Trade and Free Agency Thread - 2022 - Off-season

[Menzinger]

It's happening.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Strome's production given who he plays with, is not great. He looks like a product of his environment. I'd definitely look at Dach, even though he's not a center.

 

[ACC1224]

It's happening.

What is?

What on earth is Pittsburgh thinking with that Letang contract?

Retirement reward for a good soldier.

 

[Morgs]

 

[Gallagbi]

Cost to acquire the two would be much different.

 

[andora]

Yeah, I personally would love to play against a guy who for his career averages 51 points per 82 games while being a strong offensive play driver despite being constantly f***ed around with by coaches and management and given inopportune roles.

No way would I want that guy on my team. Even if he could give us extra cap space I wouldn't want him.

Oh please spare me the campaign..

Amazing he cant get qualified or stay with a team or skate.

 

[Burnie97]

Debrincat trade maybe. Could see Ottawa doing something like that for a shit ton of picks

 

[Gallagbi]

Im giving the "break" to Chicago's twitter

@Morgs - Who we pulling for on draft night at 25? As usual, i havent been paying attention

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Not really? Kampfs line is going to get decent minutes as the defensive line. And the 4th line will get scraps as usual.

The Tavares line already gets soft usage and is bad defensively. You can't have the 3rd line function that way as well, thats why Keefe went to a defensive unit this year, often Mik/Kampf/Engvall. I see the team wanting to get better defensively if anything, not worse.

If Strome comes here he'll be on the 2nd line imo.

Our 4th line should not be getting scraps next year. That has to change.

They must provide special teams value and be able to take more ES shifts than Simmonds/Clifford/Spezza were capable of handling. Doesn't need to be a ton, but we can't have guys who are not in double-digit minutes in this lineup. Our top 6 should still be getting huge minutes (none of which is going to be easy for either line) but our offensive bottom 6 line has to be able to be able to take a few more ES shifts and provide some more depth offense.

Hey Ottawa traded 7 for Debrincat like I suggested

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Maybe Murray is going to Chicago too.

Murray + 7th + ??? for DeBrincat? That takes care of one of Chicago's goalies.

 

[Morgs]

That feels light

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[Burnie97]

 

[SprDaVE]

That feels light

Hawks were desperate for top pick.

Pretty good move by the Sens. Finally making moves to improve their team.

 

[Jozay]

Damn thats a good deal for the Sens

 

[Burnie97]

Yeah for a guy scoring 40 goals that's not too much really.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

That feels light

Chicago gets a pair of picks in two of the highest surplus pick value ranges in the draft... And it doesn't seem like the market is all that great for those guys. Fiala didn't go for the ridiculous rumored prices either.

Probably a reason why we are not overly motivated to move Nylander too.

I think Chicago does well enough... And Ottawa is seemingly going for it.

 

[Stigma]

Ottawa ain’t playing. Wow

 

[Bellefour20]

Saw a trade proposal of Murray and the 7OA for Mrazek and the 25thOA. Was interesting. Won't happen now.

 

[Morgs]

I'd be disappointed if we traded Nylander for that and DeBrincat is arguably as good or better. Crazy this was the best Chicago could do.

 

[Stigma]

How did Ottawa get him at such a cheap price? Holy

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Wouldn't be surprised if Ottawa goes all in on getting Kadri and going for the playoffs now.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Good business by Ottawa. Only one first but it’s a top pick.
Toews & Kane gotta be next.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Would make a run for Kane now
