LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted July 21, 2021 I wonder if they'll re-sign Staal to a year. With Djoos splitting and Cholowski gone, they are short one LHD, even with Leddy Leddy - Seider DD - Hronek Staal - Stecher Lindstrom ...although I'd rather see KoekKoek in that spot. I thinking any of the bigger name UFA's won't be interested in coming here. Even if we signed Koekkoek, I still think they'll give Staal a contract just because he was a very solid player last season and would do wonders for development.

Not really anyone to develop but Seider and he'll be paired with Leddy. Don't think SY goes aged vet on D. Probably late 20ish depth signing like Stecher. Or Martinez Edited July 22, 2021 by Neomaxizoomdweebie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or Martinez I could see Martinez signing in Detroit for a few seasons if it doesn’t break the bank - however I have a feeling that Staal might want to return on the cheap.

kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted July 22, 2021 Definitely a power move by Seravalli. He's almost certainly going to get a new show on TSN as their new trade rumor kingpin. Which is good because he's almost certainly going to get completely blackballed by the league for ruining a big event for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I guess the money pipeline is probably with TSN. I assume this means Rask and Halak are no longer Bruins? Both UFAs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider making a pass at all 3 of those players I don't get the Virtanen buy-out... I get that he hasn't been good, but you'd think Benning would be able to make a deal with some team, even if he had to retain salary and / or throw in a late round pick. I would have taken a flyer on Virtanen at $1.275M for one year. Hell, I'd probably even give up a late round pick... EDIT: Never mind. I just had a look at his buy-out. and apparently it will only cost the Canucks $50K this season, and $500K next season... That doesn't seem right to me. I thought it was 3/4 of the total owing spread over double the years remaining?... Edited July 22, 2021 by krsmith17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) If I'm Chicago I'm going all-in on Eichel and Seth Jones. To the point that I'd move Dach, Boqvist, and my 1sts in 2021 and maybe 2022 to do it. They need the publicity and that would all but guarantee they'd start getting marquee free agents again.

Jake Virtanen is under criminal investigation for assaulting a woman a few years ago, That;s why he's being boughtout and why no GM will have anything to do with him.

Because Virtanen is under the age of 26, he is subject to a one-third buyout instead. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
