Confirmed with Link: Wings sign Tarasenko to a 2 year deal

[Henkka]

Wonder how the top 6 will be constructed now.

As three Right wingers being Raymond, Kane and Tarasenko, who neither can play on the left side, you should start talking about a Top9, instead of a Top6.

XXX - XXX - Raymond
XXX - XXX - Kane
XXX - XXX - Tarasenko

 

[SantosHalper]

Tarasenko out of nowhere! Wow! Welcome to Hockeytown!

 

[Frk It]

Wonder how the top 6 will be constructed now.

Aren’t Raymond, Kane, and Tarasenko all right wingers?

I wonder if we are going to spread them out on different lines or just put someone on the left wing.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Eh not the sexiest get, but will help mitigate the offense lost.

I assume they're expecting an arbitration filing from either Veleno or Berggren which will allow them to buy out Husso (which saves $3.1M).

 

[Euro Twins]

This is it! This is our year!

very interesting. So, doing an arbitration for someone else on the roster opens up the buyout window for other players? Or am I misunderstanding?

I honestly don't believe Husso is getting bought out, at least not in the summer. It feels like there is going to be a goalie competition for talbot/husso/lyon and hope to get rid of one by middle of preseason.

I am more curious about berggren being traded somewhere as part of a package deal to get another player (LW or D)

Arbitration number has to be 4 milloin or more, to enable extra buyout period.

Either guy isn't even near.

Yeah Husso and his cap hit sitting there sticking out like a sore thumb right now.

How much cap space do they have to bring back Hudler, Draper, Franzen and Helm?

Franzen is still hiding under his covers and Hudler is still cleaning the toilets. But for about 6m we can sign helm and only $1 for drapes

Good catch. I don't know how they'll clear up the goalie logjam, then. There aren't any logical openings for Husso around the league, even at 50% retained.

Probably Raymond and seider going to arbitration to enable buyout and then settle early?

 

[RedHawkDown]

Love this signing. Low risk and low term, and he’s still good.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Ras-Copp-Tarasenko 3rd line? Sounds good to me.

 

[Euro Twins]

I really didn't think we'd get him since he just bought a 5 million dollar home in fort Lauderdale

 

[Ricelund]

Love it. Now add a top-four defenseman!

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Nothing says Michigan quite like buying a home in Florida.

neither are going to arbitration unless yzerman shits the bed hard.

This is an alright move, but unless he’s going to play his off wing I don’t see him putting up 55-60 points playing on a third line with Copp and Ras.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Nice work

 

[Euro Twins]

Cat Larkin Raymond
?? Compher kane
Ras Copp Tarasenko

Can bergren play left wing?

Unless he wants to and talks to them about it in order to do buyouts?

I don't know the legality of all that. But I would think it's possible.

Yes, Bergy was a left winger in swedish league and also played LW with Raymond at same line for Sweden lately.

Ras - Larkin - Raymond
Cat - Compher - Kane
Berggren - Veleno - Tarasenko
Motte - Copp - Fischer

This is how I see it now.

 

[ZDH]

f*** yes

Lick it Pitt

I really hate cat and kane together except on the pp. He does better with Raymond and Larkin. All he does is look for kane otherwise

I don't know the legality of all that. But I would think it's possible.

I seriously doubt either Seider or Raymond have any desire to play games around what will be the first massive contracts of their careers, much less in order to facilitate one of their teammates losing his job and a good chunk of change.
