big in their 30’s and that’s not an easy sell.

 

[Thechozen1]

Not getting Mercer IMHO

Probably not, but he is listed as a centre. Will he remain happy playing behind Hughes and Hischier? Will he want too much on his next contract?

Chevy’s a grinder and many also said he wouldn’t get Vilardi either.

Many many years before the Devils care about how or where he wants to play

He plays wing on either Hughes or Hischers line. I'm sure he's quite happy with his spot.

He also played almost his entire junior career at wing with Lappierre as his center

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Would love to pick up geekie. I think he'd add a lot to the third or fourth line

 

[Flair Hay]

Mercer is probably more comparable in value to Byfield at this point

Seattle could really use a goaltender as well now that you mention it...

I think they heard you...

Haha crap

 

[ps241]

Do we take a flyer on Duchene?

No

 

[Thechozen1]

Yup. Likely Kakko but maybe Laf

I’d want their 2024 1st included.

 

[ecolad]

Wow, the list of players who didn`t receive qualifying offers and are now free agents include a number of interesting young C`s.( McLeod, Geekie, Sprong, Jost). Is there a hidden diamond in the rough hidden in there somewhere that might fit in with Chevy`s blueprint for restructuring?
