Kaner is back - 3M + potential 2.5 in bonuses for playoffs and games played

YES! I've been calling for $3M all the long! Great team friendly deal! he wants Yzerman to have more money to get better!

[Jimmybigrigs69 467]

Cats managed to bring back their entire roster, so everyone is just like... might as well do the same. Literally no one is going to market lmao

Ken Holland right now watching the entire league like their team:

Smart contract. Kane is going to be in the room whipping azzes if they dont make the playoffs.

Sick of all you wings fans derailing my Red Kings thread.

Let me get us back on track:

[LeftWinger 5,153]

So......

in the dream scenario tomorrow. You have $17M left, who do we want?

Still (IMO) need a top line scorer, top LHD, middle RHD.

 

[LeftWinger 5,153]

don't know who this insider is, but this is very interesting...

Gavrikov for LHD (2-3 yrs)

Perbix for RHD (2-3 yrs)

James Van Riemsdyk for forward (1 yr)

Perbix is an underrated RHD. He would be a good pick up for the 2nd pairing. 2 or 3 years keeps him long enough until ASP is ready.

Gavrikov adds competition for Chiarot. May the best man win.

SY wanted JVR in the past. He's still a big expierenced powerforward vet that we can have for cheap. Allowing most of our money to go to Gav and Perbix, with some left over for TDL adds (which will do this year or im firing Yzerman)

Kasper - Larks - Ray

DCat - JTC - Kane

JVR - Copp - Berg

Soder - Ras - Mazur

Gav - Seider

Ed - Perbix

Chia - Gus/Holl

Not sure I buy it. No name guy who's been wrong a lot. Probably just stirring the pot trying to get attention. Likely piggybacking on true insiders. 

[LeftWinger 5,153]

any interest for depth?

[Jimmybigrigs69 467]

Loving the Marner sign n trade btw.

Apparently the leafs offered him $13.5, so Leafs regards are committed to hating him if he signs for anything less than that.

Marner signed with VGK for $12 lmao

Hes going to be the most hated ex-leaf for a while, and I wish him nothing but the best.

I'm cool with these, BUT I'd like a big swing at Ehlers, and maybe, just maybe, trade for EK as well? A right side of Seider, EK, and Perbix wouldn't be too bad I'd say...

Based on how the market and re-signings have played out, IMO theres going to be a huge bidding war for guys like Ehlers. Id rather just avoid signing another probable overpay like that.

EK would be welcome - but my guess is Pens will be asking for more than we want to give up. 

Im thinking more about 3 years from now than I am focused on winning this season. No matter what we do we wont be winning a cup in this division next year.

Ok, a few hours to go!

Wish list:

By any means (UFA or trade) please lets us get a top line winger (or center and have Larkin move leftwing) a top 4 LHD and top 4 RHD. Round out the bottom 6 with a mix of our kids and a solid grinding PK guy maybe!

[LeftWinger 5,153]

Some extensions...

TFW ur neck done got stretched

[AtlantaHotWings 1,135]

So we have Holl as our 7th D?

[Motor City Mullets 315]

Outside of over paying Boeser and Ehlers - there doesn't appear to be much left via UFA that'll help...

EDIT - forgot to add LD  Vlad Gavrikov...He might be the guy who could help Detroit the most.

Worst offseason eva. Weak draft class. Non-existent UFA group. Teams clawing each other over Perry and Perbix. 

Just give the 2026 cup to the cats and lets start that offseason.

[LeftWinger 5,153]

LOL! Ken Holland is signing Corey Perry....and Joel Armia
