Offensively? No. But doesnt defense also require skills? Something Ehn is good at.

You still have to have bottom 6 forwards. If you can fill those spots with young, inexpensive players who you drafted, coached, trained, and invested in, why wouldn't you? Seems logical to me.

Yes , but like i said we have a TON of bottom line guys and guys like smith,pearson coming up who are all cheap , heck even turgeon as unlikely as maybe be can probably play 12/13 for a stint but how can anyone ever come here when we have so many people tied up under contract in the bottom line?

would i keep ehn dirt cheap? Course . Would i be surpised if he was let go or traded? Not in the slightest

Ehn is better than all of those players you mentioned

Rather have smith in the lineup over ehn , brings something to the lineup we lack ... either way ehn is player who can be flipped in and out of the lineup and wouldnt be greatly missed i wont get into an argument over ehn’s value ... hes a cheap 10-13th forward who’ll likely be tossed around some teams before its all said and done

Gotta be Turris. Anybody still willing to take him on as our 2C so he can play with Mantha?

For Turris I'd want pick number 11 please. 

Edit: I also find it delicious that Chiarelli signed Koskinen without approval from the president or owner about 5 minutes before he was fired. Get rekt Oilers.

Yeah, I'd take Turris, depending on the asset(s) attached. They'd have to be willing to pay a premium.

Yeah, it would have to be this year's 1st round pick at minimum, to take on 4 years at $6M for a mediocre 2C.

A 1st or David Farrance.

How the f*** do the Preds continue to develop all these defensemen, seemingly out of nowhere?

Ferrance looks like a good defensive prospect, but I'd want him, plus, to take on 4 years of Turris.

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

I saw somewhere they were thinking of buying our turris , sorry for 4 yrs  x 6 of that turdness we’d need a kings ransom imo , 2 1sts + or 1st + fabbro + ... that contract is so bad

i think they’ll have no choice but to buy him out

Smith and Ehn are two completely different players, Smith is a high energy guy and Ehn is a very, very effective defensive shut down guy.  Id also like to keep our youth movement going and keep them intead of Abby, Helm & Glendog.

Rumors on markstrom getting close , as nice as demko was for a short stint i cant imagine them not bringing markstrom back .Could be good opportunity especially if they want ekman larsson , no chance i just take demko alone for eriksson though

Nope perhaps Eriksson+Demko+Vancouver's 2021 2nd round pick going to be expensive to unload on Eriksson.

I stil fight tooth and nail for a 1st , i know everyone loves demko especially that 3 game performance but im still not sold on the guy , he had like a 905% in the regular season and he’d be on a way worse team here ... he comes here and is just average we took eriksson for nothing

Buying out a contract worth $6M per for 4 years would be a huge mistake to buy out in my opinion. Turris is still a decently effective player, at least for another couple years. I'd take him for a 2020 1st, plus a mid round draft pick, or mid tier prospect.

Vancouver and Eriksson seems like the right play to me.

VAN is in a real interesting window right now. All their core pieces are locked in at $6 million or under. And all their core pieces are performing super well. They have an opportunity to be a really good deep team that's lean and efficient against the cap as well. Not surprisingly they are reportedly super active on the trade market. Bringing in OEL would be huge for them and keeping Markstrom is probably important too - so they don't have to rely on a rookie goalie.

I say we help them achieve their dreams.
 

As long as they hell us achieve ours in giving us another 1st in the deal

Thats way too much coin for so little coming back ... 23 and 31 pts recently , 35 when deal ends a 1st + 4th + 7th best prospect isnt near enough for my liking

Keep in mind it would be 11th overall. That pick has a TON of value. 

[town123 233]

Forget any 2nd rounders coming back in deals.   Even Staal should have been a 1st with maybe a 3rd going back to NYR.    I wouldn't touch Turris for at least the 11th plus a spec.   Erikkson same deal.  

[LeftWinger 5,131]

Yzerman has already said he is open for business for taking on a couple more contracts. I think nashville would be crazy to buyout Turris. That is 8 years of paying for him ($2M per year,) PLUS if Weber retires they get socked with that huge re-capture penalty. So they would be wise to pony up some assests for a team to take him in trade.  Turris, 2020 1st and prospect would be the starting point.

 

Quote

Weber was paid $56 million by the Predators before he was traded to Montreal in 2016. However, his total cap hit was a little over $31.42 million during that time, meaning should Weber retire before his contract expires, Nashville is on the hook for the remaining $24.571 million via the cap recapture.

The good news is the Predators can spread any amount owed to Weber out over the remaining years left on his contract. They would only have to pay the full $24.571 million should Weber retire in the final year of his contract.

Below is a full breakdown of how much Nashville and Montreal would owe by year:

2019-20 - $3.510 million (NSH), $762,000 (MTL)

2020-21 - $4.095 million (NSH), $543,000 (MTL)

2021-22 - $4.914 million (NSH), $215,000 (MTL)

2022-23 - $6.142 million (NSH)

2023-24 - $8.190 million (NSH)

2024-35 - $12.285 million (NSH)

2025-26 - $24.571 million (NSH)

They best find a trade for Turris. I'd be ok with it, and leave him unprotected in the expansion draft.

True , but 4 years is alot of pain ... alot lol ... id push for fabbro , i keep hearing on radio shows alot of teams will be in for alot of pain and have to cut money due to finances , we should be pushing for as much as possible  off these gm’s and also we should be signing a player or two in free agency x1  yr  for the deadline as im sure so many decent guys will be in for a rude awakening ... dont forget the rfa’s who wont be resigned

 

id be up for AA x1 and playing him with gagner just to troll holland lmao

Rangers 1st is Lafraniere. That was never going to happen.

Per usual I love the strange amount of bias against Rasmussen.

The kid is fricken real good. I know he's not who YOU wanted in the 2017 draft. And that some dumb s*** media media f-ag wrote that he's only a PP holmstrom style specialist (he's not but can certainly do that job really well when called upon). And now everyone acts like he doesn't exist.

Newsflash. WAY better than Veleno. Ya know that guy you all slot in as our future 2C? There's good reason Ras went at #9 and Veleno went at #30. There's good reason the Wings were comfortable thrusting Ras into the NHL at 19. There's good reason why Rasmussen's AHL numbers are much better than Veleno's at the same age. The Rasmussen bias is honestly  the the most retarded thing I've seen from this fanbase since the Mrazek hype.

So you're saying we shouldnt write off a 21 year old 1st round pick playing in the AHL as a bust. Interesting.

You should be excited about this prospect you ******* retards

I'm not writing off Rasmussen. Not even close. But Veleno > Rasmussen

Rangers traded their 2021 2nd, so they could have upped it to a 2021 1st. I think the 2nd is more than fair, just sayin'...
