How about we se if we can sign Lundqvist to a 1 year $1M contract? For a 1st(top 20) I’ll take on almost anybody. Edit; if Lundqvist keeps playing hes going to a contender fer sure.

Nobody is throwing stupid money at UFAs in this offseason. Boston might get him to the price they want if he gets to explore free agency and see that the grass isnt really greener anywhere else. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 What about Bryan Little? 32 years old, 4 years remaining at $5.3M. Durability has been a concern, but still effective when healthy. Jets want to free up cap space to re-sign Laine. What would it cost to take on that contract? This year's 1st (10th overall), plus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man that 10th pick would be awesome but thats alot of $ , personally think jets hold on to the pick and hope sanderson/askarov fall to them, could be wrong but i dont think theyd pay the price to move little ...think perreault is the likely candidate id take perreault for a 2nd though but id tell them 100% has to be this year (40th) and if push comes to shove and they want 2021 i say its 2022 2nd for me or not Id probably end up doing it but id try and play hardball for this year as theres only so many teams who Can take money on but alot more teams trying to shed some , which makes me question the return from staal . I want to see 1sts coming our way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have no picks till 4th round ....i think his numbers have gone down cause of where he is my thinking is he plays with us bounces back and we flip him at the deadline or 18 months later with salary retention or we flip him right away with 50% retention .... surely we might be able to land at least a few 1sts for ekman larsson at 4 mill a season . Gotta think a bunch of teams would come knocking ...ya just remembered it would be for 7yrs , dont know if thats realistic lol oh well ... if we did that it would have to be 2 1sts, top prospects + player(s) to even think about wasting 28 million .... maybe that would get melnyk to salivate and get the 5th overall pick included in the deal lmao I think you overestimate other teams interest in certain players, even with salary retained. For example, if there is another team who is willing to take on a Staal's contract at 50% off from Yzerman, then why wouldnt the Rangers have just made that deal with that team originally? They could have then gotten significant cap relief without giving up the 2nd. I have to think that a team would be even more willing to take the salary retention if a 1st is involved than trade away the full contract. If Yzerman is going to be able to trade away any salary dumps, it won't be until the TDL. I have to think that if there was other interest to acquire said players for the season, they would have already made those trades with their original teams, as the asking price would be a lot less.

Cause the rangers didnt wanna take on a 2.85 cap hit off staal knowing theyd already be down like 13 mill with lundqvist bought out? i dont think theres too many teams out there willing to take on contracts , hell of a lot more teams trying to get rid .... think people will be shocked at how low cost these trades will be for some teams and how much teams will have to pay to get rid of bodies as well as ufa players getting alot less money than expected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Wings picked up M. Staal? $5,2 mill hit and full NMC??? Guess the pick that came with him was the main part of the deal? Use cap to take on salary in exchange for picks? Can never have too many picks I guess. I remember Marc from the OHL long ago and the run to the to the finals, but haven't followed him since. Looking at his stats he's def not worth what he makes. Part of the mostly overhyped Staal clan. Edited October 1, 2020 by chaps80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLGTrico 661 Report post Posted October 2, 2020 Ugh. If Fabbri moves to center, I count 8 bottom 6 forwards on this team for 20-21.

LeftWinger 5,131 Report post Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't qualify any of Ehn, Perlini or Erne. Especially if he is "open for business" to acquire Cap and assets. Those assets could very well be players that would make those three expendable (even more so.) But I guess if he qualified them for the 1 year, he could always waive them if he gets more players.

I think yzerman wont admit to failing both trades he did and erne comes back and if he doesnt make it he’ll just waive him one thing we havent talked about is if the ahl season is cancelled what happens to all these guys, cant imagine givani smith stayin home a year lets say, etc....
