It's been brought to my attention some LA fans may be interested in a PPQB to improve their PP?
This is not my personal offer but one of FLA's posters and feel it makes some sense for both teams.
Adds/+'s to either side or retention on Yandle if need be
Iafallo
Grundstrom
Yandle
Heponiemi
Iafallo - 1 year left @ $2.425 million
- he may not be in their long term plans and may block some younger kids from playing time.
- he'll be 27 in December and likely looking for a decent raise
- fits in more with FLA's timeline a bit.
- May help replace some offense if both Dadonov and Hoffman walk
Grundstrom - 2 years left @ 725k (don't know much about him)
- 23 years old in December
- strengthens FLA's LW depth in one trade.
FLA needs some size and players who can challenge for bottom 6 time next year.
Yandle - 3 years left @ $6.35 million
- 3rd in PP points (78) in the last 3 years, just turned 34 two days ago
- needs to keep his ironman streak alive (hasn't missed a game in over a decade) but has been reduced to 3rd line minutes under Q
- still a capable puck moving LD, would take some responsibility off Doughty's shoulders.
- FLA would be willing to retain a bit to make it work
Heponiemi - 2 years left on ELC at 925k
- still possesses very good offensive instincts, needs to adapt to quicker/physical AHL/NHL
- very elusive and projects as a middle 6 playmaker.
- stalled a bit in his first year in AHL but could get going again if re-united with Kupari (Liiga team mate)
- LA adds more skill to their LW depth chart
Thoughts?
